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 :

Stamps used: Journaling Mini Words #1 Floral Circles #1 Travel by Titbelsoeur

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.

 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

I have made this little journal to put all my memories and thoughts of the past six weeks of lockdown, and the coming months until we get back to some kind of normality. 

I have used:

A4 Swirl Mask

Faces 2

Journaling Words 2

Titbelsoeur

I have made this journal page to thank
the people who work outside risking their lives while we are locked-down. I have made the background with gel plate printings of the Artifacts - Thank you Text stamp, then I used The Splats & Swirl Mask. I finished the background using the Thank you stamp from Grungy Greetings #2 A6 that I enhanced with a white pen.
Then I drew the woman with the mask and wrote Thank You on it.

Hi everyone! Angie here with a page from my art journal for you.

For this page I created a masterboard using Amsterdam paints. I added some stencilling and stamping, then used the large flower stencil and black Sharpie pen to draw the flower. After that I painted the rest of the page with black acrylic paint.

I used the Artistic Stamper Tracy Scott Background 8 stamp, white embossing powder and a versamark ink pad on black card and cut out some of the circles, which you can see dotted around the page.

I also used a quote from the Quotes & Sayings 1 by Debs Smith stamp set for the quote at the bottom of the pages (this time with gold embossing powder).

Lastly I spent a happy few hours doodling on the page with a white Posca pen and then added some white splatter for good measure!

 Stay safe and keep crafting!

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.

Artistic Stamper products used;

SKELETON LEAVES

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.
