Stencilling on Canvas and Denim

Hi everyone, today I’m on The Crafter’s Workshop blog with a fun and functional project where I use stencils on different fabrics. The techniques can result in a simple yet elegant result like I show on today’s apron or you can do multiple steps for a more layered effect like I show on the canvas bag/tote. Let’s get started! -------------------------------- The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project. The opinions I share are solely my own. ---

Alcohol Ink and a hair dryer

Hi everyone, today I’m on the Colourstock blog with a fun experiment: I tried alcohol ink on Yupo paper (which is not really paper, it’s a non porous synthetic with the feel of glossy paper) for the first time! I had a lot of fun and I needed to do a lot of cleaning afterwards! Step 1: First of all, protect your work surface! I can’t stress this enough! I worked on two A4 sized sheets of Yupo. I used Copic Various Inks (which are the Copic refills) for this technique, as well

Art Journal Page: Sunrise

Hi everyone, today I’m on The Crafter’s Workshop blog with a fun art journal page using the newest range of The Crafter’s Workshop stencils in combination with acrylic paints. This page was created in a 13 x 21 cm Art Plus Moleskine Sketchbook (I keep an empty page between two used pages, when the project is finished I glue them together, this way anything bleeding through won’t damage a previous project and when you want to poke a hole in the page you can). -----------------

Flower card with Air dry clay Mould

Hi everyone, today I'm on the Lindy's Stamp Gang blog and I would like to show you this fun Spring themed flower card using a gorgeous combination of Lindy’s Stamp Gang colours. Step 1: I started with some Canson “XL Watercolor“ paper (mainly because it’s the same crème colour as the moulds that I will show you later on, you can use any watercolour paper you like though). Before stamping use your anti static powder tool. On the watercolour paper I stamped several of the flowe

Art Journal Page: Happiness is ...

Hi everyone, today I would like to show you my take on the Canvas Corp Brands Summer Challenge that has recently been published: all crew members (the Canvas Corp Design Team) were sent a Canvas Corp canvas item, in my case a “Little Flat Tote“ (size 6x6 inch), and the challenge is to “use it EITHER in a project you often do - a layout, a card or a art journal spread for example OR use the item you were sent as it is“. Since I love to create art journal pages I decided to u

Rainbows & Unicorns

Hi everyone, today I’m showing you my take on this month’s Special Extra Lindy’s Stamp Gang Challenge. The theme is Rainbows & Unicorns and the challenge is to create any project using Lindy's products and a Rainbow of Colors (brights/pastels) OR Unicorns (or Unicorn colors). I couldn’t choose so I combined both but I didn’t wanted my project to be too busy: that’s is why I decided on using the silhouette of a unicorn on a colourful background! So, let’s get started! Step 1:

CraftAddiction Guest Design Project

Hi everyone, I’m very excited to show you today’s project: not only because I love how this mixed media canvas turned out (I don’t create canvasses very often, not because I don’t like to create them but just because I don’t know what to do with them when they are ready, there is only so much room in my house, this particular canvas I created for my new bathroom), but also because this project is a guest design project I created for CraftAddiction for their June Mood Board Ch

Venetian Carnival Mask

Hi everyone, today I’m on The Crafter’s Workshop blog with a bit of a different project then usual. For today’s project I was inspired by the masks that people wear during the Venice Carnival each year. I somehow find the renaissance costumes and beautiful masks quite fascinating (you can do a Google search if you would like to know what I’m talking about). This year carnival in Venice (Italy) is between the 27th of January and the 13th of February. --------------------------
