Hello and Happy Mother's Day!
Today I am over the  ColourArte's blog and I show you a canvas altered "Finnabair style".
Last year I had the pleasure and the honor of attending to one of her classes in Rome ... and it was a unique experience!
I do not think I've "felt" or "experienced" so many emotions in one day alone. Anna is a genuine person, real, gentle but at the same time with a good character and able to convey her emotions through her work.

Having had the opportunity to follow her during her creative process was very constructive and meaningful.
For this project I also decided to use a tool that I didn't use in a long time .... charcoal pencil!


I have not a step by step tutorial for this project, because although I revised and mixed few techniques that she taught us, it did not seem fair to me to create a tutorial process... although I know I made it "mine".

I invite you to go and take a peek over the ColourArte blog to find more photos and the list of materials used!

I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Stay happy, stay creative! Till next time, xoxo!

Hello Crafters!
Here we are with the Challange Reminder for Take it Make it, Challange blog of Craft Stamper Magazine! 

As stated in this post , this month theme is : 'TAKE A STAMP - ANYTHING GOES' . 
This mean the theme is super duper easy, fun and gives you a lot of space to run with your fantasy! Anything goes as long as it has at least ONE stamped image -- this mean NO DIGI stamp.

In today's card, I used a really beautiful stamp from Scrapberry's.  I love the sentiment because it is one of the motto I go by.

For the background I used Dylusions Spray and a stencil form TCW. I used Calypso Teal and Vibrant Turquoise, and then I added few drops of Fresh Lime to add some interest to the background. 
Once it was dry well, I reused the stencil and applied 3D Clear Gel.

I stamped the Hot Air Balloon with Archival Ink Black and then i colored it with Distress Markers.

Hello Crafters and happy first May everyone!

As every first friday of the month, here's the challange over Take It Make it, the challange blog of Craft Stamper Magazine!
Theme of this month is : 'TAKE A STAMP - ANYTHING GOES' .
This mean that you can submit anything you want as long as it has at least one stamped image! And we are asking for a real stamped image and not a digi stamp for instance.

Today we also welcome our three new designer, and we have another italian girl!!! So, help me welcoming  Gio Zara, Ellie Knol and Mandi Mance !

All the team made OUTSTANDING projects and you can all admire them : here

This is my take on the challange, I created a ONE-LAYER (sorta) card!
The stamp I have used are Artemio (Hello word and triangles), Limor Webber Design/ IndigoBlu (Grid border stamp) and the rest you see is hand draw by me (flower, "you" and scribbles).

The background is made with Radiant Gels by ColourArte, Gesso and Black Gesso.
