More Pinworthy Inspiration

Hello and thank you for stopping by, we have more wonderful Pinworthy inspiration to share with you today complements of our Pinworthy winners from May; Jannet of Enchanted Place, Maria of My Hobby Scrap and Susi of Froebelsternchen. They have all created wonderful projects for our current Watercolour challenge, enjoy!

Jannet



Hi I am Jannet from London, UK. I was surprised and delighted to have been included in the pinworthy choices, thank you so much. I have been crafting for as long as I can remember. I have many early memories of cutting up cornflakes boxes to make furniture for my Sindy doll. I am still guilty of collecting “useful” boxes.

I enjoy a variety of crafts, and whenever possible I love to incorporate elements from nature into my projects.

One of my favourite colouring mediums is watercolours, so I was thrilled to discover that this month Amanda has chosen “Watercolour Wonder” for her theme.



After creating my watercolour background, I stamped the girl blowing a dandelion and used pressed gypsophila for the dandelion clock. I wound twine and cords at the base of the picture and slotted pressed gypsophila between them.



May all your wishes come true xx

My Blog is called Enchanted Place and I hope you will pop by for a visit.



Maria

Hello everyone! I’m very glad to be a guest designer in such a wonderful blog, it’s an honor for me! My name is Maria Loginova, I’m from Russia, from city called Saratov. I’m a wife and mother. I become acquainted with scrapbooking about 2.5 years ago, and since that time we are inseparable. I like that due to my favorite hobby I could be engaged in creativity and communicate with like-minded people all over the world.



I have made a canvas on a hoop for this task.



This work is based on old child photo of my husband and his mother. My idea was to emphasize sensitivity and tenderness of this photo.



I have used watercolor paints and distress ink pad for background as well as other mixed-media techniques.



I have prepared a detailed step-by-step tutorial for you for this project.

Thank you!


Susi



Hi, I'm Susi (aka froebelsternchen) living in the North of Austria. I started my journey in Mixed Media wonderland in 2003 with rubber stamping. Since this time I've become addicted to Mixed Media Art. My main focus - Art Journaling - gives me the freedom and all kinds of possibilities, playing and breaking the rules, in fact making my own. I am so excited to show you my Art –Journal spread , created for the ‘Watercolour Wonder’ Challenge here at A Vintage Journey.



I used dried plant material that I collected at one of my walks in our beautiful region and my trusty old Watercolour paint box.



Thank you to the "A Vintage Journey " Team for inviting me and for continuing to provide us all with wonderful inspiration.
