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 :

Inspiration by Titbelsoeur

Hi this is Titbelsoeur, back with a 15 mn card !
First of all, I have used a piece of plastic wrap to give some texture to a watercolour juice and meet our May creative challenge, then I have stamped Honeycomb Background and the word "Inspiration" from Journaling Words 3. On a notebook page, I have stamped the beautiful door you will find on Architecture 3, teared the page and sticked it to the background paper.

Card or art journal page, your choice !

I hope my project gives you inspiration to participate in our

Shaving foam background by Titbelsoeur

Hello crafters !
I have told you on the September Challenge post that I would show you my backgrounds made with shaving foam.
The technique is very simple and I like to get back to fundamentals from time to time ! You will find a lot of tutorials on Pinterest or using your web browser search tool.
Here is the page I have coloured with this technique, cut in 6 parts to make a mini-album :

And here it is, front page, 2 double pages and back page :

Busy Bee Tag by Gemma

Hello

I have a tag to share with you all today, I made this tag using Artistic Stamper stamps, PaperArtsy paints, and chipboard.

My Process

Thank you

Owl Tag by Gemma

 I am in love again with all thing crafty and tag related, so I have one to share with you all today that fits in with our challenge theme of Birds and Bees. You can join in the challenge here on the blog or over on the facebook page. 

What I did 😀

I started by placing blobs of Slate, Caramel, and gesso onto my mat. I picked up the paint with a small card and scrapped it onto the tag. sometimes I only picked up one colour and other times all three. I kept layering until I was pleased with the result.

I then stamped over the top with one of my all-time favorite stamps Chicken Wire and Hazelnut coloured ink. When I stamped this I wanted it to be 'bitty' I like the areas of missing ink and different colour intensity. 

Then I spread a thin layer of Purple Rain over my mat and used that to stamp the smallest bee stamp from the set repeatedly over the tag. I stamped quite a lot of bees over the tag I wanted it to be busy but not uniform.

While that was drying I painted some chipboard from my stash scarlet and then stamped over the top with the Honeycomb background stamp and slate paint. I spread the slate onto my mat as I had done with the bees but this time after stamping in Slate I mixed the paint with small amounts of gesso and restamped, I did this a couple of times, before drying and gluing the chipboard to my tag.

To finish I just added some flowers, beads and the metal owl from my stash before gluing in place I stamped onto the flowers with the honeycomb stamp and more paint.

Chicken Wire Background Stamp

Honeycomb and Bee stamps

Bees by Titbelsoeur

Hello everyone,
This is a canvas I have first covered with corrugated cardboard, gessoed and painted it. Then added a piece of an old pair of jeans, and a stamped page of a book.
On both sides, I have sticked pieces of a very special masking tape, that you won't find in any shop. Why ? because I have made it on my own, with 2 Artistic Stamper stamps that fit very well to it :

this one from Ephemera 1 A5

and that one from Labels A6

I also could have used stamps from The Open Road 1 A5  but I did not.

I first stamped the book page with the small bee from Honeycomb Background & Free Bees, using a lot of Versa and Izink inks, to have a multicolor background. I stamped the queen and hid her to protect when stamping the honeycomb. .

Here is the finished project :

Canvas by Titbelsoeur

Hello everyone,
To make this altered canvas, I  first cut and corrugated cardboard pieces, then I applied gesso with my fingers, sprayed some ink and stamped Ephemera 1 A5 with black ink :

Then I added some ink on pieces of fabric and stamped garden tools, bees, butterfly and mushroom with black Archival ink. I also glued tissue paper on to my canvas and added some white gesso on it. Then sticked fabric on to cardboards and cardboards on to the canvas.

Here is the finished piece :

Wet Wipe background by Gemma

 We all use wet wipes to clean up after our very messy selves when we craft, and sometimes they end up the most beautiful colours. If you dry them out they can by used in so many ways here I have turned one into a background for a very simple card.

One dried out and beautiful wet wipe, Hmmmmm I wonder if I could ever get that deliberately  

I then added some blue with a distress ink and the honeycomb mask. Over that, I stamped with different coloured distress ink, the honeycomb stamp and mini honeycomb stamp.

Then I added the word dream from the framed words set and some gems to finish.

Thanks for reading, I have loved seeing everyone's challenge entries this month and can not wait to see what next month brings

Mini Backgrounds #3

Tiny cards by Titbelsoeur

Hello there !

To meet the April challenge at The Artistic Stamper, I have made tiny cards just a bit larger than the new mini background stamps, I guess my cards have the same size as ATCs.

I have made the 3 cards the same way : stamped background and stamped image and word, so that they look like a triptych :

I have used the following stamps :
