Creative JumpStart 2013 Last post.

Hi Guys,

I'm sooooo sorry I haven't posted earlier. There's a lot going on at the moment. It's a bit too early for me to blog about that yet, I will when I feel I've sorted it all out (in my head at least :))
First I'll show you all my progress on the last tutorials in Creative Jumpstart 2013. The video's are still available on Natalie's blog.

Number 32 is a tutorial from Nathalie about PanPastels:


The stamps are from Hero Arts

Number 33 is a tutorial from Dina Wakley. She shows a few techniques, one is how to use stamps on tissuepaper. I really loved this and my result is quite "grungie" and will make a perfect background.

most of the stamps are made by Paperartsy from the hotpick series. The background rainbow color is made with Neocolor II from Caran d'Ache)

After I had lot's of fun with that page I recieved a parcel with some sticky back canvas I needed for CJS number 22 with Claudine Hellmuth. I've used some of her techniques and with the last one I just played around.

All four a soo different.. I love it.

Lesson 35 was made by Nathalie also and soooooooo much fun. She called it Gesso fun and that's just what it is!


Festina Lente = Hurry slowly
I've used Gesso (duh) dylusions blue and Neocolor II from Caran d'Ache. They are one of my favourites, I only have 15 colors but the possibilities are endless. ( still I'm saving for a bigger box, Í'll just use this box for traveling)
 

Then there were some give aways and tutorials with materials I don't have or techniques I already knew.
So the next one I made was number 41 made by Nathalie, again :)
In this tutorial she used different kinds of tape, the result is stunning. I've used tissue tape from two different brands and some homemade tissue tape, some sticky back canvas cuts and some papertape from Leukopor. It's used for bandages (I'm allergic to all other kinds of sticky tapes and bandages). Leukopos is the official brand here but there are cheaper ones. (I've found, in my eyes, the same material by Kruidvat (dutch drug store).
The best part of the papertape is 1. that you can remove it afterwards and 2 that you can winkle it up and gives you great texture.

I've use my other favourite coloring suply for this one: Inktense blocks from Derwent.

So the last CJS tutorial I've made is number 42 by Ronda Palazzari. A tutorial with templates and watersolubles. I've used my trusted Neocolor II again.

Soooo my sketchbook isn't full yet...so I will be roaming Youtube to find some great other techniques. I've set my eyes on some technique with alcohol, I will be playing with that one this week and show you guys the result next week.

Oh last but not least I've made a fun index for the Creative Jumpstart:

Soo that's it. I've still some fun items to show from last month. I will post again soon I promise.

Love Susan

Birthday Cards / Verjaardagskaarten



Card 1 / Kaart 1

With Darkroom door Wordstamp Birthday stamp. I used my Derwent Inktense blocks to color the stamp, and stamped it on wet paper. (I used  the mini mister from ranger to wet the paper) after the first print I moistened the stamp with the mini mister, 2 sprays and printed a second one on dry paper. That worked really wel.
I used some inchies I made before (also from Darkroom door) and used the vintage photo Distess ink to make the paper look older, a strip of left over paper which I ponsded with the ribbon pons from Fiskars. A bit of organza ribbon and Ready!
Gemaakt met de Bithday stempel van Darkroom door. Ik heb Derwent Inktense Blocks gebruikt om de kleuren op de stempel te zetten en deze heb ik afgedrukt op vochtig papier. (Ik gebruik de mini mister spray van Ranger om het papier vochtig te maken) na de eeste afdruk heb ik de stempel zelf vochtig maakt met 2 prays van de mini mister en heb de stempel op droog papier voor een tweede keer afgedrukt. Ging erg goed!
Verder heb ik een paar inchies gebruikt die ik eerder had gemaakt en vintage photo Distress inkt om het papier ouder te laten lijken. Een strookje overgebleven papier geponsd met de ribbon pons van Fiskars en daar wat gevlochten organzalint doorheen gewerkt en Klaar!

Card 2 / Kaart 2

This card is based on a Thank Your card made by StampingMathilda. To ink my stamp I used the Inktense Blocks from Derwent. Same technique I used for card 1. Only I made a print with the inchies stamp on top of the seconds print with the word stamp. So thats why you see the green letters in the inchies. I used the vintage photo distress ink  for the paper with the words and on the outline of the green paper from the inchies. So they would stand out more. The green papier from the inchies and the green paper with the little white flowers comes from the paper pad: out of print made by BasicGrey.
Deze kaart is gebaseerd op een Bedankt kaart gemaakt door StampingMathilda. Voor de afdruk heb ik gebruik gemaakt van de Inktense Blocks van Derwent. Ik heb dezelfde techniek gebruikt als bij kaart 1, alleen heb ik bovenop de 2e afdruk met de woordstempel een afdruk van de inchies gemaakt met Distress Vintage photo inkt. Daardoor zie je de groene letters op de achtergrond. Ook de randen heb ik met Distress Vintage photo inkt bewerkt. Bij de groene randen rondom de inchies heb ik vooral de zijkanten goed geinkt zodat ze beter zouden opvallen. De groene randen rondom de inchies en het groene papier met de witte bloemetjes komen uit de paperpad: out of print gemaakt door BasicGrey
