Visible Image Wednesday: Immortal Love

Today I have a little tutorial of my acetate tag for you - hope you like it.

First of all I cut out an acetate tag and embossed it with an embossingfolder two times - only one part of the tag every time.

Now I stamped the text - I have used "immortal" "love" of the beautiful Immortal Love Set of Visible Image. Now I took out some color pencils and colored the embossed parts. Of course it's not giving much color but I think the subtle look is beautiful. I used red for the bricks.

 And here I used black to draw the lines between the bricks.

 

Now I stamped the roses of the  Immortal Love Set on a separate piece of acetate, cut them out and colored them with Alcohol Inks. I glued them down with Glossy Accents.

 And here's the finished tag. As you can see I have punched a hole for a ribbon and the film strip was also stamped on a separate piece of acetate, cut out and glued down with Glossy Accents.

Please also take a look at the wonderful stamps in the Visible Image Onlineshop. And hop over to the Visible Image Blog and/or join us in the Visible Image Facebook Group!

Art Journal Page like in the video

Here I have an art journal page like in my video (http://cbee-cards-and-more.blogspot.co.at/2012/09/art-journal-page-video.html) ... that's the page I filmed and where I had to discover that not everything was saved, so I had to make a new video.

Art Journal Page - Video

A new video ... still not perfect but with a better webcam recorded and edited with a better software.

I was asked to share a video how I have made this page: Art Journal - Image Transfer. So here it is. I had some troubles with it though. Yesterday I created a page and recorded it but then I discovered that it wasn't saved completely, so I had to make a new video with a new page - this time I decided to do it in a different color - blue. Here the image of the magazine was not so perfect - the paper didn't get off easily and did pull off completely at some spots - but I don't mind, it adds to the distressed look.

I hope you like my page and my video!

Tag for Studio L3 & my first video

Today I have filmed my first video - of course there's much to make better so please be kind ;)

The tag I have created is for the challenge at Studio L3. The beautiful chipboard flourish, flowers & butterfly are from tando creative. ... don't forget that there's a blog hop at tando creative!!

Sneak - Altered Book

Die letzten Tage habe ich an einem Altered Book für einen Kurs im Herbst gearbeitet. Details folgen im September/Oktober, aber einen kleinen Sneak habe ich für euch.

The last days I have worked on an altered book for a class in autumn. I will post the details in September/October, but here you can see a little sneak.

Swimming & kleiner Workshop

Dieses Layout ist nach dem Sketch der Woche im SBT entstanden. Es hat mich schon lang gedrängt, wieder mal ein Mosaik zu machen - allerdings wollte ich kein "einfaches" Mosaik machen, sondern ein "bißchen mehr" und ich denke, das ist mir ganz gut gelungen. Nach den Bildern des Layouts findet ihr auch einen kleinen Workshop zu meiner Blume, die ich aus Spitze und einer Prima Flower gemacht habe. ... die Inspiration bekam ich dafür von Tim Holtz ;)

This layout is based on a sketch of the week of a German forum. For a long time I wanted to do a mosaik again but I didn't want to make a "simple one", it had to be a "little more" - I think I have reached my goal. After the pictures of my layout you will find a little workshop for my flower of lace and a Prima flower - I was inspired by Tim Holtz ;)

Workshop little lace flower

Ihr braucht geeignete Spitze & Nadel & Faden in der passenden Farbe

you will need lace, needle & thread in the same color

 

Am Ende des Fadens einen Knoten machen und unten an der Spitze den Faden einziehen.

make a knot on the end of the thread and then stitch the lace together

 

Wenn ihr genug Spitze für eine Blume mit dem Faden zusammengezogen habt, dann näht die Enden zusammen.

If you have enough lace for a flower stitch the ends together.

 

 Die fertige Spitzenblume

the finished lace flower

 Nun die Blume ein bißchen färben, ich habe dafür Distress Ink genommen.

Now color the flower a little bit - I have taken distress ink.

 Nun habe ich kleine Prima Flowers genommen und auch diese ein bißchen mit Distress Ink gefärbt.

Now take some small Prima flowers and color them too.

UTEE in den Melting Pot geben und schmelzen lassen.

give UTEE in the melting pot and let melt.

 Nun taucht die Blume mit der Vorderseite nach unten in den Meltingpot, wenn sie ganz bedeckt ist, nehmt sie heraus, lasst das UTEE abtropfen und legt sie auf euer Craft Sheet zum Trocknen.
Now dip your flower with the frontside into the UTEE. When it is fully covered take it out and let the UTEE drip off - put it on your craft sheet for drying.

 Nun die Prima Flower ins UTEE tauchen und trocknen lassen.

Now dip the Prima flower into the UTEE and let dry.

 Die Spitzenblume ein bißchen anwärmen, damit das UTEE leicht anschmilzt, danach sofort die Prima Flower draufdrücken.
Let the UTEE on your lace flower melt a bit, then put your Prima flower on it

 

So sieht die fertige Blume aus.

Here's the finished flower.
