Goodbye from Belladonna

W moim ostatnim poście chciałabym Wam życzyć mnóstwa kreatywnej energii w Nowym Roku i podziękować za możliwość pracy ze świetnymi motywami i zdolnymi artystkami. Najmilej wspominam zestawy zębatkowe o prawdziwie industrialnych kształtach. O takich:

Do zobaczenia!

Goodbye from Riikka

Riikka here today to say "Goodbye"! This is my last post to 3rd Eye blog. It has been an amazing time to share projects here and hopefully inspiring you with them. Like I wrote into the card I made for this post - best time ever. I'm grateful for being on the team and getting to play with the 3rd Eye goodies. 

For the goodbye posts Karolina asked us to choose a favorite product from 3rd Eye. That was a challenge as I love many of the products! I love the flairs or the badges - there's so many to choose from! So many designs and colors to suit every layout and project. I also love many of the stamps - some are perfect for making backgrounds and some are perfect for vocal points. And then there's the chippies and stencils still! But for this post I chose to go with the clock products, both the chippie and the stamp.

Here's the card I created using both the clock stamp and the chipboard. I also included some other stamps to the background and used the 3rd Eye stickers as embellishments, too. 

I started by misting some color to my craft sheet and dragged a piece of patterned paper through the puddle. After drying I added the different stamps in there and then added the stickers to the background. On top I layered a few pieces of patterned paper and then added the chippies on top. I colored the chipboards simply by pushing them to the stamp pad. That gave them an uneven, aged kind of coloring. Lastly I stamped the text and then traced the words with a white pen to get them more visible.

Thank you for stopping by today and thank you Karolina for all this time and creating these beautiful products! I hope I'll see you around! As it's also soon start of the new year, I want to take this opportunity and wish you a creative, wonderful 2015!

Wolnosc i brak zasad najbardziej mnie uszczesliwia !

I created this page by using Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays and white crackle paste by Finnabair.

I added my favourite chipboards and stickers.

Text background video tutorial

Hi there everyone! It's Riikka here sharing a background tutorial with you!

There's many text or calligraphy style papers out there right now. You can achieve the same look with some text stamps and a bit of patience. This particular set by 3rd Eye is really great for making this kind of background as with the heart the words form a relatively straight edged rectangular. Having that kind of "block" makes things easier with aligning the words and columns. Of course you could stamp the words to the page one by one, but that would require much more time. With the block you can cover a larger area quickly! 

Please watch the video below to see how I created the background for the page above and also for the layout at the bottom of this post! 

I used acrylic paint when stamping but simply changing the medium the outcome changes dramatically. Just think about white paper with watercolor like text compared to the one you see above. 

Also by changing the color of the background paper you can create a very different mood to your finished page. Just compare the two layouts I made - one with black background and the other with the kraft. The other page is about autumn and other about winter as the season is changing. For the autumn feeling I also used the new leaf stamp and embossed the design in gold to a piece of vellum. There's also 3rd Eye chipboard, a sticker and flairs in the page.

And here's the other page done with the same tutorial, just aligning the stamps, or the block, differently and using a different color background paper. The mood changes drastically. To give this page more of a winter feel I also added stamped snowflakes in the background as well as white splashes of paint.

I hope you feel inspired by my tutorial and the projects I made using it! Thank you for stopping by today! Also please remember there's plenty of different word stamps in 3rd Eye shop - click here to go browsing and find the one that suits your project the best!
