I haven't been everywhere but it's on my list - An art journal spread for a travel dreamer

Hello and welcome!

I love to travel. I have been in many different countries during my almost 50 years of life. I have been in Sweden, Denmark, England, Croatia, Austria, Ireland, Spain, Italy, France, Tallinn, The Netherlands, Thailand, Bali and Mauritius. And of all the countries and cities I've been to, it's one country I totaly falled in love with, and I dreaming of returning to maaaany  many times, and that is Mauritius. 

What a wonderful country! A beautiful People! Imagine that so many religions can live so close together on an island without war.....The largest group, 48%, is Hindus. 32.7% are Christians, with the Catholic Church as the largest church community. 17.3% of the population belongs to Islam. And they live together in harmony. I love the Mauritus People. 

Me, my husband and our daughter who was one year at that time spend a month on Mauritus in 2014. We also get married there, so I have many good and lovely memories from this beautiful island.

This art journal spread is my homage to the country I felt so deeply in love with.

 And with this I also participate in Dina Wakley's and Rangers' #ShowusyourMEdia challenge this month as having theme travel.

Materials used:

- Art journal

- Dina Wakley's stamps: Scribbly Insects and Funky Journal Shapes

- Dina Wakley's Paint - color: Lime, Marine, Ocean, Tangerine, Cheddar and     Lemon

- Collage Words

- Collage paper

- Black and white pen

- Dina Wakley's Ultra Thin Gel Medium

Rule of three - A Rubber Dance Challenge

Hello and welcome

Today I want to show you a art journal page I made for the Challenge Reminder over at Rubber Dance blog today::

I made this just to inspire you to join the Rubber Dance May Challenge which is:

This is my big Dylusions Art Journal. I started out with some paint and stencils, then I piced up some pink gelli art Paint paper I did earlier, cut the paper into nine squares and stamped some image on each one of thesquares. Three with butterflies, three with hearts and three squares with flowers. Rule of three :-)

Here are some close ups:

Just because the background was so busy I would not do more of the squares then just stamp the butterflies, the hearts and the flowers with pink Archival Ink. On the word stamp "ART" and the  "doodling" stamps I've used stone grey Memento Ink.

I sew the squares on my page with my Ikea sewing machine 😊, just to get some cool and exciting details.

I stamped three flowers in the same colours as in the background, cut them out and glued them down with 3D glue pad on my page.

I had so much fun making this page, and the result turn out very nice I think. I hope I inspired you to join in on the Challenge over at Rubber Dance. You still have four days to join in. Just remember Rule of Three :-)

All the stamps I used on this page is from Rubber Dance. Below is a list of links to all the stamps I have used.

Background:

- Grungy Swirls

- Vintage Lace

In the squares:

- Textured Spring

- Textured Flowers

- Antique Botanicals

- I Heart Art

- Watercolor Xmas

- Butterfly Trio
- Solid Butterfly
- Art Defined
- 1row Textured Houses

Thank you for visiting. Take care and do not hesitate to give me a comment. I really appreciate that. You can also follow me - if you don't want to miss anything.

En Manilla Tag som bryllupskort - Størst av alt er kjærligheten

Hei og velkommen kjære venner!

I dag vil jeg vise dere en tag jeg har laget i forbindelse med utfordringen som er i gang på Hjerteboden sin blogg. Denne måneden handler det om kjærlighet, og jeg har laget en tag som man for eksempel kan gi bort til et brudebar.

Forsiden har jeg laget som et collage, ved å klippe og stanse ut og rive forskjellige designpapir fra Maja Design som alle er å få kjøpt i Hjerteboden sin nettbutikk. Jeg har også brukt litt stempling, washitape og annen pynt. Jeg har laget en lomme bak som man enten kan putte et gavekort oppi eller  en pengeseddel, his man foretrekker det.

Her ser du lommen som jeg har laget av Maja Design papir og washitape. Hjertet oppe i høyre hjørne er et stempel fra Rubber Dance. Over lommen er det masse god plass til å skrive noen bevingede ord til mottakeren.

Her følger noen tett på bilder av noen detaljer:

Skriften i bakgrunnen er et stempel fra Rubber Dance, som jeg har stemplet med brun Archival ink. Sommerfuglene er fra Wycianka og kan kjøpes i Hjerteboden sin nettbutikk. Disse  har jeg farget rundt kantene med blå Distress ink.

Hjertet er Resindekor som kan kjøpes i Hjerteboden sin nettbutikk, og blomsten i håret på kvinnen er fra mitt eget stæsj.

Manilla Tagen kan du også få kjøpt i Hjerteboden sin nettbutikk. Her har jeg brukt størrelsen #12.

Dett var dett for denne gang. Håper jeg ga deg inspirasjon til å være med på månedens utfordring hos Hjerteboden. Alt er lov bare det er kjærlighet i det :-)

Tusen takk for at du stakk innom, og kanskje du har tid til å legge igjen en liten hilsen? Det hadde jeg i så fall satt veldig stor pris på.

Sees snart!

Klem, Anita
