IndigoBlu Stamps on Tea Bags

Hello everyone! It's Solange Marques here and today I'll share with you an art journal page using the fantastic IndigoBlu products.

I love to use stamps on tea bags background. I glued the teabags on the paper using regular gel medium and then I used Grand Tour I, Grand Tour II and Grand Tour III A5 red rubber stamps.

I also used some IndigoBlu English Cottage Artist's Acrylic Paints: Hot Cocoa, Townhouse Teal, Park Lane and the metallic blue: Sleeping Beauty.

I really love the texture of the tea bags on the background!
I hope you enjoy it!

Lost Family Lady Mixed Media Layout

My first project for this month is a layout made with Acrylics, Kroma Crackle, stamps and vintage a vintage photo. 

As background I used a plain white cardstock that I prepped with GeeSso Good Gesso. When dry I added the acrylics blended with water. A bit of stamping with black waterproof ink and a stamp from the Grand Tour II stamp set.

 Kroma Crackle gives an extra effect to the background. Especially when highlighted with at bit of stamp ink.

A bit of flowers, a piece of cheese cloth, a badge and a couple of vintage buttons as decorations fit perfectly with the feeling of the card. 

Sometimes you don´t have the right photo for what you want to accomplish, then don´t hesitate to take a pre made one. I have used one from the Lost Family Paper Pad. 

A process video to take you through the process:

Altered Trunk with Solange Marques

Hi Everyone, it's Solange Marques here today to share with you an altered trunk.

I love to make suitcases and trunks from cartons. This piece was done by myself. For this project I used the IndigoBlu European Grand Tour Mixed Media Paper Pad 12x12 to cover the outside of the trunk.

I added lots of metal trims, a handle and old belts to the trunk;

I applied IndigoBlu Mega Flakes Autumn Blaze on some places of the trunk:

For the inside of the trunk I used the IndigoBlu Cartography Mixed Media Paper Pad 6x6 and I added images from the A5 IndigoBlu Grand Tour II stamp set;

Here are some pictures of the inside;
