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 :

Time Travellers by Wendy Waldorf

 I was happy to be invited to create a sample project for The Artistic Stamper for the month of October. The challenge topic this month is "TRAVEL".


 

 I like to imagine that these steampunk creatures would make perfect time travelers. The designs were stamped with black ink onto the smooth side of watercolor paper. I used metallic watercolor paints to paint the images and then fussy cut around them when they were dry. They were then attached to painted spring style clothespins. A yarn scrap and steampunk gears were added as embellishments. The clothespins are clipped to a piece of watercolor paper that was painted with a gelli plate. The edges of the word Journey were distressed with watercolor crayons. 

Stamps Used:

TickTock Butterflies

Drawing with stamps by Titbelsoeur

 Hello everyone !

Here is a travel-book-like drawing I have made 2 years ago. I felt like I had to add a car on it ! 

Then I stamped one of the cars I have designed for The Artistic Stamper, coloured it with watercolours, added it to the drawing and of course added the shadows to be realistic !

And here it is, a page that fits our October challenge. Your turn now !

Our Guest Designer is Wendy Waldorf. Please welcome her, and watch out for another post later in the month.


 

I was given an opportunity to be a guest designer at The Artistic Stamper for the month of October. The challenge theme this month is "travel". When I think of travel, my mind immediately goes to the seashore. I always like to bring home a few reminders of my visit to the beach. I altered a vintage playing card box for this project. The colorful background paper was created using tempera paint sticks. The Gibson Girls were colored with pencils and given dimension with the use of foam tape pads. I used seed beads for the fish eyes. 

Many thanks to The Artistic Stamper Team for supplying a variety of wonderful stamps for me to work with. I used the following stamp sets for this project:

Swimming fish with waves

Gibson Girls 2

Journaling Words 2 

 

In addition this month Titbelsoeur has designed some Travel stamps that are perfect for those of us who like nostalgia .

 This is a door hanger I have made with a piece of cardboard I have distressed and covered with gesso, then turquoise and orange acrylic paint for the background. One step forward I have stamped the big one from Mushrooms © Debs Smith, cut it out and slightly coloured it with soft pastels. 

This mushroomy background to give my project a "so 70's" tone !

In the foreground I have cut out the van and "wanderlust" from the very new plate I have designed for The Artistic Stamper and that I am very proud to introduce to you :

First I stamped the word stamp on a white tag, and the car on a gelli print, as well as on a white piece of card. I cut out the gelli print and just the window of the car from the white card, then glued this to the car. I stamped the flowers on another gelli print and cut them out. I used a piece of washi tape as the “road” for the car, then glued the car to the tag. I arranged the flowers around the edges and glued them down when I was happy with the layout. The edges are embossed with gold embossing powder. Finally I found a quote in my stash and glued this on too.
  
 We hope that you will join in this month's challenge, and also join us on Facebook too.
