Complementary colours - purple and yellow

Hello everyone, here is my second project for our September challenge over at the Country View Challenges. Our theme is Complementary Colours and the lovely Evelyn chose this theme, hence she will be your hostess.

My first project was a card with golden circles. For that card I used all the main colours. Here I stayed on the abstract art, on circles actually but instead of all the main colours I chose only the purple and the yellow.

Here is my new creation.

The black background paper was painted with acrylic paint. 

The circles were cut out with the Simon Says Stamp Ring Frame die from Idea-Ology 8x8" Metallic Kraft paper (gold). I also put this paper under the black panel. 

The circles in the circle frames were painted with acrylic paints too.

I also glued some gold dots on the side to complete the composition.

If you have a project with complementary colours, please don't hesitate to join our challenge where you can win a £20 voucher.

Card with circles - complementary colours

Hello everyone, it's already September so we have a new challenge at the Country View Challenges. The theme is Complementary colours and the lovely Evelyn is the hostess of this challenge.

My first project for this theme is a card with the six main complementary colours.

For this card, I used the Simon Says Stamp Circle Thin Frames die set. The frames were covered with Ranger Princess Gold embossing powder and the circles were inked with Ranger Distress inks (originals and oxides too). The top layer was always Oxide ink.

The black background paper was made by me. I blended different black inks onto the surface to achieve a nice even colour. 

Here are some process pictures:

And here is a colour wheel to show you the opposite colours.

The text was from the Stampers Anonymous Crazy Talk stamp set and were heat embossed with Princess Gold embossing powder.

I used the same embossing powder to create a frame for the panel under the black paper.

Baby it's cold outside - Arthur at Christmas time

Thanks to Susan from the Country View Crafts the latest Sizzix/Tim Holtz dies arrived to my home. Luckily, the charming Arthur was among them. So I started to make a card and here is what I made.

The background was painted with Stormy Sky Distress paint and spritzed with Picket Fence paint.

Some of the elements were cut out from colour paper but enhanced with inks, like the branch, the holly leaves. Arthur was cut out from white papers with different textures and shades. I also inked the edges of all parts with Pumice Stone.

What I used:

Silly monster goes on vacation

Hello crafty friends, I'm here with the second inspirational project for the August challenge of the Country View Challenges. The theme is I do like to be beside the seaside and my teamie, the lovely Christine is your hostess.

This happy monster is jumping on his suitcase because at last, he can go on holiday. His destination is one of the islands of the Caribbean sea. He was working a lot all year long and the last months were quite hard for him, you know because of the lockdown and the teleworking. But the time of desperation finished and this is the time to go to a happy place, a nice sandy beach to relax and drinking cocktails.

Now let me see if I can write a tutorial or not.

The globe was covered with Liquid Platinum embossing powder and I put a paper behind which was inked with blue Distress inks (oxides and originals).

The luggage was inked with Mustard Seed Distress ink and spritzed with water. In the end, I smeared Micro Glaze onto the coloured surface to seal them and to give the paper an interesting texture.

The silly monster and the background of the tiny island were coloured with Distress paints. The palm tree and the island were coloured with Distress markers. 

For my favourite monster, (really, from the silly monsters he is my favourite character) I created swimming trunks by cutting off the upper body and the legs of the monster.

What I used:

Sizzix Thinlits die, Alphanumeric Tiny Type Lower by Tim Holtz

Sizzix Thinlits die, Silly Monster by Tim Holtz

Sizzix Thinlits die, Globe by Tim Holtz

Sizzix Thinlits die, Tiny Globe by Tim Holtz

Framed beach scene

I have made this framed beach scene for our August challenge. The theme was chosen by the lovely Christine aka CraftyField and it's called I do like to be beside the seaside.

For this project, I got the inspiration from one of my earlier cards. You can find it here. 

Here is my tutorial. 

I cut out a rectangle, the exact same size which fits in the frame, and then another one. The second one was torn by hand to create the beach. This second one was also covered with Ranger, Grit-Paste. When it was dry, I painted with DecoArt Americana Buttermilk paint, then spritzed with Burnt Umber.

For making the beach hut, I used only one side of the Village Dwelling house. And I cut this out from corrugated cardboard.

I painted the house white and then I let it dry.

For the little doorknob, I used this part of the Robotic die set.

The door, the roof and the tree trunk were cut out from kraft paper but I inked the edges with Vintage Photo.

The leaves of the palm tree were inked with Distress inks (Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint). Then I smeared Micro Glaze onto the surface. 

What I used:

Sizzix Bigz die, Village Surf Shack by Tim Holtz

Sizzix Thinlits die, Village Dwelling by Tim Holtz

Sizzix Thinlits die, Tropical by Tim Holtz

Sizzix Thinlits die, Scarecrow by Tim Holtz

Sizzix Thinlits die, Robotic by Tim Holtz
