Magenta Style Mixed Media Bugs And Flowers ATCS

Hi all

I am back on the blog  with a set of ATCs

Dragon Fly and Bug 

Flower Lines

I started off by using a stencil on the backgrounds and then spraying with inks.

Next i stamped out the dragonfly and bug stamp onto card and coloured in the dragonfly and cut it out.

I used the flower lines stamps and coloured them with bright matching colours. I then used another flower stamp and layered two flowers together.

Magenta Style Dragonfly Inspirational Greeting Card

Hi all

I am back with a new project for you using Magenta Stamps

Dragonfly and Bug Stamp

A Work Of Art

Flourishes Stencil

I used a tall card and applied the stencil down the center using modeling paste. I then used green and grey mist sprays over the top. Next i added some white thread to the card and glued it in place.

I used the Dragonfly and bug stamp on white card. I then used watercolours to colour the dragonfly in and then cut it out before adding to the page.

I stamped out the Work Of Art Stamp int to card and then spritzed it with ink before cutting it out and gluing it to the centre of the card.

How To Create The Work Of Art Journal page

Hi all

I am guest designer for the Magenta team this month and here is my first  project.

Start off by layering gesso over a blank page with a palette knife. Once dry, spritz green ink over the centre of the page and then use a paint brush to spread the ink out. Paint the edges of the journal page with green Acrylic paint.

Stamp the quote stamp into the centre and apply a stencil mask to the edges of the page.

Stamp the leaves stamp into the corners using green ink and then using a different shade f green stamp over the top with a leaf flourish.

How to create an inspiring canvas from recycled packaging.

Hi all

Waste not want not is a popular saying that rings true to us crafters,after all one person's trash is another's creative opportunity. In this tutorial i am going to show you how to use cardboard packaging and turn it into a work of art.

Tutorial

1) Coat the cardboard packaging with gesso.

2) Apply modeling paste with a mini stencil.

3) Add a layer of paint and ink, have fun and just create a colourful mess.

4) Stamp out the leaf lines stamp onto card.

5) Colour leaves with glimmer glaze

6) Repeat with flowers

7) Cutting out detailed stamps can be challenging, Stamp them onto your background first and use as an outline.

8) Just cut out the leaves and glue onto the corresponding outline.

9) Apply liquid glass to leaves and petals.

10) Cut out a few petals and use them to fill the gaps/

11) Add a sentiment
