background 32/100

Creating outside is influencing the outcome, don't you think?




















It all started with a piece of a gelli print
and evolved further and further:

background 31/100

In my overflowing box of scraps I found this piece of tissuepaper which called to me to be used on this background.
So I glued it down, while glueing it down I noticed the neat color transfer so I shifted the tissuepaper to the right.


I added some collage elements out of the box and some stamping.


some coloring with oil pastels and some mail inspired washi tape.

WOYWW 416 - background? 30/100

Hello,

Today is Wednesday, awalys a good day 
because...
middle of the week 
and more importantly WOYWW day and a special one today, the 8th anniversary, congrats Julia!!!
On top of that, I'm on the verge of a long weekend,
and the weather is fabulous, this Sunday up to 30°C.
So my desk is still set outside


















my box with a selection of supplies is getting fuller and fuller each time :-)


















While my son was playing in his new swimming pool I created this "background", 
I think it is more a finished page already,
just need to add some words, a quote and done.




















I always like to see the progress a page makes, so here it is















Can't promise it will be today that I'll visit, but definitely somewhere in the next coming days.

background 29/100

I just cut a piece of the paper that lies on my desk to somewhat protect it,
glued it on to my page



















and transformed it into this





















I call this background #29

Here is a quick, simple background:




















some booktext, spraying (which the camera for some reason doesn't pick up very good) and stencilling through a vintage clock stencil.
Have a lovely day!

background 27/100

Background #27 started out with spraying a word stencil which I cut with the Silhouette Cameo, 
can you believe the intricity and detail it can cut??





















Next I added some images from a papertissue (I could never use such a pretty tissue to blow my nose,  no, I bought this intentionally for crafting) and a KaiserKraft stamp in the top left corner.




















This background was made earlier this week, but I thought it wasn't finished enough to share, then I reminded myself today that it is only meant to be a background.

background 26/100

This challenge is succeeding in it's purpose.
I wanted to create more and I am definitely doing that, 
perhaps not every single day, 
because sometimes life just gets in between me and my crafting,
but as you can see at the increase of blog posts a lot more than in the beginning of the year.
It is also teaching me to go with the flow,
I do not need a plan upfront, 
let one thing lead to another. 
And that is exactly what happened with this background.




















Here you can see the evolution:




















It all started simply with taping down some masking tape;
which led me to color them with some oil pastels;
added some scraps out of my box;
and colored the remaining white space with some acrylic paint
then the oil pastels came out again to play, 
they are by far my favorite supply at the moment.
