Hi there, Miranda here with some Christmas inspirations during the hottest time of the year.......but hey just think cool...... Always love to make these cards and fortunately I have a studio where there is air conditioning. I used these beautiful Christmas stamps: Big Bold Background Poinsettia (for the background)and the Gothic angels sheet and the Big Bold Background Christmas Baubles where I cut out some of the baubles. This is one of the cards for a coming workshop, Miracle Christmas with Chocolate Baroque. I worked with Distress Oxydes for the background and colored the decoupaged element using my Tombow markers. lots of gold embossing powder really makes it rich.... Hope you like my take on this Christmas card, next time there will be more...... Thanks for visiting and till next time,
Hello crafty people, Miranda here with a monochromatic inspiration and yes again....a circle......I teached this technique on the Art Specially event 2022 and I can't get enough of playing with it. I worked on Canson Mi-teintes paper which is very suitable for colour and pastel pencils. It is a light weight paper of 160 grs. I have only used a darker shade colour and pastel pencil and also a white one of both. I like this monochromatic look. I also stamped using a matching ink. Thank you for visiting and I am sure there will be more with this technique.

Hello crafty people, Today another blogpost from me........I have been playing with Distress Inks, embossing, big background stamps and the lovely 'Waterlily Mandala set'. I have changed that into a 'special snowflake pendant mandala LOL......why not.....it is a lovely versatile stamp which I have decoupaged and added some 'dangles'....using elements of the same stamp. 'Imagination is limitless' I have made a background using Distress Oxydes and the 'Big bold background Dotty snowflake' which I have stamped in one corner and embossed in another corner with a resist technique. For me this is an unusual color scheme but in the end I liked it...... I have embossed the two script stamps from the 'Gothic Angels set' ( like in my previous post) and also embossed the snowflake edge from the 'Winter edges set' I have embossed the waterlily stamp three times and colored it using Distress inks, applied some Wow sparkles using a glue pen and decoupaged it all. I also embossed and decoupaged the 'crown' stamp from the gothic angels set. You can see it on top of the mandala. And I have added some organza ribbon as a nice touch.... Hope you did like my take on this one......and hope to see you again in the new year! Thanks for watching and always like to read your comments. Have a good ending of the old year and stay safe,

Hello there, Today I want to show you how beautiful it can be to colour on black paper. I first stamped using white ink (my favorite is the white pigment ink of Hero Arts) onto black smooth paper. I have used the beautiful Wildflowers. A bold stamp or silhouette stamp works best for this technique. This is how it looks when I started.......I stamped the wildflowers several times..... Aujourd'hui, je veux vous montrer à quel point il est beau de colorier sur du papier noir. J'ai d'abord imprimé à l'aide d'une encre blanche (ma préféréa est l'encre à pigments blancs de Hero Arts) sur du papier noir lissé. J'ai utilisé les belles fleurs sauvages. Une étampe pleine ou une étampe de silhouette convient le mieux à cette technique. Voici à quoi ça ressemblais quand j'ai commencé ....... J'ai étampé les fleurs sauvages plusieurs fois ..... And than the fun part starts.......and a bit of patience is required.....because coloring with pencils will take a while.....so get in 'Zen' mode! Et puis la partie amusante commence ....... et il faut un peu de patience ..... parce que la coloration au crayon va prendre un certain temps ..... alors passez en mode "Zen"! The first one using mainly purple shades and greens.... adding also some paint spatters..... Le premier utilisant principalement des nuances et des verts violets .... en ajoutant aussi quelques éclaboussures de peinture ..... I slightly changed the colors at the other card........beneath you see a part left side and right side of the entire card. J'ai légèrement changé les couleurs sur l'autre carte ........ dessous, vous voyez une partie à gauche et à droite de la carte. And to show you how versatile this stamp is....another technique using Distress inks, some water spattering and just repeat stamping with different colors and embossing powders. All with just one stamp! And this is one of my favorites but Magenta has many other beautiful silhouette stamps too! Et pour vous montrer à quel point cette étampe est polyvalente… une autre technique utilisant des encres Distress, quelques projections d'eau et répétez simplement l'étampage avec différentes couleurs et poudres à embosser. Tous avec une seule étampe! Et c’est l’une de mes favorites mais Magenta a aussi beaucoup d’autres belles étampes de silhouette! And it's also a great stamp to use the multi coloring embossing technique, just like this......I just love that effect! Et c’est aussi une excellente étampe pour utiliser la technique d'embossage multicolore, juste comme ça ...... j’adore cet effet! ***** Produits Magenta utilisés: Magenta products used: Link to boutique 14.633.P If you are a colorist like me you certainly will enjoy to work with this technique! Thanks for visiting and till next time! Si vous êtes coloriste comme moi, vous apprécierez certainement de travailler avec cette technique! Merci de votre visite et à la prochaine fois!

Hello there, Miranda here...with some inky stencil fun............ I have been playing with several stencils using Distress Oxydes, lovely Magenta stamps and some resist embossing....... I was inspired by Eileen Godwin and her lovely stencil art.......so I took some stencils, brushes and the Distress oxide colors; Shabby Shutters- Pistachio- Peacock feathers and Weathered wood. I started using stencil 1 and let it fade out to the right side of the card, then I took some fragments of stencil 2 and finished it with stencil 3( you can see them in the list of materials below) Then I stamped some fragments of the script stamp using Memento London Fog. Then I stamped the willow branch(one of my favorites) using Versaclair Turquoise/Rain forest. And finished it with the sentiment which is perfect for these 'wicked' times we are all living in....... I stamped and embossed the leaves using clear embossing powder and blended using Distress inks. Then I stamped the clover stamp using Memento bamboo leaves and the geranium leaf using a turquoise. When it was not sticky anymore I embossed a small fragment of the clover using a green glittery embossing powder. Hope you are inspired to take out your stencils and have a play!

Hi there crafty people, It's been a while but here I am again and I am happy to say that I will post every month some Chocolate inspirations. Still love to work with these wonderful stamps. The first time I saw the new A4 sheets ' Celestial' and 'Sacred' I was in awe...... I am always attracted to geometrical shapes and themes like the celestial and mystical. I created a background on black mixed media paper applying some chalky paints with a brayer. So it became a grungy kind of background. The large circle shape is embossed using the Seth Apter Weathered gold embossing powder from Wow. And also the words are embossed with the same powder. I stamped the 2nd geometric shape using a dark brown ink and embossed it using clear gloss embossing powder. Than I used some pastel pencils and a paper stump to accent some parts of the circles. As a finishing touch I sprinkled some metallic, black and white frantage embossing powder and heated it from underneath. The edges are darkened using some distress crayons. I think it has become a great masculine card. I hope you did like my take on this one and next time I will be back with something with a Christmas twist....... Thanks for visiting and till next time,

Hi there, This is my 2nd take with the new beautiful birds from ' a little bird told me'. Just love them as I love birds in general! They have a special meaning in my life.........I've used the lovely Dusky Damask stamp sheet for the background. I have worked on canvas paper and used some fluid inks like Ecoline, like to work with them very much. I am getting very messy but it's nice to let the inks flow and create beautiful patterns. On the left bottom corner I pulled out the ink by spraying my clean stamp with water and hold it onto the paper from a while. When you lift the stamp and blot the paper with a kitchen towel the magic happens...... At the right upper corner I have stamped with the white Ecoline, you could also use the white Distress paint or Dylusions paint. Also made a technique tile and used the triple embossing technique. You can also die cut a shape you like from grunge board or chipboard. First I have blended the tile using Distress ink Peacock feathers. Than I've partially stamped the Dusky Damask fragment on the tile using Chipped Saffire. Than you press the tile into your Versamark pad and emboss it with a clear embossing powder. Repeat the last action 2 times. Ink up your stamp with Versamark and when the 3rd layer is still hot you press your stamp into it, leave for a few seconds and than carefully remove your stamp. Add some perfect pearl powder into the impression. Hope to have inspired you with this one! Thanks for visiting and always enjoy to read your comments, till next time,

All backgrounds were made using stencils/masks and Nuance powders, such a lovely technique! Aujourd'hui j'ai quelques cartes inspirées de l'automne que j'ai fait durant un atelier. Nous avons beaucoup travaillé avec les poudres Nuance, les pochoirs et les masques et plusieurs belles étampes de feuilles... Les voici... Tous les arrières-plans ont été fait en utilisant pochoirs et masques et poudres Nuance, quelle belle technique! and some unfinished backgrounds to show how beautiful this technique is...... et quelques arrière-plans pour vous montrer comme cette technique est belle...
