40 Days of ... Art - Day 15 - Baby Card

Hello,

Today it's baby card time. I love making these big 6 by 8 baby cards.

When I had this new stamp set I almost directly made this card, with graphic 45 good old sport paper in the background.

And off course in the inside the left panel is also decorated, I find it so sad to leave that side blank.

I hope you enjoyed this card.

Have a nice time.

40 Days of ... Art - Day 14 - Encaustic Birthday Cards

Hello,

I couldn't help myself I had to explore the Encaustic a bit more. I wanted to know what it would do if I added stamps to the given.

I like the effects it gives. 

I'll make birthday cards out of those samples. I couldn't fix them together yet, because I don't have varnish and I have to varnish them to protect hem from scratches. Encaustic art is beeswax and is very easily scratched, so I wouldn't trust them to be intact after postal services machine sorting.

But to see what could be the result I adhered some of them with temporary tape.

It wasn't easy pulling of the pictures because those are so glossy and rich in colours and I can't take pictures outside (it is night in Europe) so I do the best I can.

Thank you for reading my blog today and I hope you enjoy seeing the encaustic art as much as I enjoyed making it.

Have a nice time.

40 Days of ... Art - Day 12 - encaustic art 2

Hello,

So I saw that there was a slight issue with my blog and the post I did yesterday was not online, it was still in "concept". So I put it online a couple of minutes today. My apologies if you came looking for the art piece and didn't find something new. But on the other hand you'll get 2 post today.

My post today is also with encaustic art because I so liked to do it yesterday that I had to play with it again today. I didn't had the same vibrant colors than where at disposition in the fair yesterday making it a bit difficult to take in picture but the result is quite nice.

Enjoy your art time.

40 Days of ... Art - Day 10 - G45 mini tray

Hello,

With some leftovers from my Graphic 45 Couture Collection paper I made an altered tray. It is kept fairly simple because I really want to use it. 

To use it I just need to add some epoxy gel or a few codes of clear varnish to protect the paper.

The quote is so nice, it would be an ideal tray for when you want to serve a cup of tea.

 What would you like to see me make? Anyone has requests?

Have a nice weekend.

40 Days of ... Art - Day 09 - Mask

Hello,

Mardi Grass is passed for some days now and yet I'm reverting to a mask today.

It would be perfect for a masked ball. 

I just love these Venetian mask, they are always so feminine an sophisticated.

Have a nice time.
