Wild Beauty - [Selected Scrapper Skissedilla]

Here is my interpretation of the sketch at Skissedilla this week.
Why don't you join us? Fantastic sketch by Linda Brun this week:

The photo is from our visit to Lindesnes this summer. People around me must have thought I was mad, laying in the grass, photographing the beautiful wild flowers :D

I've used dylusions inks, gorgeous stamp by Donna Downey and some chipboard by Wycinanka

Pure life - DT Scraps of Darkness and Art Anthology

Hi again folks :)

Today I'm back with a layout made with the fabolous August-kit "Rustic" by Scraps of Darkness and also Colorations by Art Anthology. Perfect match!!

I have used papers by Authentique (from the "rustic-kit"), some Gesso, different stamps and Colorations "Peacock feather" and Timeless by Art Anthology.

The photo is a tower of bells, placed in our lake Mjøsa. Each hour the bells start playing different melodies. You can hear it from a long distance.

Altered box - DT Scraps of Darkness

I had really fun altering this box (previously a box for Whiskey). I used lots of stuff from the August-kit "Rustic" by Scraps of Darkness.

Here is the box before I started and also the papers I used , Kaisercraft Base Coat II collection

First I covered the box whith Gesso and also used distress ink on the edges.

Then I started to decorate the box, on all sides top+bottom (I plan to decorate the top a bit more)
Used the stencil included in the kit with Shimmerz TextureZ (included in a previous kit) random places on the background.
I also added inks and paints on the lace.

My black Gelato is my best friend and here I've used it on the apple chipboards included in the kt: (also used it several other places on the box, where you see black - it's the black Gelato ♥ )

Imagine - Canvas

Here is a Canvas I made, published in Ett Trykk in August.

I really loved how the colors worked out here, the hint of orange and all the blue(s)

Lots of stamps, paint by Golden, Gesso, Distress paint by Tim Holtz, India Ink, stencils and tissue paper.

I have used a chipboard by Blue Fern as a stencil to make the pattern which looks like a large frame underneath the paint.

Here you can see some of the Blue Fern chipboard frame which I used as a stencil togehter with Gesso:

I have been playing with this kit for several projcets and two of them ready to show you today:
First, a layout of myself again, almost vintage but a bit "Rustic" (as the name of the kit)

Last month I was published in a Norwegian scrapbooking-magazing, Et Trykk.
Had lots of pages showing several of my work, layouts, canvases, cards and journals.
Will be showing some of it a bit later.
Anyhow, I had to take a picture of the magazine with the photo of me and of course, had to scrap that as well!

The next one I'm showing is a couple of mixed media cards.
Our yougest daughter is playing soccer and her coaches will get a small gift after season and I was asked to make some cards for them.

Maybe hard to see, but I actually used the papers by Kaisercraft Basecoat as a base here, but they are inked and misted a lot. Also added some texture with molding paste and stamps.

Art Journal page - DT Art Anthology

Hi again folks!
I'm back with a new art journal with lots of yummy Art Anthology products.


This journal pages are rather personal, that's why the journaling is quite difficult to read. I know what I wrote, that's the most important thing for me.

I started the pages with some gesso and used Colorations in several layers (Waimea bay and Glorious), added some water, used some stencils and more colorations. (Sangria, Waimea bay and Glorious)

When it was all dry I stamped with Velvet (Lagoon) all around the pages.

When dry, I added a lot of background stamps, some tissue paper and medium.
Also used some inkpads with stencils random places.

Outlining the lady stamp (by Dina Wakley) I used a pencil (Stabilo All), water and white acrylic paint. All around the pages I used my beloved black Gelato.

Wishing you all a happy day and thanks for stopping by!
