Our water
At first glance one can think EEEW. It is not too pleasant to look at a bathtub with water and think you are going into it so you an get out clean. But and this is a big but, when you have been without any water in that tap for a time, to see water even of this colour one is extremely grateful.

Digital Scrapbooking Challenge
My plan was to post a something to show I am still around and am still making things.
17 August 2017
One Year MOODAVERSARY week 4-7
Today is the last day of this challenge. I have posted something everyday! For 4 weeks. By Monday I started to feel this is getting a bit too much for me. But I am so happy I continued and finished what I set out to do.
1. To try my hand at mixed media
2. To take part in this challenge
3. To post something everyday.
I have been successful. Some days my tries should rather have been sent to the dustbin. But I added it here specifically to see if there is any change in my attempts and I want to go back and see how I can change what I thought was a fail attempt into something I will like.
As I heard someone said (DeeDee?);
if it is ugly it is not yet finished.
Seeing it is the last day I thought the suitcases fits so well. It is almost like the
end of ones holiday away.
Used a honeycomb stencil and gesso straight on my packaging card.
Stuck single layer of a paper towel down,
wet the water colouring pencils and coloured over the card.
Stamping with a sentiment stamp held in my hand, after the first two
I saw the words has to do with go and rest (not English stamp)
"Happy-accident" it fits in with our suitcase picture.
That gave me the sentiment, part of another sentence.
Made a little cluster and stapled it down.
What I used: Card
Gesso
Watercolour pencil
Punched flower
Die cut butterfly
Book page and card stock
Stamp
Permanent ink

One Year MOODAVERSARY week 4-6
With my choices I ended up having what I am showing today.
Started off layering all sorts of paper scraps, in a few different colours.
Instead of using gesso I used one layer of a facial tissue over it all. When I
tried to stick it down with gel medium it became a huge mess. Huge.
Here I had to leave it a while. Stepping away help with courage to just do.
Coming back I saw the lifted and torn away parts as texture.
Gesso, always to the rescue. After a layer of gesso all looks different.
Next I stapled -not trying gel medium again- a piece of white ricrac.
Back to the water colour pencils. The colours did not look right. Instead off
darkening it I chose to use different colours.
Stuck the flying bird down, giving a bit of a darker outline I got the paper too
wet. I do notlike the water marks on it.
My sentiment: as I tore pages I saw the heading on on of the pages, saw it fits
PERFECTLY here. The numbers that was on the same line I added also
because it just look like it fits.
What I used: Card, paper
Facial tissue
Ribbon
Staples
Gesso
Watercolouring pencils; yellow, two greens, two blues, black

Stuck masking tape, edges (no print) of old book paper down on my card.
Used gesso on a honeycomb stencil, then lightly put gesso over it all.
Using the watercolour pencils I coloured the pink and yellow. The darker
colour is showing through from the paper.
Added a few punched out flowers and coloured that with pencil too.
The writing was lifted from an old book.
A tag that came with something, what I do not remember. The alphabet sticker
is from the same, tied a piece of calico on and glued it all down.
What I used: Masking tape, paper, sellotape
gesso, stencil,
flower punch
Watercolour pencil; pink, yellow,red
calico, old embellishments.

Row four photo one
Started off with the row one photo, made the back ground by layering a few
very thin papers. In the left hand corner is a few scraps from an old Christmas
tag, on top of a part of a green paper doily and yellow lace ribbon stapled down
All covered with gesso.
This time I gave it a white wash using acrylic paint.
then came the black water colour pen, the blue marker to make a few dots.
Not liking the ribbon to look so washed out I coloured over it with my yellow
pencil and left it just like that.
My sentiment was part of a saying from a scrapbook paper, of which I used the rest somewhere else.
Old papers, thin paper, doily, old tag, piece of ribbon
Gesso
Water colour pencil; black, yellow
Scrapbook paper

then I took the yellow watercolour pencil and coloured over all of it with the
edges darker. Sprayed water over using my finger I moved the colour around.
Stamped. Was stuck right there for a while.
Using textured paste added a few dots, coloured it with the same stamp ink.
Tied the ribbon on stuck the 'foot' down and think it is enough.

My inspiration today: Bottom row, fifth photo
It might need something, for now I do not know what therefore it stays as is.
Painted green, using a net packaging to make a pattern in the wet paint.

Butterflies are always an easy way to finish something off,
this time it was not enough.

Wanted to do something with for a few days but kept being stuck at the
calico type colour of the material.
This time I sat down and looked and looked and looked at the photo
until I saw the crosses are pluses.
A thinish layer of gesso, the colour on the card is even coming through.
Thereafter I took the black water colour pen to it, and fiddles over it using a
brush.
Cut old book page edge in the shape of Christmas tree. Somewhat of a fail.
That is lost although I used the white gel pen to follow the outline.
Then I stamped and embossed the leaves
Cut the pluses by hand, edging it with my pencil.
Wrote the sentiment, and pressed the edges of the card stock in a
spilled left over puddle of black.
Thinking about a sentiment all the time I did the above, going from
crosses to plusses leaves and trees.
Then my thought; cross is often to say what is wrong, a plus is an adding onto
and that is what I was doing. (unintended pun)
:)
What I used: Gesso
Fabric paint; black
Old paper
Gel pen, white
Stamp
Embossing powder black
Card stock
Black pen
Water colour pencil; black

One Year MOODAVERSARY week 3-5
This time my inspiration worked backwards.
A piece of paper on my desk with left over paint and
stencil left overs looked like something i could use as a back ground.
When it was stuck I felt it is good enough to only add one-two embellishments.
That is where I looked at the inspiration board,
thought it fit best with the photo of the berries.
What I used: scrap paper with left overs on it
cotton
the same pink foil that was my base paper yesterday
circle punch
Water colour pencil black
Sentiment cam from a meat advertisement

Today in this picture I 'saw' the circles and the darker holes.
Used pink foil paper to cover my card, gesso over it to take the glare off
but still have some shine.
Stuck a few things down to show towards circles then coloured it as
pink as I could.
Thought I succeeded in my attempt, therefore the sentiment.
What I used: Pink foil
Gesso
String, buttons, metal rings
Liquid paint, red
Card stock

Started of with a blue back ground wanting
to only add the yellow horse head. It did not look done.
Added gesso, blue ricrac the black colouring pencil.
Then I looked at the card and the inspiration board, back and forth.
Until the flower punch thought came - seems that is all I when stuck.
The sentiment, normally the last thought for me.
This time the idea came quick, horses run.
The white gel pen gave it the last touches - in my mind
What I used: Gesso,
White acrylic
Liquid paint; yellow blue
Horse head stencil

The paper flower... was lying on the desk and the colours fitted with the card :)
