My 3 favourite projects for 2020 by Titbelsoeur

 Hello nice friends !
Each year, my last December post is dedicated to our favourite 3 projects. This is a good opportunity to wish you a very happy Christmas, and my time to look back on the things I have made and pick my top 3. This year was so weird ! Anyway, I have chosen to pick great achievements, such as :

starting videos on my YouTube channel to help my friends doing art journal during the 1st lock-down. We have made 2 journals together, but I have chosen this very page because it represents the place where I am living now, which is so precious to me, especially this year !

Seize the moment 

 I was also very happy to combine 2 supports I love to use : CDs and sardine cans on this project that shows many passions of mine : time, art, painting, and recycling. I consider this artwork as my #2 achievement. 


 

 

 My #3 achievement was that the set of cars I designed  has become a stamp set, which I am very proud of ! I have stamped them on my 2020 greeting cards, as a wish that we will soon be able to travel again...


Je me renouvelle...


I hope that many of you will participate in this very last challenge on this blog 

this is the end of an era, I am sad that it ends but let's stay tuned on social networks.
 Happy creating and thank you for your comments,

Titbelsoeur

I wish you a very happy Christmas, stay safe

What do we wish for 2021 ? by Titbelsoeur

 Hello there ! 

Here are my 2021 greeting cards. 

I have recycled the 2020 cards I had not sent (seeGreeting cards by Titbelsoeur) and stamped the 2020 Gibson Girl to the remaining ones I had not sent and written "could we just [imagine 2020] this way ?" and made another card the same size to wish you to be kind to yourself in 2021 :-)

I also wish you to travel and explore, even if in your mind, this we will know later...

To figure travel and exploration, I have stamped the Beetle I have had the pleasure to draw for The Artistic Stamper :

Je me renouvelle...

I have made the background with watercolour paints.

I have used the following stamps :

I gave myself a challenge to meet the December one, that I would use one of the stamps I designed and that were recently on sale. Then I stamped this 70's Renault 4 on a piece of watercolour paper, hid it to stamp the Christmas tree and stamped Merry Christmas, all with archival ink to ensure they would not melt when I would watercolour car and tree, and add a juice of painting on the whole card. I stamped the snowflakes with Distress ink, just to have some of them melted and others not. I then just had to add snow with a white pen.

 A tous les enfants de par le monde entier...

CD repurposed to clock by Titbelsoeur

 Hi everybody,

Since our challenge theme this month is TIME, I have made false clocks with CDs to repurpose.

 

altered cd 

 

Do you like them ? If so, I have made 2 videos on Youtube just to help you make some very easily : the first one to teach you how to make this pallet-like background, and the other one to show you how I center my stamps and never miss it (hardly ever) !

Here it is : Pallet clocks on Youtube

The time stamp I have used on this project you will find here : Time stamps

Scenery with repurposed CD and can by Titbelsoeur

 Hello there !

I decided to make this project with combining a sardine can and a CD as its base, which would allow me to add more items, such as pastels, steal feather, ink bottle, tube and pan of watercolours, a pencil,..

The CD was already full of paint, since I used it as a colour palette. I glued paper inside and outside the sardine can, I have monoprinted stamped clocks on it from Tick Tock A5 to make the background, then stamped art stamps from Artifacts - Art Plate 1

Travel tag by Titbelsoeur

 Hello there, Titbelsoeur with you today.

This is a tag I have made with corrugated cardboard painted with Gesso and blue acrylic paint. I glued on it a piece of monoprinted paper I had stamped a clock on. And I stamped, water-coloured and cut out the Beetle from the plate I designed, and sticked it with 3D sticks. I also cut out the word "memories"

 

 

The stamps I used come from the following plates :
