Find Magic

I got inspired by this year's Autumn more than I supposed.

I am so in awe with this warm and colorful shades of browns, reds and oranges.

I made the Art Journal spread with a specific garden :-)

I think there is a magic absolutely everywhere, depends on the way we look at things, nature, machines, lansdcapes, industry... 

I found a mistery magic in a mechanical flowers :-)

Stars

Hello there! Here comes another Monday and our brand new challenge:

STARRY NIGHT which means we'd love you to show us stars. 

Don't forget you could be a random winner of $50 voucher 

and spend it at the Simon Says Stamp Store. 

I made a very colorful and 3D card full of stars.

Folding the stars is not my hobby but it's really worth the effort. 

Just take a look at some steps I took to make this card:

First I cover my base of watercolor paper with the crackle opaque paste 

through one of ma favorite stencil - SSS Extra Large Dots.

I heat dried it just because I'm not a patient crafter at all, lol. 

Whatever, the result is cool enough and the crackles are perfect. 

Then I covered the base with blue metallique  paint and 

added some touches of blue distress inks. 

Finally I highlighted the dots with my absolutely fave old silver wax.

The stars were cut from a watercolor paper and colored with distress oxides.

Then I splashed them with water to get an uneven color surface.

After folding them I placed some 3D dots in the center of each 

and glued them to the base leaving them a bit movable. 

The moon was cut from a bigz die, covered with sand paste, 

then with silver modeling paste, black paint and old silver wax. 

Isn't the texture fabulous? This is how I imagine the moon surface :-)
