wow can´t believe how fast May past. But I have been very exited about the new SASP Challege theme.
"The Ravange of time". What could show the time pass better than a watch themself. That is why I have created this Mixed Media Steampunk Watch. I hope you all like it and if you want to see how it is done - just look into the Step by Step Video.
I had immediately an idea how what to create by this amazing
Theme "Eyes Tested" but then in the end I was struggling with the
realization I hope you like the outcome. And the Title of this Project is
"open your Eyes and you can see what Art can do" More details and
step by step can be found on my Blog.
for those of you who are following my blog for some time - they might remember that I am very keen of Faces. I found this amazing Stencils from Stecil Girls Product (www.andreamatus.com). And had immediatelly this Project in mind - cant wait to hear what you think about it.
I have used my Gelli Plate and Americana/DecoArt Arcylic Paint
I have printed the paint on the piece of paper until I was satisfied with the colour.
Then I have been using my totally adorable new Stencil with black paste
On the first one I have then added some treasure Gold, for the second one, instead of using embossing Paste I just used an Sharpie .... see for yourself withone you like more....
I have a confession to make - I do love to create Tags :-)
Even if I have a million Project I still want to try it always goes back that I create a Tags ...
It is like having a storage ful of new stamps and always using the same old one hahaha.
I am so excited to be back in the Blogger world not mention the SASPC Team.
well it hast been a while since I had the honor to create something for the SASPC. Since I had to take some step back in my life for such engagements - but I am back and I was soooo excited ... I totally forgot to make more Step by Step Pictures for the Work in Process description. Ups...
But I will try to recap for you an hope you will enjoy it.
First I have DIE Cut a Tag (Tim Holtz, Alternation) from a Cardboard
Then I got wild and Spayed all of my Glimmer Mister from Tattered Angels and Metal Distress Spray Stain on it.
After everything has been try I used some rub on diamonts, from LaBlanche
Then I put some Ink from the Dylusion ink spay bottle "London blue" into a pipette and let some drops flow top down.
Next step I did use my Memorie Box Stencil and added some fine structure paste in white.
In the meantime I have embossed some black cardstock with my Spellbinders 3D Embossing folder and used treasure gold on it to give the piece a shimmery finish.
Finaly I have added some embellishmet from Ingvild Bolme and a moderate breeze of embossing powder in the colours black and white. By the way to melt the embossing powder you have to hold the heating gun on the backside of your Project (otherwise your powder will just fly away :-))
not
sure how you always awake your Steampunk muse - for me I do like to
look into the nature, or of course WWW but this time I got some of my
inspirations by a movie....
Check it out, .... a key holder in a shape of a heart, Magic, Secret, all alone ???, courage, destiny, adventure.... and more
have fun and enjoy this!

who said altered stuff has always to be dark and brown and so on?
Well, since easter is just around the corner and since I do never have the correct vase to put my
Easter decoration in. I just decided to create it this year by myself. And it has been so much fun!
See for yourself....
Enjoy the step by step processing of this Project :-)
I have added this Project for "Junk in your Trunk Challenge"
Happy crafting,
send you lot´s of love

thank you soooooooo much for your warm welcome - I may have told you already a hundred times but just have to say it again! It really mean a lot to me - THANKS!
If I have learned something over my Sabbatical - then never give up what you love!
And guess what immediatelly I got a wonderful Postcard idea...
Here it comes and just for fun!
By the way, if you like my Cards, Mixed Media Project or what ever I may share with you, and you like to have it - do not hesitate to leave me a note in the Comment field. I am more then happy to send it to you or to swap with you!
Firstly I apologize for my absence, things got so very busy especially in live but also at work that I just
could not find the proper time to keep up with the blog, watching your amazing Projects, commenting and creating my own stuff over the last Year. So I needed a lot of rest to recharge and coming back to "normal". And last but not least beeing a reliablefor DT Member of the SASPC .
But a new Year (2015) has began this absolutely has increased my motivation and my New Year´s pledge to be more creative needs to be fulfilled. I am on fire! :-)
So yes I am back, big time and like to stay active by taking it this time slowly.
Cross fingers, everything goes well.
I just want to let you know that I am still around, even if I am not posting at present.
I am here.
I wish I could be much creative and much more in my craft room - but I need to take it slowely.
so just hang in there - be back soon back again!
I guess it is no longer a secret.... yes I am a huge fan of Benedict Cumberbatch.
Who ever have seen, Stuart: A Life Backwards, Parade’s End, The Last Enemy or not to mention Sherlock will be conviced he is one of the genius talented actor. (and there are so much more to see - since BC is such a busy bee *giggle) Any Character he is playing is so perfectly merging that you never get the impression he is playing - I rather always believe HE is the person... absolutely brilliant... So, Yes Benedict Cumberbatch has Birthday today July 19th!
"The best Birthday wish that you can get for the day is that may you live each moment of your life to be very fullest, without any regrets!"
I do love to share with you some exiting news....
