Altered wooden painter`s palette by Heike`s AugenBlick

 Hello everyone,

and welcome to my design team work.

I am Heike from Heike`s AugenBlick and I am your host for today.

I hope you had a beautiful Christmas time with lots of lovely memories.

Our Christmas time was quiet, Jörgen my handsome hubby had  to work in the hospital.

So we only had the Christmas Eve lunch with three of our four kids.

I enjoyed the time we had together. It is so sad that the time for Christmas music is also over.

I love Christmas music and one of my favorite songs is: 

"Walking in the air"

"Walking in the air" is  a song from Howard Blake created for the 1982 animated UK Christmas special "The Snowman" based on the book by Raymond Briggs. The song was sung by choirboy Peter Auty.

The song has become a kind of Christmas standard in the United Kingdom,

as the animated special has become prominent in British culture airing annually similar to

 "A Charlie Brown Christmas" in the US.

Here is a short lyric from the song.

Walking in the air

We `re walking in the air.

We`re flooting in the moonlit sky.

The pepole far below 

Are sleeping as we fly

I`m holding very tight

I`m finding I can fly

So high above with you....

Here is a link to the song:

(1) Peter Auty - Walking In The Air - YouTube

But any way:

I created for you an altered mixed media project, more precisely

a wooden painter`s palette.

A closer look:

My focal point photo is with clear embossing powder covered. I also used the little palette opening as frame for another photo which I covered with clear embossing powder also.

A short description about my background steps:

I started on my wooden painter`s palette with a layer of black gesso. After my black gesso was dry

I cut a paper-sheet from the sunrise paper collection and I glued this

 to my wooden palette with gel medium.

I protected my paper with a layer of clear gesso.

After that I cut a piece  of the travel the world transparency folie and I glued this with gel medium on my wooden palette.

After that I have added lots of texture with multipurpose medium, crackle glaze,

 modeling paste and a stencil, powertex balls and 3D powders. I let the hole thing dry overnight.

My photo image shows the wet texture on my wooden palette.

My color choice for this project was quite dark and vintage looking.

That means Color Glow powders in dark blue and brown with gold and bras should

 be the main colors on my wooden painter`s paltette.

Hot Chocolate Scrapbook Layout by Heike`s AugenBlick

  Hello 13@rts fans,

I am Heike from Heike`s AugenBlick and I am your host for today.

I hope you are well and you enjoy the Autumn season. 

I created for you a scrapbook layout of course in mixed media style, with my thoughts on the 

 festive month of December. I love hot chocolate with wipped cream, so yummy.

For me this drink is part of feel good in the cold months.

Here is my favorite recipe for hot chocolate:

You need: 

 250ml milk, 

 a pinch cinnamon,

 a teaspoon of brown sugar

 and 45gram dark chocolate (broken into small pieces).

Heat three teaspoons of milk with the rest of the ingredients until a creamy substance is formed.

Then add the rest of the milk. Fill the hot chocolate in a cup. 

Finish touch: wipped cream, mini marshmellows and a pinch cinnamon. Cheers!!

My title of course is called:

Hot chocolate

How I start my layout:

When I start a scrapbook layout in mixed media design, I usually start with the embellishments. 

In my case it was the cut-out paper of the Bella paper collection. 

After that I go on the search for a suitable photo and background paper. My favorite free photo site is "Pixabay".

Then I start with a so-called raw design: I put the photo and my embellishments (without glue) on my background paper. Then I search again for more decoration products and embellishments.

After that I decide about my color combination, my 3D effect mediums and the use of stencil and stamps.

If I am happy with my so called raw-design, I start with the fun part of my design. First adding of clear gesso on both sites of my background paper. I let my background paper air dry. In the mean time 

I paint and color my embellishments. 

This is how I start my scrapbook layout in mixed media style.

A closer look:

For my layers behind the photo I always use the A6 paper packs. 

Perfect also for DIE cutting ( Doiley in the left corner behind my photo) 

Here is a perfect closer look to the new glas nugget from 13@rts.

I glued the glas nugget on the dier images from the new ART book from 13@rts.

DIE cutting with the A6 Victoriana paper and finishing touch with embossingpowder.

Underneath a piece of the Bella transparency.

Each new paper collection comes with a cut-out paper sheet. 

Sometimes I have the feeling with the cut-out paper elements that I have to change the colors a bit so that they fit better to my design. Therefore I mostly use watercolor and for the finishing touch 

I use Color Glow.

 Hello everyone, it has been a while since I had time to create, so I am thrilled to be back to crafting and making layouts again. As you may know, I have designed 4 new collections and they have just been released. One of them is called "End of Summer", and that was the one I have chosen for my first creations. Today I want to share a layout with you, with some rusty and blue tones. The texture is made with "Summer flowers"stencil and Color glow Golden Calcite mixed with gel medium - perfect shade for this collection:) 

Witajcie kochani, ostatnio ciężko mi było znaleźć czas na tworzenie, a to za sprawą kolekcji które tworzyłam dla Was i które właśnie ostatnio ujrzały światło dzienne :)  Ukazały się cztery nowe kolekcje, a jedną z nich jest End of Summer, na której powstał ten layout. Cudownie jest wrócić do biurka i w końcu móc tworzyć. Tekstura na tle jest wykonane głównie za pomocą maski z tej kolekcji "Summer flowers" oraz zmieszanej farbki w proszku Color Glow i Gel medium. Odcień Golden Calcite jest wprost idealny do tej kolekcji:) 

Products I used:

Papers, ephemera pack, stencil, transparency chipboard set:

Button set

Clip set

Scrapbook layout by Heike`s AugenBlick

Hello my dear blog reader, 

Heike here from Heike`s AugenBlick, designer for 13@rts.

Not only that I am your challenge host for the month of August

(I hope you saw my mood board and find the time to take part in the August challenge).

The challenge can be found on the right side from the 13@rts blog page.

But anyway:

I am here today to inspire you to create with the wonderful products of 13@rts.

I created a scrapbook layout in mixed media style.

Here is a short description about my creative process.

As always I started with adding two layers of clear gesso on both sites of my paper sheet.

After my clear gesso was dry, I started with adding texture and color.

Therefore I mixed color glow with multipurpose gel medium

and I added the mix to a stencil from 13@rts. After that I repeated

this step with  another color from color glow. I let the whole thing air dry.

In the mean time I painted my title (cardstock-words) with yellow watercolor, cut a sheet of  the Rosalie

collection with my big shot and a DIE from Tim Holtz and I painted die cut element  also with yellow watercolor.

After my texture was dry I added paint. First black gesso on the edges. Watercolor and a mix of color glow with acrylic-medium. The next step was stamping. After that I added gold glitter with the plallet-

knife to my background. I glued my focal point, embellishments / flowers, and than I added again texture but this time a mix of gel medium and 3D flakes, sequin and diamond-dust.

Finale touch splattering and scibbeling.

My photo which I used for this scrapbook layout is from:

Sacha Goldberger, born in 1968, he is a  French photographer and writer.
