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 !

 

 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...

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.

A Swirl Of Colour

Hi everyone I feel like summer is here as I have just returned from Corfu.

I must say I fell in love with it and would Love to live 

there  (a dream me thinks!!!).

Back to the real world I have for you today a

butterfly and texture plaque.

I started by colouring a tag with Adirondack colour

wash which I then sprayed with water.

I put clear texture paste through the Swirl mask.

Once dry I cut out a strip and placed it across the middle

I sealed the whole thing with Matt sealer. 

Next I used antiquing cream to highlight the swirls or you could use

acrylic paint and just before its dry knock 

it back with a baby wipe.

A close up 

I stamped the butterfly x2 off the insect plate onto some extra card

 that had been coloured the same way as the main plaque.

I used versa fine black ink and clear embossed the butterfly

this got antiquated as well

Round the edges I used crackle paste and allowed to dry.

I used a torn page to go across the middle strip which 

i coloured with spiced marmalade distress ink.

The crackle paste was painted with acrylic paint to match it in.

I triple embossed create stamp and cut out

 the letters to form the art.

To finish off I highlighted it all with gilding wax.

Thank you for popping by & don't forget to

let me know what you think.

Cheers Dee x
