DT Work: Tattered Angels and Pink Paislee Part III

Alice shot this photo of my hands at the workshops in Israel – LOL – I guess this will never change ;)

Alice hat dieses Photo bei den Workshops in Israel von meinen Händen geknipst- LOL – Ich nehme mal an dieser Anblick während eines Workshops wird sich niemals ändern ;)

*Show me your Hands!*

Supplies: Pink Paislee Bayberry Collection and 365 Degrees Collection and Rub Ons, Tattered Angels: Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Screen, Glimmer Chalkboard and Glimmer Glass

huge hugs!

    Starkes Layout und Deine Hände kenne ich ja bereits auf diese Art und Weise :)
    Das Papier mit dem Du arbeiten durftest gefällt mir sehr, aber auch Deine dazu erstellte rechte Hälfte des Layouts. Ich konnte mich immer noch nicht dazu durchringen, mir Glimmer Mist zu kaufen, muss dies aber endlich mal machen und einiges damit gestalten.

    LG,

Layout: These Hands

I love this photo of my beloved Aunt Margot’s hands. I also used a handwritten letter of her and included it as part of the layout. And isn’t it awesome how you can create a nice background with just white Cardstock and some Tattered Angels Products :)

Ich liebe dieses Photo der Hände meiner geliebten Tante Margot. Ich habe zudem einen handgeschriebenen Brief von ihr in das Layout eingefügt.  Und ist es nicht genial wie man nur mit einem weißen Cardstock und ein paar Tattered Angels Produkten einen schönen Hintergrund erstellen kann :)

*These Hands*

Journaling: These hands write beautiful letters, touching my cheeks and “talk”! I love these hands – they are yours! Aunt Margot July 2009

Supplies: Prism Cardstock, Tattered Angels Stencil, TA Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Glam. Rainbow Ink pad, TA Swirl Stamp, White Crepe Paper, Doily, Crepe paper by TA and Heidi Swapp Chipboard Letters, TA Chipboard Heart, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3 L, Faber Castell Foil Pen

 

I sprayed over a heart stencil with Glimmer Mist and then applied Glimmer Glam.  I did the same with the chipboard Heart and the piece of handwritten card. I also sprayed the doily and the TA Crepepaper. I cut a piece of white crepe paper and sprayed it with Glimmer Mist and then applied it behind in ruffles behind the chipboard heart. Stamped randomly with the Rainbow Ink and a Swirl stamp.

 

Huge hugs :)

Altered Art with eMOTions by Cuchy

Wow – Cuchy did it again and wowed me – she send me this amazing pendant using my star stamp – my goodness I love this so much!

Wow- Cuchy hats schon wieder getan und mich umgehen – sie hat mir diesen genialen Anhänger kreiert mit meinem Stern-Stempel geschickt – mannomann – ich liebe diesen Anhänger!

*Dream Pendant by Cuchy*

Here is what she wrote:

“It’s a piece of stampbord that I inked with distress inks. Then I stamped one of your stamps and scratched some of the accents. I then painted the stars edges with cosmic shimmer and gave the whole piece a coat of clear and brightz UTEE.

Das Stempelset, das sie benutzt hat – the stampset she used Rêves

Thanks for sharing Cuchy- you are an amazing artist!

Danke fürs Zeigen Cuchy – Du bist eine wahre Künstlerin!

Layout: Fun in the Park

Something different…simple..well- LOL – for me and on 12 x 12 :)

Etwas anderes …einfach…na ja für mich – LOL – und 12 x 12 :)

*Fun in the Park*

next to the pictures it says- fake rock climbing, fake rock touching, fake ACME Rock, fake album cover

I also used the NationalPark Magazine-I loved the drawing and I thought it is pretty alone with not much other stuff.
Stamped with bubblewrap to tie the elements together, so it is not floating.

Layout: I create therefore I am

Just for fun – using up some snippets , trying things :)

Einfach nur so aus Spaß – ein paar Reste verwertend und neue Dinge ausprobierend :)

*I Create Therefore I am*

Journaling: I never thought of myself as a creative person. I liked art in school and had ok results but never felt this was a path for me. I chose the “non-creative” way for my life. Only in the last couple years I allowed myself to be more creative, embrace it – use it as an outlet and I have become a so much better person. It calms me down and makes me happy to be in my studio and let my hands do what they want. I’m lucky to find this out – I create – therefore I am :)

Supplies: Scraps of papers for example: KI-Company, Prima, Rose Moka, Graphic 45, Basic Grey, Autumn Leaves, Old postcard, pieces of doilies, Glimmer Mist, Golden Medium, Fabric, vintage lace, Tattered Angels Stencils, Rose Moka Stickers, Prima Centers, Quote-tag for books, Hambly transparent Stickerstripes


Techniques: I applied little – hand ripped pieces of scraps with a palette knife and golden medium to  a piece of cardstock. I used a stencil and sprayed over it with  Glimmer Mist to tie everything together. For the same purpose I sewed some crazy pattern over. I then glued down some of the strips vertically and  horizontal. I misted the Quote Tag – which I have from a book store and applied my journaling. I rolled fabric and old lace to a flower on some old music sheet paper and then misted this too.

Have a creative day :)
