I've been hanging out on Instagram mostly these past years. But I do miss sharing some stuff here now and then. What better way is there to start off blogging again than to reveal the collaboration piece I did with StencilGirl columnist Tina Walker, which is all about self portraits.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.4px;">Collab participants were challenged to create a self portrait, using any mediums, design styles, or techniques of choice, but with the caveat, to create a portrait as they see themselves. This is what I made for the challenge using a whole heap of my fave StencilGirl Stencils and a lot of different media. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiyxwnJi9DHgDnty_oONDZax9RFimc8FC57TZBBkAr7xJOPffLll-flUqxK9TbvCmbUyTuimeFA-Bl0TCzDk6n8DGDjWx_l3OK4JiD9eyIsWapH9GSbyG2LyIi2zvQMx_iMkK9LdSe5es0atgf_QQsp9yhtkbQc3ejNiw9gEqNeittIXzcyhAxMJkX3=s3426" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2474" data-original-width="3426" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiyxwnJi9DHgDnty_oONDZax9RFimc8FC57TZBBkAr7xJOPffLll-flUqxK9TbvCmbUyTuimeFA-Bl0TCzDk6n8DGDjWx_l3OK4JiD9eyIsWapH9GSbyG2LyIi2zvQMx_iMkK9LdSe5es0atgf_QQsp9yhtkbQc3ejNiw9gEqNeittIXzcyhAxMJkX3=w640-h462" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I started with a face stamp on watercolor paper. and wanted to create an underwater mermaid scene.

And today I would like to share a project which was a result of the experimentation which is an interactive watercolor painting.<br />

<br />
The base is a large piece of watercolor paper by Viking 1914. I used the landscape pad which is 15x42 cm, 310gms in weight & 50% cotton. The paper was glued on all sides to the block so the paper doesn't warp with using a lot of water. Great quality paper and having it taped down is very important for a successful watercolor painting. The paints I used are from Sennelier, a french professional watercolor brand which I have filled the wells of my Koi travel pocket box with. The brush I am using is a large quill brush and I made sure to have 2 water cups, one for cleaning and one for mixing. I traced the face silhouette from Seth Apter's Borderliners Large stencil (a <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-club-december-2017-seth-apter-s/2058.htm" target="_blank">dec. 2017 StencilGirl® StencilClub stencil </a>release) on the right hand side and then went to work to create a galaxy color composition over the entire page.<br />
<br />

<br />
When working with watercolors, timing is key, so I do not have many mid process pictures. I've worked on these layers for about 30-45 minutes, adding color and letting them blend out in a process you have to practice with patience and appropriate speed. I have watched many tutorials on YouTube on how to create galaxy watercolor paintings and this is a very simple & effective tutorial: <a href="https://youtu.be/ZFVLLjS912E" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/ZFVLLjS912E </a>and I have applied the same technique in my painting.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
After the piece was thoroughly dry I took a medium damp cloth and created texture by removing some color over the dotted pattern in the large stencil. I only did this on the aria's opposite the silhouette.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4S2ONdRSelcLULkgTRBkStB7RQw9AuGfm346wPRQ1U4FeacKo2J-gLDY03muBOwF3vgIGwlJvvnD6hKEywWbw3gAAOTEpPZigQQS62U7ljYrwdHtyRKlGRV62mbV0Rh7C6Z-OzXGBCE0/s1600/sg-imagination-vs-knowledge_4.jpg"><img border="0" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4S2ONdRSelcLULkgTRBkStB7RQw9AuGfm346wPRQ1U4FeacKo2J-gLDY03muBOwF3vgIGwlJvvnD6hKEywWbw3gAAOTEpPZigQQS62U7ljYrwdHtyRKlGRV62mbV0Rh7C6Z-OzXGBCE0/s640/sg-imagination-vs-knowledge_4.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
I made sure the silhouette was standing out by using contrasting colors and keeping the edge of the line as sharp as possible. Darkened the face up more and used an opaque white ink for the starker contrast. Now to add more patterns in the piece.<br />
<br />

<br />
With a black paint pen I have traced the large bubbles which were in the same large stencil as the face, then colored them in with the opaque white acrylic paint. I also splattered some of the white paint over the painting. The added in the quote "Imagination is more important than Knowledge" with the black paint liner. The quote by Einstein is found on the <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-pen-ink-lesley-riley-p/l346.htm" target="_blank">Pen & Ink Large stencil by Lesley Riley</a>.<br />

After I was done with the painting I took it off the watercolor block I folded the painting because I planned to make an interactive piece out of it.<br />

I took a semi transparent acrylic dark blue and a semi opaque lighter blue paint and sponged it through the large numbers of the Borderliners stencils. Then traced the numbers in with a black paint liner. I cut out the silhouette face so it folded over the quote. I traced the quote lines with a wite paint liner for some contrast. </div>

This is what it looks like when you open up the side of the face. With an exacto knife I cut open a portion of the silhouette line, folded in half to glue it in place like this. Added the same numbers border with a mix of the paint and traced it with a white paint liner. With this last detail added I called the interactive painting done. Here are some close up pictures. </div>

Hey all, today over at <a href="https://www.stencilgirltalk.com/" target="_blank">StencilGirl® Talk</a> we have a bloghop going on in which we at the creative team swapped a bunch of square collaged stenciled pieces which we then corporate in an art piece ourselves. I received squares from my team mates Slivia, Debi, Katie and Sunila & Aditti. And I have made an art journal page where I used the squared pieces and cut out the fantasy animals from this stencil <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-masks-figments-imagination-lg-Carolyn-Dube-p/l583.htm" target="_blank">Figments of Imagination by Carolyn Dube</a> against the backdrop of this gorgeous scenery stencil by <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-Mountain-Landscape-Andrew-Borloz-p/l715.htm" target="_blank">Mountain Landscape by Andrew Borloz</a>. The sentiment "believe you can & find magic" is made with the <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/uplifting-words-stencil-carolyn-dube-p/l258.htm" target="_blank">Uplifting words stencil by Carolyn Dube.</a><br />

It was really fun to have to come up with something with the materials that I have received from my fellow team mates, via our super CT coordinator Carol. Have a look at our blog to see what the others in our team came up with an comment on each blog to be entered in the giveaway prize.<br />

Hi all, this is my final post for StencilGirl® Products as part of their Creative team and I have really enjoyed making this art journal page based on one of my current fave songs. Please head to the post on <a href="https://www.stencilgirltalk.com/2019/04/stenciled-poetry-mermaid-songs.html" target="_blank">StencilGirl Talk</a> to see which song that is and how I made this.

On the <a href="https://www.stencilgirltalk.com/" target="_blank">StencilGirl® blog</a> we are extending the focus on love and friendship as a theme this month and I wanted to share this art journal page I made while contemplating this theme. It's an intuitive art journal page for which I used minimal products and a few wonderful <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/searchresults.asp?Search=ATC&Submit=" target="_blank">ATC format stencils from StencilGirl® Products</a> which also are the perfect size for pocket sized journals like I am using.<br />

Hi and happy winter Solstice! With the holidays and new year nearly upon us, it's time to spend with friends and family to deepen the bond we have with them during this time of festivities and renewal. I have an art journal page to share with you which I have dedicated to my sisters, or as I like to call them, my SisSTARS because they definitely have a bright shining spot in my heart. I've used AALL & Create products for this and I'll share the process of making the journal spread with you now. </div>

So in my project <a href="https://missthundercat.blogspot.com/2018/12/celebrate-season-aall-create.html" target="_blank">last week</a> I showed you how I used the numerical circles from set #110 to make a season themed card. Since I only used a portion of the stamp, I also cut out circles and leafs with punches to use in this project. I also cut out the fern, but alas that didn't fit into the journal spread this time. Good to have for another project :) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with gluing the circular and leaf pattern down randomly on the pages in my junk journal with matte medium. Some aria's have been embossed with copper embossing powder so that will have some extra texture. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I applied some gesso over it and then raked the edge of a plastic knife through the gesso for some interesting texture. When that dried I applied modeling paste through the Lotz of Dotz stencil #39 over some empty spots. The teeny tiny dot pattern also remind me of stars. Now to add some color. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I took my small foam brayer and a few cool blue colors, ranging from light to dark to add depth and contrast on the pages. Then to add color under the stenciled aria's I used some home made shimmer sprays from Cosmic Shimmer and Lindy's Gang.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used some darker grey colors like pewter (cosmic shimmer) and black forest (Lindy's gang) and made sure that the most of the white was saturated with color. To get more of the contrast back I traced the patterns with a blue Stabilo all pencil & activated them with water to get the shading going. I also stamped the grungy flower of set 123 randomly over the page. I left it to rest and took</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The next day I added a deeper layer of color over the page and some scribbles & sayings like Pinky Swear, Keep your promises always, stay grounded in gratitude and a few others to signify the sisterly bond. The word stars is a die cut from DieNamics and cut out of starry scrap book paper. I used black forest ink to darken the background and white to highlight the word. The image of the sisters are from Tim Holtz vintage people pack. To ground them I added hemp twine and a skelleton leaf. The text stamp is from set 123 as well and I stamped it on a contrasting color to make it pop out more. </div>

It's halfway through december and holiday preparations are in full swing. I wanted to show that you can create a card for the holidays without needing explicit themed stamps and I am using wonderful products from AALL & Create for this project. </div>

It's all about color and perception. Adding the green and red colors through the lotz of dotz #39 stencil in the background makes it festive for the season. </div>

The circular patterns on stamp set 120 are really fun to use on their own and I embossed them with copper, cut them out and colored them with very bright yellow gold watercolors. I enhanced the edges with a metallic wink of luna marker in copper & extra accents with a white gel pen.</div>

I then adhered them to the card with pop up dots. Stamping the flower stem of set 123 makes them look like lovely hanging ornaments.</div>

It's saturday and that means I have another project to share with you using wonderful AALL & Create products. This time I made this art journal page using a lot of texture and elements to create a deep rich mixed media page. let me tell you how I made it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off by stamping this gorgeous girl image from set 127 by Katy Paltridge on a piece of book paper that had excess paint on. I gessoed the text part & stamped with Versafine black to get a crisp imprint. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here I have stamped the flower multiple times from set 123 by Tracy Evans on a piece of gelli printed paper and cut then out to include in the art journal at a later point. First I had to incorporate the stamped image into the art journal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have glued the book page and several text and music clippings to my art journal page to create more texture and layers. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIlbYbfhB9isilJ4LE0aDcvd-89OEpKPYmDG4eyU-JKgtwNPV984vun3Tqy200eacZbt0ZkOO390_RarAOIBTON-qdew-4vVqA0eiO0UyKZs1fNW3TfD8AzxCSd6syjEsgzDtfXJgygQ4/s1600/wip-ac-blossom-dream_32320020908_o.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIlbYbfhB9isilJ4LE0aDcvd-89OEpKPYmDG4eyU-JKgtwNPV984vun3Tqy200eacZbt0ZkOO390_RarAOIBTON-qdew-4vVqA0eiO0UyKZs1fNW3TfD8AzxCSd6syjEsgzDtfXJgygQ4/s640/wip-ac-blossom-dream_32320020908_o.jpg" width="564" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I added gesso, white and gold over the collaged elements and stamped bits of set 120 with Staz on stone gray over the page for some cohesion. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Bw46DhT3qnF3-d09JuZfJ7HAVCO_TTiKw_lVPoEHksPmjZy8s6q2woWPbzfhpgFdRZtFPVBDxOSVqxbuA-I8ZnnQdM6FhZVjYPLNEaENMsk19ro-S6i1vC9paYhLZqRH9Mf20_237Qk/s1600/wip-ac-blossom-dream_45467997174_o.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Bw46DhT3qnF3-d09JuZfJ7HAVCO_TTiKw_lVPoEHksPmjZy8s6q2woWPbzfhpgFdRZtFPVBDxOSVqxbuA-I8ZnnQdM6FhZVjYPLNEaENMsk19ro-S6i1vC9paYhLZqRH9Mf20_237Qk/s640/wip-ac-blossom-dream_45467997174_o.jpg" width="550" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To add more interest to the page I took stencil 41 Mickle Muckle and added white crackle paste through it. Under the layers I also glued on some different fiber fabrics to add to the deverse texture. I had let this dry really well before applying color on it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinhlfuMvv-jXPHX062SCbCd1XMD7Pn3rgoZY5DpbuA_G8tE0qyA-9rolhcpwiV2Og-VZ-0kNyXUjBcBO5YTkok9o-K7vP2nZrPzEa_Aa_2pjUVjfYLOIHk0xN6sWua9mS7GpgM2LDwOvU/s1600/wip-ac-blossom-dream_31252885297_o.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinhlfuMvv-jXPHX062SCbCd1XMD7Pn3rgoZY5DpbuA_G8tE0qyA-9rolhcpwiV2Og-VZ-0kNyXUjBcBO5YTkok9o-K7vP2nZrPzEa_Aa_2pjUVjfYLOIHk0xN6sWua9mS7GpgM2LDwOvU/s640/wip-ac-blossom-dream_31252885297_o.jpg" width="494" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the next step was applying color and I used a variety of mediums for that: Lindy's Sprays, finnabair metallic paints, perfect pearl metallics for the "Frame" and the girl's face is accentuated with watercolors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlWQ36jK5q3BCDQCHz8y6Klf9jZ122SPSfC6oIHQ3QKf_Fcvxk1xQEbSSa08dnoC8pAhkBbh3-C_kyRSbwjVKySfxzHS8UCjqEqx_5Gr4AntcORuUxF8jN6KFlFBMstfJNctCyQBugJ1o/s1600/wip-ac-blossom-dream_45279728735_o.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlWQ36jK5q3BCDQCHz8y6Klf9jZ122SPSfC6oIHQ3QKf_Fcvxk1xQEbSSa08dnoC8pAhkBbh3-C_kyRSbwjVKySfxzHS8UCjqEqx_5Gr4AntcORuUxF8jN6KFlFBMstfJNctCyQBugJ1o/s640/wip-ac-blossom-dream_45279728735_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because the book page was treated with gesso, it took the watercolor really well. I just applied bits of color to the face for accents and shadows, and made sure you could see the book text shine through it still. I really love how dreamy she looks here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI1uy_uMEsiiHve6gCVh9t_fgWqsiw4WWeKSk29VPUMbMI0UB7V4CipBweYCuC1UJEtPXCjsIY2vTMjafPgTlsAlKb8OssJBBspnL-psfuQGFiPix1Ou881hM19w05Ti61ZUzdgNAAknE/s1600/wip-ac-blossom-dream_46141524382_o.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI1uy_uMEsiiHve6gCVh9t_fgWqsiw4WWeKSk29VPUMbMI0UB7V4CipBweYCuC1UJEtPXCjsIY2vTMjafPgTlsAlKb8OssJBBspnL-psfuQGFiPix1Ou881hM19w05Ti61ZUzdgNAAknE/s640/wip-ac-blossom-dream_46141524382_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now onto adding the flower elements that covers the open spot on the side. Glued them in the middle onto the page so the stand out a little. The color in the flowers also come back in the background of the page. I also stamped a bit of texture and text in the background to have more interest. And decided the bottom part needed to stand out a bit more too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglvPU-DtMR_A3fEmABWXkgRNdhUIuPwGDmRvYMZEBofQzzTbL9Hm3H97B3bxLW68nrpzOS0PrbYo7TyTp6yWn-1PjvcsnpJ6NKPH2gl2Xfz8TyeJN0Jw_fuhoHxT4TaeQHL98AlP-ZnJY/s1600/final-close-up-ac-blossom-dream_46141529092_o.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglvPU-DtMR_A3fEmABWXkgRNdhUIuPwGDmRvYMZEBofQzzTbL9Hm3H97B3bxLW68nrpzOS0PrbYo7TyTp6yWn-1PjvcsnpJ6NKPH2gl2Xfz8TyeJN0Jw_fuhoHxT4TaeQHL98AlP-ZnJY/s640/final-close-up-ac-blossom-dream_46141529092_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So stamped and cut out the word bloom from set 120 and another flower to "ground" it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIErjO6Mie4ZOjwX3ixwI4rMMMC4e6nG0lUkupHWO_mjarsGBa4vD4Klum0lDeVSp9KWrZAV4L7QoAgfcMczaOO3cvQJOHxIex7_VTgi2pcd64tDnCz2FXK2QtGGNgIqf_Q4EWLTZzemI/s1600/final-close-up-ac-blossom-dream_46141550572_o.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIErjO6Mie4ZOjwX3ixwI4rMMMC4e6nG0lUkupHWO_mjarsGBa4vD4Klum0lDeVSp9KWrZAV4L7QoAgfcMczaOO3cvQJOHxIex7_VTgi2pcd64tDnCz2FXK2QtGGNgIqf_Q4EWLTZzemI/s640/final-close-up-ac-blossom-dream_46141550572_o.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a last step I added some white splatters all over the page and created a scribble border with acrylic paint marker. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I absolutely LOVE how this journal page turned out and glad the idea I had in my head worked out like it did :) This page reminds me a lot of sping and it's my second fave season, or well it's a tie actually with autumn. I'm linking this to my friends's challenge <a href="https://art-journal-journey.blogspot.com/2018/12/my-favorite-season-or-tis-season.html" target="_blank">Art Journal Journey with the theme of My fave season. </a> </div>

The weather is getting colder and my fave season has almost ended. When I went for a walk on a beautiful bright autumn day a few weeks ago, I found a gorgeous leaf in beautiful vibrant colors which I decided to take home. I wanted to incorporate it in an art journal page as an ode to my fave season. The leaf is portraying so many fall colors which reminded me of my favorite <a href="https://www.lindysgang.com/collections/sets/products/autumn-leaves-magical-shimmer-powders">Lindy’s Magicals set Autumn Leaves.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It became the starting point of this art journal page. I also wanted to use a couple of my favorite StencilGirl® Products stencils and Viva Las VegaStamp! mixed media stamps. You'll find a list of products used at the end of the post </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
While I was making this page I also had the camera running so you can watch the video tutorial of it here </div>

<b>TIP:</b> when you dry the modeling paste to the touch you can stamp in there to create some fun textures in the paste. Just make sure your stamp is wet (just spray on some water) so the paste doesn’t stick too much on your stamp.</div>

Hi all, thank you for stopping by my blog today. I have a card made with a gorgeous stamp set from AALL & Create which I wanted to share with you today. This gorgeous flowers blooming from the heart is a stamp from set #138 by Olga Heldwein and I used an emboss resist technique. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off by stamping the image with versamark on watercolor paper and I have embossed is with white embossing powder. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The I sprinkled some pigment powder - color Kathrynwheel by Nuvo - and spritzed water over it. You can see the gorgeous color appear and notice how the embossed aria's resist the pigment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added more pigment until I was satisfied with the color and dried with my heat tool, being careful not to over heat the embossed part. </div>

This is the base of my card, which I then trimmed & matted onto black card stock. I love how you can see the color nuances of the powders in the flowers. </div>

Before matting it onto black cardstock I took black soot distress oxide and a blending tool and went around the edges. Then splattered some water and copper distress stain over it. I also enhanced a bit of the flower pattern with a Tombow marker in Merlot to give the image a bit of shading. All the edges are gilded with the bronze distress stain and the sentiment is also from the same set & I white embossed it on black cardstock & adhered with foam tape. </div>

It's a card you can sent to someone to express your heartfelt emotions; to say thanks, to say that you care, to let them know they are loved... all from the bottom of your heart, which then blooms expressively and vibrantly with love.</div>

Hi Everyone, another week has flown by and winter season is breaking through here. As the cold is arriving more fully (as well as my Seasonal Affect Disorder) , I thought I'd share a HAPPY and Bright art journal page made with <a href="https://www.aallandcreate.com/" target="_blank">AALL & Create stamps</a> and <a href="https://www.lindysgang.com/collections/magical-shakers" target="_blank">Lindy's Magical Shakers</a> for some visual warmness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqt9yO0RnpS9-uyDp0ic8jHmwMfmBIVd4rBRMRbw4qKm7NXSmHNTOTUqUKhrKiZJ8q0EArtgEznSvLEretccvoZEhzgVnl7RVZfFzpLG_iDknjysLqL7QA-lgnj2Fl3ujcxTKORH0FQSg/s1600/Lindy%2527s+MS+watercolor.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqt9yO0RnpS9-uyDp0ic8jHmwMfmBIVd4rBRMRbw4qKm7NXSmHNTOTUqUKhrKiZJ8q0EArtgEznSvLEretccvoZEhzgVnl7RVZfFzpLG_iDknjysLqL7QA-lgnj2Fl3ujcxTKORH0FQSg/s640/Lindy%2527s+MS+watercolor.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I created some watercolors with <a href="https://www.lindysgang.com/collections/magical-shakers/products/magical-shaker-10-pack" target="_blank">Lindy's Magical Shakers the 2017 set</a> by sprinkling the powder on my mixing palette and adding water to it. I then stirred the colors thoroughly with the brush to get the pigment & shimmer dissolved in the water. They are such bright and beautiful shimmery colors! Really amazing! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now on to the coloring part. I stamped part of Tracy's large stamp from set 109 with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on watercolor paper. Made sure that the imprint was dry completely before I added color to avoid bleeding. And then I started to add the lush color onto the image until I felt it was done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioCScnAtgVZ8gEa9A5RtH2MOjJRu1oqgq5AAL07Zo7SEaZfNVAc2M_WsnzcWZyQqOtZEJxEHk8J66ZyXD00jBHk4g7J0m6iAyNiUbZqQYyQt7WOB64LXL84d1OvoxwwAzyKcr-ovBoDS0/s1600/wip-happy---24112018_32111080408_o.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="568" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioCScnAtgVZ8gEa9A5RtH2MOjJRu1oqgq5AAL07Zo7SEaZfNVAc2M_WsnzcWZyQqOtZEJxEHk8J66ZyXD00jBHk4g7J0m6iAyNiUbZqQYyQt7WOB64LXL84d1OvoxwwAzyKcr-ovBoDS0/s640/wip-happy---24112018_32111080408_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which was around this point. I added different colors in the petals to have a nice mix from blue to purple going and greens in the bottom. Adding a bit of Black Forest Black at the bottom and stem you'll get a beautiful subtle grey mix that grounds the image. Tip: when you add spatters if your page isn't completely dry, you'll get some soft blending of the colors as you see here in the background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then it was time for some doodling and more stamping. I took a white sakura get pen and doodled in the flower petals & defined the core & stem a bit more. In my collection of AALL & Create stamps I have set 23 from Bipasha Bk which has some lovely text texture stamps and I have used in the background here. From Tracy's set 123 from the recent release I have used the sentiment Be happy and stamped it on the bottom a few times. And in the heart of the flower I just stamped Happy.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After trimming it down I added a border with gelato's and adhered it to my art journal page. These bright and beautiful colors sure do make me very happy!!</div>

Hi all, the weeks go by so quickly! Today I'm sharing my 4th project as guest designer for AALL & Create and I've used a bunch of stamps from the new release and one stencil from the first release ever to create this whimsical looking dream queen in my art journal. Let me tell you a bit how I created her.</div>

The base is Windsor an Newton 300lbs watercolor paper because I'm going to use a lot of mediums on this project. I stamped the face by Katy Paltridge of set 129 with Versamark onyx black ink and the large stamp sets 109 and 110 by Tracy Evans with Kalaeidacolor ink pads in autumn colors over the face in the background for texture.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
At a recent shopping spree I bought the stencil #6 by Autour de Mwa which is from the first AALL & Create release ever. I really wanted to use it for this project to create some grungy texture. I made a mask for the face & then applied gesso & then added the modeling paste through the stencil. I let it dry really well because am going to use some color sprays over it next.</div>

I left the mask on when I applied the <a href="https://www.lindysgang.com/" target="_blank">Lindy's</a> magical home made sprays - I have used colors from the Autumn leaves set, Autumn Maple Crimson and Ponderosa Pines Olive and Shabby Turbine Teal from the Industrial Chic set. After I dried the color sprays I took off the masks and applied gesso to the face. I love how you can see the background texture here.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I went to work with acrylics from Dina Wakley & Thalens Amsterdam. I just applied layers of flesh tones colors mixed with blush colors until I was happy with the result. The lips are covered with a layer of shimmer from the Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So at this point I left the project on my desk for a few days because I didn't quite know how to continue. And then I decided I wanted to create some hair for her and grabbed some more acrylic paints.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I added some dark blue acrylics to give her hair and completely transformed the way she looked as the tones turned into a deep purple to violet where it mixed with the red from Lindy's. I applied gesso over some bits to soften the colors and she looks so different now! It was time for some embellishments and I sprayed some paper flowers with the before mentioned Lindy's colors.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In the center of those flowers I applied a bit of yellow acrylic paint and placed a see through domed sticker over it to give the flowers some dimension. Some gold splatter for finishing touches and the little flower crown I made with Tracy's grungy flower stamp from set 123.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi all, today I am sharing a simple yet effective card made primarily with one stamp and stencil from AALL& Create and autumn colors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The stamp I am using is Growth in numbers #120 by Tracy Evans of which I have stamped the top part where I'll focus on the flower and words. Then I took some distress oxides in autumn colors and stencil #45 digital bubbles by Autour deMwa for background texture created with my blending tool. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the flower part again on a separate piece of cardstock and colored them in & cut them out & popped them up with foam squares. I chose a co-coordinating colors for the words and the flower: Flower petals & Bloom, Stem & Blossom and the background (=soil) & Grow. I've added water spatters to activate the oxide ink and also splattered some Lindy's Turbine Teal home made spray onto the card & gave some accents to the flower & words with it. </div>

To finish the card I have used a dark blue color to frame the card, more water spatters and some texture stamping with the grungy flower from set 123 also by Tracy Evans. I love how the subtle texture of the stencil still shines through. This card was quite easy and simple to make so when you're pressed for time and need a positive & encouraging card to send to someone, perhaps you can give this a go. </div>

If you have been following me over on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MissThundercat.mixedmediaartist" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>, you might have seen my micro journaling project in october coming by. I've posted a daily process video on my Teeny Halloweeny makings through the whole month. This is a collage of the end result of that project. I am honestly amazed that I've made it through another month of daily micro journaling because at some point it was a struggle to keep finding new ways for the theme. This is also the reason why I have switched to a slightly larger size (the Jot Tiny Key-Per) for the last week. You can see all the close up pictures on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/missthundercat/" target="_blank">Instagram feed</a> and see the process video's on my YouTube channel and I've made a playlist of all the video's which you can watch below;</div>

The sketch type stamps by Katy Paltridge has such a wonderful whimsical feel to it. I love using watercolors with them. Above you see the process of getting the color in this young lady done. I'm using Jane Davenport Glitz sea set on Caran d'ache mixed media paper. When The colors were blended to my liking I drew in the hair in the same sketchy feel as the stamp. I trimmed the piece to 6x4 inches and made the card out of it.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I masked the woman and took stencil #39 - lotz of dotz and a blending tool & sponged distress oxide fossilized amber through it. It created the background pattern with beautiful golden tones & makes the front image pop. </span></div>

Today I am sharing a card I have made with wonderful products from <a href="https://www.aallandcreate.com/" target="_blank">AALL & Create</a>. The base is a one layer mixed media card and I've started off on a piece of cardboard where I already had some left over paints on & a light residue of modeling paste through Kassa's stencils. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see the subtle texture which I have highlighted with some Finnabair Opal Magic paints. This was basically a piece of cardboard that I rolled on left over paints decided to see what I could do with it now that it developed that "patina" of paints :) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped some texture on it with Staz-ON Royal Purple and stamp set 109 from Tracy Evans. It is a giant A4 set but you can quite easily cut those 2 images apart and have a bit more flexible use that way. I created a border of texture and then went to work with flowers from another set. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These are flowers from Katy's set 127 and the stamp positioner is a great tool to have to create crisp images in patterns all over your card. These are stamped with Staz-ON Midnight Blue. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted the images to be blurred around the edges so I took a baby wipe and dabbed a bit of staz-on cleaning solution on it and lightly rubbed the edges to move the color & blur the hard lines. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The blurred edges gives it a nice dreamy effect. In the middle I left room for a large flower from Tracy's stamp 120.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've stamped that in with staz on midnight blue and rubbed along the edges of the flower to make the petals look lighter. For highlights I have used a white gel pen. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've matted it and added the sentiment "love grows here" from stamp set 123 by Tracy. The sentiment is heat embossed with white embossing powder on black cardstock. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a card to send to someone to remind them of the importance of self care. Let love grow in your midnight garden so it can bloom during day time too. </div>

This month at <a href="https://www.stencilgirltalk.com/2018/10/art-journal-rooted-strong-by-cheetarah.html" target="_blank">StencilGirl® Talk we share what we feel grateful for</a>. I've made an art journal spread about my home town, Amsterdam. I'm feeling grateful for the roots I have there, the city I've spent the better part of my life in and in connection to my remaining family whom still live there. It's quite a personal spread, but it has so much meaning that I decided I wanted to share this with you here as it helped me worked through processing loss.</div>

Earlier this year in April my father passed away and needless to say it really uprooted a lot in my life. He was my last living parent and with his passing & not having my parental house to go to anymore and living in another city really made think about my connection to my family and my roots. How our parents aren't there to go to anymore and how we as siblings can stay rooted in connection towards each other, going forward. Journaling has been such a big part of my life to process all these feelings and art journaling also helps to get that visual representation out.</div>

This art journal page just naturally came into being when I got my most recent StencilGirl® order with the inclusion of the <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-club-may-2013-s/1977.htm" target="_blank">Encaustics set of Stencils Club May 2013</a>. The tree rings in the large stencil reminded me a lot of the canal rings in Amsterdam. As I placed it over a transit map, over the heart of the city it just clicked into piece.</div>

From the same set I used the roots & the female figure on top of it is the ATC size figure from Pam <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-ATC-Mixup-Carriker-Pam-Carriker-p/l651.htm" target="_blank">Carriker's ATC Mix Up large stencil</a>. She stands so perfectly STRONG on the tree trunk, her roots digging in deep into the soil of her past, which grounds her in the present and supports her in her future. The word strong is from <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/uplifting-words-stencil-carolyn-dube-p/l258.htm" target="_blank">Carolyn Dube's Uplifting Words large stencil</a>.</div>

The Stencil <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-seth-apter-future-p/s214.htm" target="_blank">Past Present Future by Seth Apter</a> was just a perfect addition to the whole sentiment of this art journal page and I used the smaller elements on the stencil for mark making through out the whole page. <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-amsterdam-6-Nathalie-Kalbach-p/s433.htm" target="_blank">Nathalie Kalbach's Amsterdam</a> was an absolute must to this page to add a bit of flair and whimsy.</div>

To finish it off I added a quote "Roots are not in a landscape or a country or a people, they are inside you" from author Isabel Allende. I'm grateful to have grown up in such a dynamic city with my parents and to have build such strong roots that connects me to them in my past, present and future, as they live within me, always.</div>

Today I am sharing a project for <a href="https://www.aallandcreate.com/" target="_blank">AALL&CREATE</a> as part of their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MissThundercat.mixedmediaartist/posts/1987321031328343" target="_blank">guest design team</a> for the coming months. I'm super excited & honored to be part of the amazing team and to be creating with their wonderful stamps designs. You'll see weekly projects from me on the weekend and to kick it off I'm sharing an art journal page in my moleskine pocket water color sketchook. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a long day I like to relax with my sketchbook and watercolors. Having stamps that inspire me to color is very valuable to me because I don't need to worry about a sketch that I need to make myself & get right to the coloring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
When I saw the designs of Tracy Evans and Katy Paltridge I knew they would go well together! In this project I have stamped a female figure of set #129 in combination with the flower of #123 in my Moleskine watercolor sketchbook. A few work in progress pictures: </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am using Jane Davenport Glitz Sea mixed with some of the Neutrals set. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like using stamps in different ways than designed, so I used the flower petals as Faerie wings & the stems as water waves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyehANAL72v0FAU5QNbowLkeEVX43-UYQh1-_u1suH9ZZOFu9_mx6lLWGPsUWxKe5F2F8us-GabllamoRtZ8eo3Tpc8DdKEsc88ltMjONnWSECdfATNcyLSgFKjFw_6fvCLrQyiYrMfi8/s1600/ac-thoughts-and-dreams-Process+4.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyehANAL72v0FAU5QNbowLkeEVX43-UYQh1-_u1suH9ZZOFu9_mx6lLWGPsUWxKe5F2F8us-GabllamoRtZ8eo3Tpc8DdKEsc88ltMjONnWSECdfATNcyLSgFKjFw_6fvCLrQyiYrMfi8/s640/ac-thoughts-and-dreams-Process+4.jpg" width="518" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did color the petal wings with a flower color because I love the contrast of the warm red pink with the blues and lime greens. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHItfzpwCW01YWhNMjY_0BtlZANJY2P9_utHPEFOpO7bJA89LyqPldkoVPSNEZ9_dC0GAStd8e7Bu86gOn3r5m2caX0EHoXRar17hKYzo0rZmvg8pM9jqHELwinTEGt9YULEjwoNglhrc/s1600/ac-thoughts-and-dreams-Process+5.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHItfzpwCW01YWhNMjY_0BtlZANJY2P9_utHPEFOpO7bJA89LyqPldkoVPSNEZ9_dC0GAStd8e7Bu86gOn3r5m2caX0EHoXRar17hKYzo0rZmvg8pM9jqHELwinTEGt9YULEjwoNglhrc/s640/ac-thoughts-and-dreams-Process+5.jpg" width="460" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's very fun to see how the stem is quite effective as water waves! And I love the many blues in the glitz sea palette to give the body of water some color nuances. </div>

Looking at her serene face, I think she is enjoying the stillness in nature, lost in her thoughts and dreams. So I decided to stamp those words in the scene. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also used the grungy flower to create a bit more texture in the background by partially stamping it randomly over the page with lighter colored stamp pads. Some more close up shots of the finished piece. </div>

Today I am sharing a journal spread made with stencils by <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/" target="_blank">StencilGirl Products</a> & Paper Artsy fresco & Tim Holtz distress paints.

Find your magic is made with the <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/uplifting-words-stencil-carolyn-dube-p/l258.htm" target="_blank">uplifting words on Carolyn Dube´s stencil</a> but I made the `your` with an R from another word. This way the stencil is also versatile in creating the words you need!</div>

A collage of my collages I made in september in my micro art journal inside my tiny KeyPer from <a href="http://www.shopjot.com/" target="_blank">Jot</a>. The collages are made with bits and pieces left over from projects. </div>

It's been quiet on the blog, but definitely not quiet art wise. I've been sharing art daily on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/missthundercat/" target="_blank">instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MissThundercat.mixedmediaartist/" target="_blank">facebook</a>, if you want to see what I have been up to lately. </div>
