Altered clock (Don't forget to fly)

 

 

I had so much fun creating this clock! I can recommend this clock to everybody! I used tons of embellishments, gesso, sprays and acrylic paints, it was so awesome to do....

 

 

 

I was inspired by, and entering the following challenges:

 

 

Mixed Media Place challenge March 'Dream on....'

 

I was immediately inspired by this utterly gorgeous moodboard. The soft colors of lilac and shades of blue are sublime.

I used finnabair art stones in my project, inspired by the middle and top right picture of the moodboard. 

The picture of the hands holding the glitter is so beautiful, that I wanted to incorperate that also in my project.

 Unfortunately you can't see it in the pictures, but in real, the opal magic paints from finnabair and the graphite paste give a subtle shimmer to the whole project.

When I made this layout, I was also inspired by the moodboard from

These soft colors, the butterfly and the beautiful flowers

are such a beautiful way to start a layout....

Mixed media layout 'Cherish' (You are my bliss forever)

 

I have created a mixed media layout, based on the beautiful moodboard from

Dusty Attic Challenge March 

I loved this color combination....

 

My other inspiration came from the

More than Words Main Challenge Bliss & Gesso ( march 2016)

 

 I would like to enter my layout for both challenges.

 

Here are some close ups:

 

This is how I interpreted the challenge bliss & gesso:

 

The title is: 'Cherish' (You are my bliss forever) and I guess it's not hard to explain why...

My little girl is my bliss, she brings joy into my life every day...

 

Gesso technique (one of my favs):

Use a roller and gesso on patterned paper.

I mixed clear and white gesso, so the pattern from the page is still visible.

 

My second step was using only white gesso and a stencil, rolling over it with my roller.

 

This is the result:

 

My next step: spraying some primary elements on the page.

I used alchemy acrylic paint on the edges.

Then another layer of gesso.

When dry I used my oilpastels (white on the whole page, black on the edges)

 

And last but not least a stencil from Dusty Attic and modelling paste...

 

And this is the end result...

 

 

 

I was inspired to create this page by the very talented Maryse Jolin

I saw this video from Maryse and I loved her drawing techniques.

 

  

I was also very inspired by this layout from KareenBH

 

 

 

Thank you ladies for sharing your talent and inspiring others.

Layout 'Wonderful' (it's the little things that make life big)

 

 

Here is my new layout, based on the colors of the beautiful moodboard from Scrap the girls February Challenge and More than Words February Challenge 'Wonderful & Sparkle' and 7 Dots studio February Challenge 'Emotions' 

I would like to enter my layout for these challenges.

 

 

 

 

I really loved the black and gold moodboard from Scrap the girls, the word inspiration and creative challenge at More than Words and the emotions challenge at 7 Dots Studio

I had a blast combining these three challenges together.

 

 I love the word wonderful and to add sparkle, well that's so my thing! I love glitter and I think I have never created a project without any sparkle! ( I think I went nuts on this one LOL).

 

I used a picture from my daughter, because when she was born, I discovered a whole new dimension of emotions...

 

My girl is my everything, she is what makes life big for me...

She is wonderful and the best thing that ever happened to me...

Layout 'Wonder' (leave a little sparkle wherever you go)

 

 

Here is my new layout, created for Words & Paintery February challenge 

and More Than Words February Challenge Wonderful&Sparkle

 

I combined these two challenges because they both have the theme glitter/sparkle/shine in it.

 

My title is choosen from the word Wonderful.

Wonderful is a word I totally love...

It means in Dutch: Prachtig (Lovely) but the word Wonder, is an English word, but also a Dutch word! It means in Dutch: Miracle

And that is what my daughter is: My miracle.

She gives me joy everyday, and she makes my day sparkle!

 

As you can see in the close up pictures, I used some glitter on my leaves, and the stars are created with glitter mixed with light paste and applied with a stencil. The sequins give a little extra sparkle!

 

 

 

I want to mention Kareen Dion and Caroline Elliam because they are two very talented ladies, and their work inspires me a lot!

 

I hope you will join us for the February Challenge at Words& Paintery this month!
