Love history and love vintage!

I just love history and vintage, so this spread is really not a surprise. I have all this lovely glitter stuff that is such a trend nowadays so I went all the way using it. I started by gessoing my pages and gluing tissue tape in the middle. Then I used matte medium to glue down torn pieces of an old book after which I added a layer of transparent gesso. I hoped that three layers would be enough to stop the soaking of this more than horrible paper in the small Dylusions art journal, and so it was. Then I sprayed Dylusions Polished Jade in combination with Lindy's Stamp Gang Gossamer Gold onto my spread, and what a gorgeous combination that turned out to be. Love the depth of the green against the brown gold.
The vintage photo I downloaded from the Internet as a free download. I stamped some vintage images on the background of the spread and then coloured some funny fiber stuff with Distress Stain Gathered Twigs and Tea Dye. The strips of paper were leftovers which I tore and distressed with Walnut Stain. I used a home rusted paperclip to hold them together. At the bottom right side of the photograph I added a round metal embellishment which I also rusted. In the middle I used some gel medium and added green micro beads. About halfway the drying process I formed it into a pearl shape with my fingers. Love the effect.
At the top of the strips I added Glass Glitter by Finnabair, and I just found these glittery 'needles' in all sorts of colours. Love them and I used gel medium again to glue them down.
Again a metal embellishment, but I took this picture to show you the gorgeous shimmer of the Gpssamer Gold on this spread in combination with that deep green. The pictures really don't do it justice, it's much prettier in reality.
Now I just have to show you a close up of this brilliant stamp I gave myself for Christmas; it's by Lost Coast, and I used Antique Copper embossing powder to stamp it. On top I added copper mica flakes.
And here's my little tag with journaling on it. 

I do hope you enjoyed my spread. Wishing you all a brilliant, happy, healthy and creative 2015!!
Hugs Frea

Weekend has come and gone. On the upside, I got some crafting done!!

    
And here it is, my spread.
I started out with Fresco Finish paints for the background and used mat medium to glue down some material in the corners. I emphasized the structure by rubbing Inca Gold  Hematite onto the fabric. Then I used Golden Molding Poaste through a stencil and after drying coloured it with Pan Pastel Turqoise. I also added shading with a grey Pan Pastel.
I stamped a little fairy and coloured her wings with Daler Rowney Pearlescent ink and the bubble on which she's sitting with Glimmer Mist Pearl.
In the same stamp set were these scrolls which I stamped with Indigo Blue Flitter glue and added gilding flakes. The 'Fairy dust' was stamped and embossed with gold embossing powder. And then I did some distresssing with Black Soot Distressing ink.
I do hope you like my spread; I thouroughly enjoyed making it. Have a great week!! Hugs Frea

Wacky? Me?? And that would be a problem because ...... ??

I started this spread with my brandnew Dylusions Pommegranate Seed. Love the colour but it's a little dark for me so I diluted it with about 50% water. The colour then turns slightly purple. I combined it with a pink glimmer spray by Avec. Then I sprayed some Dylusions white through a stencil. I used Raspberry Silks through a burlap stemcil to add texture to the background. The large letters are stickers and I embossed them with Lindy's Stamp Gang embossing powder Royal Burgundy Blu. I used some Stampers Anonymous stamps in the background.
I added purple Viva 3D texture paste through a heart stencil and a purple Inktense pencil to add some shading to the hearts.
 Now she does look pretty wacky doesn't she?? I stamped her onto the background, then stamped her on Copic paper en coloured her in with my Copic markers. She too had some shading added to her with my purple Inktense pencil.
The rest of the text was handwritten by me with a black permanent marker. I added some washi tape here and there and distressed the edges of the spread with Royal Purple Stazon.
So, another one done. Hope you like this ons. It's very stormy here in the Netherlands, so I think my hobbyroom is the space to be right now. Hugs Frea

Journey, Time, Fly; Life Moments...

This spread I made in my selfmade Donna Downey journal. I started by covering the pages with transparant geso since I knew I would be using inks en sprays. I added some modeling paste through a stencil to create texture and with acrylic ink and another I added some more interest to the background. Then I glued down some frayed peaces of stamped linen. These tags I used are by Ephemera's garden; all you have to do is print them out in the size you want them. All the tags used on this spread are from one set.If you look at that blue green tag you will see a mystical kind of creature; I really like this design!
Here you can see the other side of the spread with the inclusion flipped over.
I sprayed the background with Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays Steampunk Sepia and Turbine Teal. Love the shimmer and the way these inks dry. After drying a made some splatters with Steeampunk Sepia to give it some more texture.
I glued them down on cardstock to give them some solidity since printer paper is quite thin. I then distressed the edges with a paper distresser and added D.I. Walnut Stain.
Here is a detailpicture which shows the shimmer of the paints and the texture of the modeling paste.
Here you can see what the effect is of the drops of the spray after letting the first layer dry.
The textstamps are by Stampers Anonymous, and the Memories stamp is a really old stamp I've had for ages by Inkadinkado. Hope you enjoyed my spread. Have a great Sunday! Hugs Frea

It's October, and autumn is just around the corner.

Hello bloggers, it's October already, and summer has come and gone. However, love the colours that autumn brings, so my Obtober calendar page is filled with those lush warm colours.
I used Distress Stains in Gathered Twigs, Tea Dye, Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, Shabby Shutters as well as Lemon Zest Dylusion spray on an aquarel background. After drying I cut out the leaves with a Cheery Lynn stencil. Love the way they cut and make the vains in the leaves. 
The background was made with Distress Inks applied with a blending tool on a gessoed background. I stamped T.H. leaves with an ochre embossing powder, the letters for the month and year were cut with a Sizzlit alphabet set called Bozo.
 I also stamped some skeleton leaves, had this stamp for ages and really don't know the make.
 I loves making the leaves, but I'll admit, I hated gluing them down LOL! What a heck of a job! Never doing that again haha!
Have a great month, hugs Frea

Do you love Halloween too?? I do, especially this one, the vintage way!

I made this spread in my Round Robin album again. Love that side of it, it's just large enough but not that large that you sometimes don't know how to fill the pages. Anyhow, I get some lovely printables each week from Ephemera's garden which I really really love, and this weer there were these gorgeous vintage tags, and I couldn't wait to get started with them. I printed them, glued them to cardstock and distressed them. I just love Halloween, but here in the Netherlands it's not really celebrated. These vintage tags have this wonderful atmosphere and I did my best to have that feeling in my spread. Quite happy on how it turned out. I started with a sheet of Prima paper for a background and added gesso on part of it, followed by some Viva Decor Crackle Paste through a stencil.
Then I sprayed some LSG Gossamer Gold spray on the crackle and it turned out gorgeous. Love love love the effect!
My friend Astrid gave me some gauze like stuff, very hard and sturdy but when wetted you can sort of pull it apart. So I coloured it with Distress Stains in browns and oranges.So this is how the spread turned out.
I added glass glitter in copper colour and some orange beads here and there with gel medium. The lace was coloured with black Dylusions. As a final touch I added some LSG Fuzzy Navel Peach drippage and splatters to gett some orange in there.

I hope you like my Halloween page. Have a great week, hugs Frea

When was the last time you counted your blessings?

I'm on a roll here! Trying to finish te last pages in my Round Robin journal so I can pimp the cover! That would be my 2nd journal ever to get finished. The page was inspired by France Papillon, a great mixed media artist. I used the lyrics of the Crosby, Stilss, Nash & Young song 'Our House'. Slightly altered the text though, since we don't have cats but two dogs it goes: 'with two dogs in the yard....'!
The houses were made with Prima resist papers, coloured with Distress Stains and Dylusions. Those work just great together! I drew the doors and windows on with a permanent marker and made the windows yellow with a Pitt Pen.
On my T.H. tissuepaper background I smeared some golden en metallic green paints as well as some white gesso.
Hope you like it, have a great Sunday, hugs Frea

Just a little spread.

I made this spread in my Round Robin album; I had some leftover gel medium and used it through a stencil making the circles. Then I used some home made glimmer sprays to spray the background, the gel medium works as a resist.
Then I stamped the three birds and the shrine like stamps with the script with Ranger Archival ink Aquamarine. I added Charcoal around the birds to give them some depth.
I took out some gel medium and mixed it up with LSG Magicals, Ponderosa Pine Needles ad Bachelor Button Blue and used it through a TCW circle stencil. After drying it, I took some gesso and applied it with my fingers using the same stencil in exactly the same place.
With soft grey ink I stamped some script in the background. Then I used LSG embossing powder Morning Glory Azure to stamp the birdcage and Oakleaf Olive for the small birds. Finally I distressed the edges with Bundled Sage Distress ink.
I hope you enjoyed my little spread and the steps I described to make it. Have a great week, hugs Frea

My grandmother when she was young, what a lovely picture!

I found this ancient picture of my grandmother when she was young in a box with old pictures in the attic, and knew I had to do a spread with it. I did make a copy first because I didn't want to use the original.
So this is how the spread turned out. I started with Distress Paints Antique Linen and Tarnished Brass, which turned out much more yellow than I expected. Then I took a stencil and Distress Paint Walnut Stain and Gathered Twigs and made the Fisbones. I used a Kaisercraft stamp and Stazon Orange Zest and made the random smudges on the background. I stamped the double squares with a stamp and Metallic Copper acrylic paint amd here and there I stamped a sewing pattern with a mini Prima stamp. Then I took out Viva Rusty Paper paint and made the butterflies with a TCW stencil.
While that was drying I distressed some strips of paper with an edge distresser and Distress Ink Walnut Stain. I took some plaster bandage and sprayed Dylusions Chocolate and Squeezed Orange over it and let it dry. After drying I frayed the edges, layered strips and bandage and did some stitching on my sewing machine. The same proces was repeated with the strip and cards on the right page. On each set I added a home rusted paperclip.
On some spots I used gel medium and golden microbeads, copper crushed glass and copper mica.
Here's a close up of the Rusty Paper butterflies. The other butterflies are by K & Company.
 I hope you enjoyed my spread and the description on how it was made. Have a great week, hugs Frea

A new spread in my Donna Downey A.J. using new stuff from the Art Specially Event.

Last Saturday me and two of my friends went to the Art Specially Event in Nijkerk (Netherlands), which is all about stamping and crafting. We had a blast en spent way too much money (don't tell our hubbies).
Anyhow, yesterday I got the chance to get playing and this is the result.
Now the background was made with an accident: I knocked an open bottle of Lindy's Stamp Gang spray over and mopped a lot of it up with my Art Journal. That's the green you're seeing. I added Distress Ink Chipped Saphire all around and found the combination surprisingly beautiful.
The dots are made with my brandnew TCW stencil and gold coloured texture paste by Solo Goya, a German brand which I bought when on holiday in Germany. I haven't seen the band anywhere else thought, but just love the stuff. The text stamp was a gift at the Art Specially Event, and I love it!
This is an Indigo Blue stamp which my friend Annika bought and kindly lent to me. I put Memento blue in the middle en the outside of the stamp was done with Indigo Blue Mega-Flakes in the colour Morris Dance. Love the effect!!
I used a script stamp in the backgroud with green Memento ink and stamped some Tim Holtz butterflies with a darkblue embossing powder. To finish the spread I distressed the edges, again with Chipped Saphire Ditress Ink.
Hope you like the pages, I sure enjoyed playing. Have a great week, hugs Frea

One day, Alice came to a fork in the road.......

This spread I made for the Round Robin I have entered, and so is going on a trip to the next Round Robin member. The owner of this Journal is an Alice in Wonderland lover, and since I had these gorgeous Make it Crafty digital stamps, they just had to go on this spread. I sprayed some Goosebumps on the background and then coloured with dylusions, hence the white spots.
Alice and the Cheshire Cat were printed on watercolour paper. I coloured Alice partly with Distress Inks and also with Dylusions. The mushrooms were all coloured with Dylusions.
The Cheshire Cat was coloured entirely with Dylusions. The pipes he's sitting on with Distress Inks. I wanted his eyes to really pop, so I gave them some Glossy Accents. I used Perfect Pearls Gold, mixed with water to paint in all the valves and stuff. The plants at the bottom were stamped with a Stampotique stamp.
Here you can see the two pages of the spread beside each other. 

















Hope you enjoyed this one. I think it looks so cheerful with the bright colours. Have a great weekend everyone! Hugs Frea

Round Robin Spread

This spread I made in the Round Robin Art Journal of Karin. I started with Some blue acrylics mixed with an Acrylic Glazing Medium and a Crafter's Workshop stencil called Mini Mayan Calendar.
I then sprayed the background with Lindy's Stamp Gang Moon Shadow spray and added some Distress Stain.
I coloured two Stampotique stamps with my trusted Copic Markers, cut them out and coloured the edges with a black Copic marker. To make sure they do not look like the're floating in air, I put some washi tape under their feet.
The quote was typed on my old trusted typewriter and I just love it's vintage look. I enhanced that by distressing the edges and using Distress ink Walnut Stain. I used some leftover strips of design paper which I stitched with my sewing machine, and then added a strip of plaster gauze which I coloured with Distress Stain.
Here's a close up of the circle made with the stencil. When drying the paint and glaze started bubbling which was a happy accident because I loved the effect and the way the spray collected in the indentations.
I hope you like my spread, I must admit I was pretty happy with it (blush). I'm now off finding challenges. If you want to know what supplies I used, check out the supply list I added. Click on the product and it will take you directly to a webshop that carries that particular item.
Have a great week, hugs Frea
