Hi stampers!

This weekend I spent last saturday

There were over 100 ladies in different ages

making contributions to four different challenges.

It were demos, lotteries, good food and

really nice company around the table!

This is what I managed to do during the day:

joing the challenge, though it was a very

nice sketch to work with!)

***

My way of colouring...

2011-10-25T19:24:00.007+01:00

Hi stampers!

Today I have a new distress ink

tutorial for you.

I made it for The Magnolia Day and

showed it at my workshop.

You can follow how I colour this new

Tilda from Sweet Christmas collection.

There is som many different ways of

colouring with distress ink reinkers.

This is just my way and as I love to read

about how other work with different

medias I hope you will enjoy this!

Here I have stamped the same image four times

so you can see how I work through the process

of colouring with Distress ink reinkers.

The ink I use is Staz on Timber brown

as you see in the end of this tutorial.

The paper is Montval Canson 300 gram.

Brushes are Italeri 00, 000.

To the left: I start colouring.

Skin: tattered rose mixed with vintage photo.

I always start with the face/skin as this is

the most difficult part to do, for me that is.

I add distress ink firmly in the edges, rince the brush

in water and work with smooth hand and

circle movements towards the center of the

face leaving a brighter area in the middle.

I make the skin by putting on colour

2-3 times in this first step. It have to

dry a little in between.

Dress/socks: Victorian velvet mixed with

dusty concord and aged mahogny.

Hair: Antique Linen.

To the right: I have used the same mix of colours

for the dress and added it in the edges

for more and deeper shadows.

Here you can see how I try to create shadows in

the edges of the image.

Here you can see the first step with

antiqe linen for the blond hair.

I have now added very little walnut stain

mixed with a big drop of water.

I still want her to be blond.

At the third image you can see how I made

the colour darker to create shadows.

Dress/socks: I have used the same mix as

before and just added weathered wood

for the edges. I try to only add this dark

colour to the edges to keep the bright

look in the middle.

Cheeks: Aged mahogny in a big drop

af water (I make it very light).

Line of hearts: Aged mahogny mixed with black sooth.

Around the image I have used antique linen,

which make it looks like a warm loving light

behind/around cute Tilda.

I have added a white line to the socks to make it

look like highlights. I use the pen: Inkessentials white.

Here you can see how I have added walnut

stain a second time to Tildas hair.

I use this ink for colouring with distress ink reinkers.

It´s a very beatiful brown tone, not to red as some

brown inkpads are in my oppinion.

I prefer this brown inkpad instead of black ink.

Thanks for visiting me!

Love & Light

TOMIC challenge #4!

2011-06-29T21:39:00.000+01:00

Hi!

I promised to be back with my second

card for inspiration for TOMICS

challenge this week.

Are you ready? I have several
pictures to share tonight.

Let´s go then!

Here is the card:

This week we challenge you at TOMIC
to use "Shimmer and pearls".

I have used MermaidTilda from Magnolia.

I added some shimmer, both

Iridescent medium and stickles and above

that I added crackle accent from Ranger.

I really like how it turned out,

it looks like fishshell!

I have used cheesecloth and crackle paint.

I wanted it to look like fishnet around the "hole"

and I am pretty happy with the result.

This embellishment is something I have made myself

out of a special clay. I stamped a text from Magnolia

in the butterflyshape ages ago and now it was

perfect on this card!

Here is more handmade paperflowers that I am

practicing to make now.

I have used oakleaves from QK and then

embossed them in CB folder to make them

look like seaweed.

Thanks for visiting my blog and please stop by

at TOMIC to see the TOP 5 from

last week challenge!
