Selfmade 12x12" patterned paper

Ok. As i promised, here is a small photo tutorial on my selfmade patterned paper.



I used
12x12" white cardstock
Glimmer Mist Caramel Apple
Versamark Watermark stamp pad
different stamps
Vintage Photo distress stain
Distress pads in Antique Linen, Wild Honey and Vintage Photo
Blending tool
Archival Ink sepia
Mini Mister
soft brush
perfect pearls gold
Distress stickels Rock Candy




First i stamped with all my stamps and the watermark pad all over the page.
I dried everything with the heat tool. Then i sprayed the page with the Glimmer Mist.




After this i used the Antique linen and the Blending tool and colored nearly the whole page.
After this i used the Minimister to spritz some water all over the paper to blend the colors and lighten it a bit.
Then i took the wild honey to color it more on the outside.



After this i stamped again some elements with the Watermark inkpad and dried with Heat tool.
Then i did another layer of paint with Vintage Photo. After this I put some water on my fingers and spritzed it on the paper and let it set for some seconds. Then i dried it with the heat tool
Than i used the Archival Ink to stamp my images on the paper.



While the ink was still wet i took a soft brush and some perfect pearls in gold and put it on some of the stamped images.



The last things i added was some Distress stickles Rock Candy on a butterfly and Vintage Photo distress stain all around the edge..




And here is the finished paper.

A weekend in Munich

I spend the last weekend with my good friend Nicole in Munich. I arrived there on thursday and left on sunday morning. I was there for a special event.
A TAKE THAT concert!
It was a great show. The stage was amazing. We stood in front of the main stage!!!
I hope they will be in Germany soon, but near to my home, maybe Berlin.

I am so looking forward to this bag. It will be shipped early- Mid. September.
So stay tuned for the new Prima goodies.

What I do else

I just want to show you what I do when I don´t scrap.
I work in my garden.
The garden is about 1800 m²
Nearly half of it are trees and bushes and inbetween our small pond with a course of a stream and a summer house.

On the right side of the house, watching the backyard

same side but facing the front

Flowerpots to cover a sump shaft, watched from the back porch

The front of our house - still a work in progress

our summer house/garden pavilion near the pond
