Hello creatives!! Few days before my baby born I posted this page of my life documented journal and I said that I would post next day the tutorial for this flowers. But then my baby born and I had no longer the time to do that. So today I want to share with you finally how I do this beautiful coffee filter flowers.

I like to use kids markers and watercolors to add color to the coffee filters.
Paint on the coffe filters with the markers. Then spray water to de paint and the paint starts to spread and blend and that makes beautiful combinations and efects.

You can do the same with watercolors.

After it drys I draw flowers and cut them. Vary the shapes and form of them.
You can do a bunch of them and them have prepared when you need to embellish some pages

Flowers embellishments

Last year i make a swap with a friend and she lovely send me these beautiful flowers. If i love to make my own embellishments it's very fun to have on hand some ready to put on our journals.

I did some alterations to the flowers and created an assortment of different embellishments.

Add some clips to your flowers.

Add double tape and you will have a sticker

And you can add some doodles to your flowers and you'l get unique and personalized flowers.

Life documented 2017 - Art Card my process

In week 6 of documented life 2017 the prompt was: To create a page using layers - as many as you can/wish! and the quote was ‘I love layers’

Last year one of the things that i most loved to do on my unplanner where this little pocket art cards. They are small size cards that we can easily do art in and i always love the result. So this year i decided to continue doing them for my unplanner. And time to time I like to share my process. 

I hope that this little cards can inspire you and loved to see yours too.

1- As I don't have a gelli plate i use an acetate foil to do a print in my card.

2 - Select some papers to collage

     3 - Glue the papers and add some marks

 4 - Add some white to highlight some areas

5 - Doodle flowers and add more marks

6 - Stitch some edges of the card

Make stickers letters on cork stoppers

One of the things that I love is to create my own embellishments that I will then incorporate on my journals, unplanner or other projects.  Today I want to share with you this  great form to create letter stikers, which then you can use to form words. 

It's really simple and so easy to do!!

Cut little slices of the cork stoppers. Use letter stamps to stamp the cork. At the end in the back use double tape and you have great letter stikers. :) Ta da!!! Is that!! It's easy right?

Create beautiful plastic masking tape feathers

Two weeks ago I posted a DIY about some beautiful masking tape feathers that I've made. They add an extremely success (I'm so grateful for that guys!!). I had scheduled to post this week this masking tape feathers round #2.  I really don't know if you call this tape masking tape. Is a plastic colored tape with 4.9 cm wide.

This feathers are more easy to do because they have already color!!:)
 You have to cut  twice the length of the adhesive tape and half the length of wire. Fold in half the tape.

Then, with a scissor, cut out the shape of the feather.

I love feathers! Love to collect them, love to draw them and create feathers from paper or masking tape was one of my recent discovers! They are lovely to incorporate on your artjournals or in sckrapbooking pages. They make a beautiful embellishment! 

Today I want to share with you some feathers made from masking tape from hardware stores! :) 

Tenho un fascínio por penas!!! Adoro desenhá-las, de coleciná-las, de as usar como carimbo!!!! Recentemente comecei a fazê-las a partir de fita adesiva, daquela que se usa para selar os rodapés quando se pintam as casas!  

Hoje deixo-vos esta linda maneira de fazer penas coloridas, que podem usar nos vossos artjpurnals, nas páginas de sckrapbooking.

Put adhesive tape on the plastic. Give some strokes with watercolors or acrylic paint. After it dry, in the middle put a thin wire. Fold the tape in half. Cut the shape of the feather.
Draw with a pen and make some cuts to resemble a feather. As it has wire you can make the shape of the feather make it more real and dimensional!!

Colocar a fita cola num plástico. Dar umas pinceladas com aguarelas ou tinta acrílica. Depois de seca colocar no meio um arame fino. Dobrar a fita adesiva ao meio. Recortar a forma da pena.
Desenhar com uma caneta e dar uns recortes para se parecer com uma pena. Como tem arame podemos dobrar a pena para lhe dar dimensão e torná-la mais real!!

Take a Look at another happy project with masking Tape!
