    ART Specially 2020

    Hi everyone, today I would like to show you my entry for the poster contest for an art and craft event here in the Netherlands called "ART Specially", it’s a craft fair for stamping and mixed media enthusiasts. The winning project for this contest will be displayed on the posters for the event and also on social media for that year’s event. You are free to create whatever you would like as long as it contains some stamping. The ART Specially fair is held in March 2020, so in

    Hi everyone, today I’m on the Lindy’s Blog with a fun project where I create custom coloured modeling paste that you can use on all your projects, not just art journaling (like I do today).

To each part I added one colour of Lindy’s Stamp Gang powder to create the colour I was going for. I used Lindy’s Stamp Gang Magical Shakers in Magnolia Magenta G

    Hi everyone, today I’m on The Crafter’s Workshop blog with a fall inspired art journal page. I’m working in my 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). -------------------------------- The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project.

    Hi everyone, today I would like to show you guys my take on the Lindy’s Stamp Gang October Challenge Mood-board and today my focus will be on painting/water-colouring with your Lindy’s. Lindy’s Stamp Gang products are very versatile but not many people actually use them for colouring in images. Because of the gorgeous shimmer that most of these products have there are some things you need to be aware off, but when you do you will notice that Lindy’s colours are awesome waterc
