B&W card

Hi, it's me, Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell) here for you today)))))

Do you like b&w art? I like it sooooooooo much!

And today you have to have a look at my b&w card.

It's about girls.

And about girlish hopes ;)

Every girl should have to hope for and what to believe!

Look at from a different angle:

I've used two stamps to make this card: Journaling Mini Words and Small but beautiful Gibson Girls perfect for ATC's size

Hope you like it ;)

Have a good day!

Notebook for serious young man

Hi there) It/s Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell) here for you today.

If you do not mind, I'll show you a notebook, which I did for a serious young man.

Do you know that the quantity is not always equivalent to quality? Sometimes "less" may be the best choice!
I'm sure that the next photo will be able to demonstrate this assertion.

Yes, you saw it right - I used just a single stamp to decorate this notebook.

As you can see, that was quite enough!

I would like to draw the attention of all those who (as I do) loves shtamping in any place and on any material - stamps of this brand give excellent and precise imprints even at such a "rough" fabrics like this - look at the photo a little closer:

 I hope you are also love sometimes do such little things for serious people who alien to the "flowers and bows"!

Have a nice day, and serious people close to all of you! :)))))

...lightness and transparency...

Hello everyone!

It's Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell) is here for you today ;)

Today I will show you a card that I wanted to do for a long time.

The point is mixed media style pay very much attention to the layers. But in this style  artists generally use layers of different materials and medias.

And I wanted to make a card using the translucent layers of tracing paper.

Let's see.

I wanted to achieve the effect of lightness and transparency.
For this I used the white tracing paper, stamping pad were taken not black, but the color of licorice, and also pale blue letters for the label.

Here are only three layers and letters. As you can see some lower layers climbs out of the edges of the upper layers.

This card does not correspond to the style of "clean and simple", but that's how it would be desirable to describe!

I've used the Encyclopaedia Botanica stamps set 

I hope you enjoyed this technique! Perhaps you also want to try to make a card with layers of tracing paper ...

 I am sure that they will be easy and beautiful!

Have fun!

Butterflies in my head

Spring hurry, hurry to come faster...

The sun begins to burn brighter and hotter, the sky turns blue and the birds build their nests in full ...

What else can be in your head?

Only butterflies!

Hi, it's me, Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell) here for you today.

Early spring sadness often torturing me - and I'm always looking for ways to cheer up a bit.

This time I made a motivator - the picture with butterflies.

It will hang on my wall just above the computer screen)))))

Side view is better seen that butterflies are going to fly right now!

I've used the Encyclopaedia Botanica Size A5 for the butterflies

I hope this spring, you have a good mood, isn't it?

Ribbons and leaves

Hi, it's me, mellpellmell (Maria Potapovich) here for you today!

And I have a little questionfor you...

Whether you like gifts?

And whether you like to give gifts?

And how do you package your gifts?

Do you know how do I do it?

Soooooo...

The first step:

  The second and final step:

Here you'll find branches-leaves - Botanical Plate 2 A5
And here - the crowns for the ribbon London A6

Have a good creative day!

...remembering the autumn...

Winter will end soon ...
Soon will come the spring...
 But I remember last fall...
Maybe because I now do not have enough bright colors, which was a lot recently!.. ..?

And if you pay attention, you will notice that I used the stamps at all of the other subjects.

Look, I took the flags from this set of stamps 

and an umbrella from this set:

I hope your autumn was as bright as mine.
And as I dare to hope that spring will be even brighter!

With <3 from Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell).

Words LO

Hi)
Here is Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell) here for you today.

Flu raging in our house for several days.
This year it is particularly insidious ...
So this LO, probably done  the most in order to cheer me up.

To be honest, for the creating this project, I did not need anything but a photo and stamp with positive words)
Let's see.

A little closer:

Slightly to the left:

Downwards slightly to the right:

And another angle:

Here is the best Journaling Mini Words stamp , heh:

P. S. I have to confess that in addition to photo and stamp I also used the paper for the base, glue, white gel pen and two kinds of acrylic ink (for splashes). Although still is not very much material ...) Do you agree?

Bloom. End of story.

Heh, hi, Stampers))))

It's Maria Potapovich here for you today)
Me and my new box.

Do you like Botanical Plates 1 and 2?
Here is the one of them:

And here is my box, made with these stamps:

Lots of flowers and greenery ...

Girls in the garden. Butterflies and birds are their neighbors.

Rhinestones and white paint add a little "dew" in the garden.

Of course, this garden will be stored under the transparent cover - so to speak "behind the fence".)))

Do you already want to make your garden in a box?

Or do you have some other idea?

I already want to see your results!

My fav from 2014 at Artistic Stamper ;)

Hi!
It's me, mellpellmell here for you today.

You know, there is a tradition - before the new year to remember what you have done over the past year...

I also want to remember and tell you about it...

So, let's see my favourite Artistic Stamper creations from this year.

The first is the ATC series of two cards. I like the messy view of this stamps - letters and numerals :)

The second is minimalistic card made with a single stamp "leaf". It is very sharp and very realistic looks after coloring.

And the last - LO with different botanical stamps - butterflies, beetles and text (the most excellent option for the background!)

I am grateful to all of you that you remembered it all with me.

And thanks to all of you - the design team, the readers and even bystanders at this blog, that you spent this year along with me!

And I wish you all Happy New Year!!!

Imagine it!

Hi, dear friends))

It's Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell) here for you today.

If you think I'm going to share with you something related with Christmas or New Year, you are greatly wrong!

Like every year, I will prepare for these holidays exactly one day before their occurrence)))))

So today I am going to show a card, which is made to the birthday of my friend who has a very big plans for good luck! 

I'm sure luck will be with him! 

The main thing is to believe in yourself and allow yourself to "get lucky by the tail"... 

Do you agree with me?

Among my stamps there was no an exclamation point. I decided that I could do it of the letter "I"...

 In the following photo hard to see card, but it is clearly seen that the stamps adhered on three levels.

For this card I've used  Seaside No. 1 # 018  A5 set (as you see, you can color your stamp as you like!)

Have a nice day and always believe in luck!
