A game with frames

This project is my entry for:
'December Challenge' - on Beccy's  Place;
More Mixed Media Challenge - Anything goes with optional 'White';
'A bit more time to craft Challenge' - #December/January.
 


This project is base on a Beccy's creation, the 'Candy frame'.


Materials and techniques:

- the base is a dark blue stock cardboard, on which are bonded:
  the printed image, cut as a real frame, some small frames from a
  chocolate
box and round pieces from a page with a special pattern;
- the frames from corners are filled with a white doodling;
- other colors used: crayons, gold marker, acrylic metallic blue for
  the center, around a white and gold round area, gold acrylic for  shades
  on the background.

Pe un carton inchis la culoare am lipit imaginea tiparita, sub
forma de rama, celelalte rame apartinand unei cutii de ciocolata,
mici buline perforate dintr-o pagina cu model; in ramele de colt
am desenat cu alb un model 'doodling'; pentru colorare am utilizat
creioane, marker auriu, acrilic auriu pentru fundal si albastru
metalic pentru zona centrala in jurul unei zone alb-auriu.


The chocolate was good, but the frames were so funny...!

Shiny over black

This project is my entry for:
More Mixed Media Challenge - 'Anything goes with optional 'Black';
A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge- #November/December;
A Bit More time to Craft Extra - December Challenge.



The base of this project is a black cardboard (stock size) on which are
bonded:
- two shiny square pieces from a black and shiny collection for 'paper mania'
  obtained with a cutting die;
- the black glitter is poured on a double sided adhesive tape;
- the small tree is green painted on a small piece of corrugated cardboard from
  a chocolate box;
- three pieces from a napkin (napkin technique)
used colors: gold marker for the corners and a red gel pen for small baubles.

 

Am incercat si abordarea pe un carton negru pe care
am lipit: doua rame patrate obtinute prin stantare,
sclipici presarat pe banda dublu autoadeziva, un mic
brad vopsit verde, obtinut din cartonul gofrat al unei cutii
cu ciocolata si trei bucatele de servetel lipit prin tehnica
specifica; alte culori: marker auriu si carioca cu gel.


This is my last minute project with black!

Beccy's Challenge -
Day 30 - Do what you love

The Day 30 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place (second entry)
Ziua 30 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.


As final piece of this journey I chose again to color a mandala from a kit,
which is in velvet  bonded on a cardboard. The colors are markers, brushes
and that metallic blue that I love so much.  Again, in the image the gold looks
like yellow or green and the silver is white... I had to tell you!

Pentru piesa de final am ales sa colorez o mandala
formata in catifea lipita pe carton; am folosit markere,
pensule si acrilic albastru metalic in colturi. (auriul
si argintiul se vad diferit: galben, verde si alb)


This is the end of November challenge. It was fun day by day to change
the ideas, to find solutions, to discover new techniques and to admire
other creations. 
Thank you, Beccy for this journey full of colors, ideas and full of joy.

I wish you a good start in the Winter and warm wishes for Christmas!
                  Merry Christmas with health and inspiration!



Day 29 - Z


The whole journey!

Day 21- Letter S (2)
The dance of blue for Christmas

The Day 21 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place (second entry)
Ziua 21 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy. (a doua lucrare)


 

I chose to do a new project with S, so this is it.
The base is a stock blue size cardboard, with a light pattern;
for the geometry I used a stencil with a lovely shape put on the
surface; the color inside the spaces is from a pad;
in the center I used a silicone stamp and also two stickers, copper
color; other colors: blue metallic and gold from a marker.


Pe un carton bleu usor embosat am folosit un sablon
rotund prin ale carui decupari am folosit culoare din
tusiera; centrul este realizat cu o stampila de silicon;
am mai adaugat doua stickere culoare cuprului;
alte culori: albastru metalic si auriu dintr-un marker.


This stencil is too lovely and I wanted to show it to you!

Day 29 - Letter Z
From a flower to a story

The Day 29 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place.
Ziua 29 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.



I start directly: the flower is Zinnia and I chose an image from Pinterest.
I modified the image with a transformation program I used before:


 
I printed the both images. The triangle is transformed in a tree.
It's bonded on a cardboard that this time was painted with an
acrylic shiny green; around it, there is glitter on a double sided
tape; the other image is cut and shared between left and right;
I added a few accents with a gold marker, a shiny gel pen and
a green marker;  the 'alive' snowflake and the red hat are from
pattern cardboards.

 

Felicitarea are o baza colorata cu o culoare acrilica
stralucitoare, verde; imaginile lipite sunt realizate prin
transformarea unei poze de floare ( carciumareasa);
am adaugat accente cu  markere auriu si verde si
carioca stralucitoare; fulgul 'viu' si caciulita rosie
apartin unor cartoane cu model; in jurul 'bradului'
este presarat sclipici pe banda dublu autoadeziva.


This is my project for letter Z, based on the flower called zinnia, a new
word for me...😊

Yellow around a snowflake

The Day 28 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place.
Ziua 28 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.


Even it's a little bit unusual, I used a die just to obtained the image
by spraying with yellow and a bit of grey in the corners on a white
cardboard; after that I outlined
the areas with a shiny gel pen and
I painted the corners with a metallic blue; some stickers are added,
in the center being a snowflake.

Imaginea am obtinut-o utilizand o stanta peste care
am pulverizat cu galben si putin gri in colturi pe un
carton alb; dupa aceea am conturat zonele cu carioca
cu gel stralucitor si am pictat colturile cu albastru
metalic; am adaugat geometrii autocolante, in
centru fiind un fulg de zapada.

This was my yellow vision for letter Y.

Day 27 - Letter X
Xmas Satellite...

The Day 27 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place.
Ziua 27 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.


This is my vision for today...
On a white cardboard, a little bit thicker, through a plastic with holes,
I used my airbrush pen with a red color, obtaining a background with dots;
two dent lines between extreme corners form an huge X and four areas of the
surface; the colors from the background are from pads; the blue geometrical
elements are from a cardboard and everything else are stickers;
on the two lines I used a gold marker, including on the center piece.

Pe un carton mai gros, printr-un plastic cu gauri am folosit un
pix aerograf cu o culoare rosie si am realizat un fundal de puncte;
cele doua linii ce au unit colturile (adancite in carton) au generat
impartirea suprafetei in patru zone; fundalul este colorat utilizand
tusiere, elementele albastre sunt taiate dintr-un carton cu model si
restul accesoriilor sunt autocolante; pe linii am adaugat marker auriu.


This is my Xmas concept for letter X.

Shiny white

The Day 26 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place.
Ziua 26 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.


This time I reloaded a old idea of using white foam, in which I partially
cut the tree geometry and filled it with a gel containing some spheres.
When the gel were still wet, I put some small and shiny confetti;
under the triangle is bonded a piece of material for the embellishment
of candles, never used for such a purpose and the white and gold shiny
papers, left and right, are self adhesive; four snowflakes were punched
in some shiny materials.

Lucrarea este realizata pe spuma in care am practicat o decupare
in forma de bradut, pe care am umplut-o cu un gel cu sfere; pe
acesta am presarat confeti metalice cat era inca ud; sub bradut
este lipit un material ce teoretic trebuia sa decoreze lumanari si
alte doua materiale autocolante; fulgii sunt obtinuti prin perforare.
Info: gelul s-a uuscat complet in aproximativ doua ore.



This is my project for letter W.
Just an idea: the gel cured completely in approx. two hours.

Just some effects

Vintage and velvet

The Day 25 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place.
Ziua 25 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.

A special space for the light...
Un spatiu special pentru lumina...


The base is a vintage cardboard from a set. On it are bonded:
the laterals are two pieces done with that awesome technique: 'paper craft tearing'
from an old
painted sheet; the two lines blue and pink were obtained with velvet
powder put on a double sided adhesive tape; the central image with the candles
on a background with a velvet emboss; the two flowers also from a page with a
velvet pattern; two small pieces from the print for the kaleidoscope day;
three very thin gold stickers: the little star and the chains;
used colors: silver and gold markers and a little bit acrylic red.

Acest proiect este centrat pe ideea de vintage - cartonul de baza-
si catifea: piesa centrala cu un model catifelat, florile sunt dintr-o
pagina cu o embosare catifelata, iar cele doua linii albastra si roz
sunt realizate cu pudra de catifea pe banda dublu autoadeziva;
mai sunt lipite lateralele dintr-un carton vechi pictat, trei
stickere extrem de subtiri, precum si doua bucatele din printarea
de la postarea din ziua a 13-a; culori utizate: markere
auriu si argintiu si putin rosu acrilic.

This is my creation for letter V with velvet and vintage ideas.

A special unicorn

Ziua 23 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.

My unicorn!


My unicorn - a Christmas decoration -  inspired me for this project!
I printed a photo with it and bonded on a dark mauve cardboard on which you'll
see: gold shades from a pad and more yellow stamped images with another accessory
for cookies, in random positions.
In addition, lines with a gel shiny pen and blue metallic acrylic.


Imaginea unui unicorn - decoratiune de Craciun -  tiparita, este
lipita pe un carton mov inchis pe care am adaugat: urme aurii
dintr-o tusiera si mai multe imagini stampilate cu galben, utilizand
un alt accesoriu pentru bucatarie; in completare, linii realizate
cu gel auriu si albastru metalic acrilic.


This is my new project for letter U.

In addition, I play a little bit making this image with an unicorn, by
scraping the black color. Just a way of relaxing the mind!

petals; a few stickers: a small bell, two snowflakes and a round piece;
a bird obtained with a hobby puncher;
