I’ve been playing with my new Rubbernecker watercolour stamps. Here is the result:

I had this lovely butterfly postage stamp that I wanted to use on an atc, so I decided to combine it with stamped images of dragonflies and mail art stamps.
The background is painted with gesso and sprayed and dripped with Dylusions inks. The edge of the card has been gold embossed.

Writing in my art journal is getting more and more important to me these days. I’d like to share with you a page I created to commemorate a wonderful person who died of cancer at the age of 47. Despite the sad occasion, I managed to turn it into a bright and positive page, for that totally reflects his own state of mind. The idea for this page has been slumbering in my mind ever since Dan died two years ago, but I’m so glad I finally created this spread, for it helps me cope and I’m sure it will bring back many happy memories every time I’ll look at it.
I incorporated a photograph I took many years ago, but I blurred it a bit, for I don’t want to share anyone’s picture without their permission.
I’d like to enter this journal spread into a the following challenges:
The quote I used for my pages comes from a beautiful song called ”To each his storm’ by ‘Rome’:
If this journal spread inspires you in any way (the colours, the theme of nature/trees, your favourite song quote, the theme of commemoration/illness …) in creating your own, please feel free to post a link to your creation in my comments, so that I can have a look!
I’ve got some flower ATCs to share with you:
I’d like to enter both ATCs in the following challenges:
As the second ATC features an embossing resist background, I’d like to enter this one into the Frilly and Funkie challenge too.

‘Do you believe in fairies?’ is this fortnight’s theme over at ‘Fun with ATCs‘ and Hels over at ‘Sunday Stampers‘ wants to see something shiny. It was an excellent excuse for me to try out the new Brilliance inks I’ve recently bought:
Unfortunately, the subtle sparkle of the Brilliance inks is hard to capture on scan.

Here’s my offering for the Fashionable Stamping ‘Nature’ challenge.

Again an ATC to share with you:
In reality, there’s a bit of bling involved, for the silhouette flowers on both the square and the background were inked with distress inks and sprayed with perfect pearls before being stamped.
I’d like to enter this atc into two challenges:

The weather has been dreary the last couple of days, so I’m sure you don’t mind me sharing this glorious green garden ATC. As I live in the city, I don’t actually have a garden, but I’m sure if I had one it would not only be populated with insects, snails, butterflies or hedgehogs…
The resist background was made with wax paper.

Here’s an ATC I created for the following challenges:
For the background I used an embossing resist technique on watercolour paper. I heat embossed the edges of the ATC and of the square die cut in gold.

Hopefully I’m not too late for the Sunday Stamper’s challenge ‘Leaves’! Since my ATC swap partner let me know that she has received my ATC, I can safely share it with you now. This is also my entry for the October challenge of The Artistic Stamper ‘Autumn colours’.
This was actually the first time that I tried this background technique with Deli paper and I loved it!
The leaves were punched out of card stock to create a kind of dry embossed effect and the only actual stamp I used is that of the mushroom (Stamp Francisco).
