and more flowers!


Flowers!

How about flowers? Lots of flowers? The Darkroom Door unmounted set has some beautiful flowers on it! I stamped some, masked some and stamped some more! And the verse goes wonderful with it: "All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today"
Did I mention I love flowers?

Bloemen, heel veel bloemen! De Darkroom Door unmounted stempellap heeft er heel veel. Ik heb er een paar gestempeld, toen gemaskerd en daarna nog meer gestempeld! En de quote past er prima bij! "All the Flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today"
Zei ik al dat ik van bloemen hou?

Resist medium

I played some with resist mediums. This purple atc has the weed (Sheperd's Purse) stamped with Teykol. Then I added the color to the background and stamped the weed again with the Adirondack ink (wild plum)

This atc has little flowers stamped with Acrylic Paint Dabber snowcap. I think the effect isn't that strong because I tried to spray a mix (with minimister) of Distress tattered rose and perfect pearls gold over it. Tattered Rose is just too light a color to accent the white resist flowers in the background. I stamped some extra flowers with colorbox copper

This is a card with big flowers, also with acrylic paint dabber snowcap. Sprayed with a mix of cranberry and perfect pearls gold from the minimister. Cranberry is a strong enough color to really show the big white flowers in the background. Added big flowers stamped with Fired Brick distress ink.
I think I like Teykol best as a resist medium. And I have to remember to use strong colors for a better effect.

new stamps, love it!

I love new stamps, don't you? I always get inspiration with new stamps in my drawer. These new stamps are Darkroom Door (full bloom 2) and Chapel Roads (Thistle). I chose these also because of the georgeous quote's that go with them. You can do so much with them. Here are just two expamples I made today:

Ik hou van nieuwe stempels. Dan krijg ik altijd zoveel inspiratie. Alle technieken komen weer uit de kast. Deze nieuwe stempels zijn van Darkroom Door (Full Bloom 2) en Chapel Road (Thistle). Voornamelijk ook gekozen om de leuke quote's die erbij zitten! Hier zijn twee voorbeelden die ik vandaag heb gemaakt:

Tag

Tomorrow we go sailing with friends. It's promising to be a beautiful day tomorrow. Sunny and light winds. We always take a little something with us. You can't bring flowers when you go sailing so we will bring a bottle with us. Off course I found a solution for the missing flowers!

Morgen gaan we met vrienden mee op hun zeilboot. En het wordt mooi weer, dus dat beloofd een heerlijke dag te worden. We nemen ook altijd een flesje mee. Natuurlijk moet daar gewoon een leuke tag aan! Met bloemen kan je niet aankomen als je gaat zeilen, maar daar heb ik toch iets op gevonden!

I am too tired to put the explanation here. I promise to blog that on monday!

Ik ben te moe om hier de uitleg nog te plaatsen. Dat doe ik maandag, beloofd!

explanation (uitleg):

background: adirondack paint dabber Juniper, big flower (Darkroom Door) embossed with copper, stamped background flowers (Darkroom DOor) with frostwhite and adirondack lettuce. Little flower stamped with Lettuce and embellished with a little bit of gold stickles. Distress Walnut Stain on the edge of the tag en the edges of the little flowers.

hugs,
Linda
