Flowers in the Night. by Jane

Hydrangeas are just the most beautiful flowers are they not!! especially the deep pink and the deep blue kind. I have no room in my garden for a hydrangea bush, so I  have a couple in pots, but alas they don't fare too well in them. We are still on with the "In the garden" challenge, so you still have time to enter this month.

To make the hydrangeas and the sentiment really pop on the dark background I embossed them with white embossing powder.

Confinart journal - part 2 by Titbelsoeur

Hi everyone !
Hope you are all safe.
I told you on my last post here Dragonfly page by Titbelsoeur about the "Confinart Journal" I have made and posted on Youtube to help my French friends doing mixed-media art while locked-down.
I enjoyed very much to shoot these tutorials and am very happy with the comments I received about it.
Here below are 2 pages from this art journal. I have used 2 big stamps and 2 background ones, and I love the way they look on my pages :

These stamps are Large Butterfly and Large Bee,  Dots background and Honeycomb background

Would you like to view how I use the Artistic Stamper stamps, please have a look at this video :

Hope it gives you inspiration to participate in our

"Blossom with Time" by Jane

Do artists blossom with time?...I certainly think so, when I look back at my style of crafting when I first started, it has definitely changed, I am still working on trying to be much looser, much freer, and less analytical, I'm not there yet,will I ever get there!!!,definitely not if I am always getting to a point where I dare not make another mark on it for fear of ruining it!!! heck...what do I have to fear...the piece will only go on the teetering mountain of previous stuff anyway!!LOL.

Anyway, enough of my mentality and on to this months challenge, in the garden. sorry guys for my overuse of this brilliant stencil yet again, but I love it.

I love it for its random feel..which I think was more luck than on purpose, but is totally my case in point with trying to be freer..!!

Hello everybody,

I have made one of theses pages doing prints on my gel plate with the dragonfly from the Butterflies 2 plate :

The video tutorial using this Artistic Stamper dragonfly on to gel plate is here :

I was messing around with some paperclay and ended up with a a scrappy bit left over, so I flattened it out in a scruffy manner!! and decided to stamp into it with one of the SKELETON LEAVES, there are five different sizes in this set, rangeing from huge to tiny, I love them, and I love the impression it left on the paperclay, a bit fossil like.

First I painted a square piece of card with green acrylic paint and embossed it with a background stamp and green embossing powder.

Next I stamped a selection of mushroom images and coloured them in with watercolours, then cut them out. I glued one layer of mushrooms to the background, then glued a strip of adhesive foam to the bottom of the it. I stuck another set of mushrooms to the foam strip, positioned the Tim Holtzpaperdoll and added some decorative moss.

Finally I glued the whole scene into a little wooden box.

We hope that you will join in this month's challenge, and also join us on Facebook too.

We look forward to seeing your creations. Don't forget to add a comment when you have posted your entry. 

Have a Happy Creative Month
