Play Like A Child - Art Journalling!

Today I have another art journal page to share with you.

This page is the last in a series of experimenting with Dylusions ink sprays. 

I chose 3 Dylusions colour sprays (pink and purple colours) and I sprayed diagonally across the page. While it was still wet I flicked water on the page. I used paper towel to dab off the excess then I sprayed water through 2 different stencils (TCW) and used a paper towel to dab off excess.

After this had dried I applied white gesso through a selection of stencils (TCW and Dylusions) across my page. Then I added some stamps (Papertrey Ink and KaiserCraft). I also added some paint stripes using an old itunes card.

Lastly I added a title/quote from Colour Me Positive 2016 - week 9.

Thanks so much for stopping by

Create Your Own Dreams - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard. 

This page is all about Jessica and her gymnastics. I've used cut file from The Cut Shoppe which forms the background feature for my page. I just love all the different sided squares - perfect for framing small photos as part of your layout.

Underneath my cut file I've attached a sheet of cardstock sprayed randomly with blue, teal and black Dylusions ink sprays (the colours of the gymnastics club).

I've painted the title chippie with some black Dylusions paints and left the rest of the chippies raw - I love this look at the moment! I've matted my photos on some black cardstock and added a doilie to soften the background. Some paper flowers and flair are always fun additions.

I've used a selection of different font and sized chipboard alphas to create the word "gymnastics"

I've added some smaller photos in the square frames of the cut file - this is a great way to add lots of photos to your page.

Imaginarium Designs chipboard I've used includes 

Main letter set lower case small : code IDA0005

Main letter set upper case small : code IDA0006

Capilal letters : code IDAUC0001

Loolabelle's nested arrows : code IDDL0018

Create your own dreams : code IDP0191

 

I print my photos on an Epson XP-600 printer.

Trust Your Intuition - Art Journalling!

Today I have another art journal page to share with you.

This page is the another in a series of experimenting with Dylusions ink sprays. 

I chose 3 Dylusions colour sprays (blue, teal and lime) and I sprayed randomly across the page. While it was still wet I flicked water on the page. I used paper towel to dab off the excess then I sprayed water through 2 different stencils (TCW) and used a paper towel to dab off excess. The water removes colour from the page. 

After this had dried I applied white gesso through a selection of stencils (TCW and Dylusions) across my page. Then I added some stamps (Clear Impressions buck and KaiserCraft & Prima background stamps).

In this photo you can see a water splatter up close - see how the colour has been removed :) 

Lastly I added a title/quote from Colour Me Positive 2016 - week 11.

Love You Granny - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I have another scrapbook page share made using lots of goodies from Scrapping Clearly. 

The photo is of my girls with their Granny - we love you Granny! 

I've used papers from the Heidi Swapp "Hello Gorgeous" collection. I started with a sheet of darker patterned paper - it really works for this page and makes the colours in the photo pop! I fussy cut some of the roses and leaves from the patterned paper sheet - this is a great way to create your own embellishments and use up patterned paper.

I added some of the Hambly Screen Prints rubons strategically across my page then accented with elements from the KaiserCraft collectibles pack and Coco Vanilla Studio wood veneer. 

Always remember to document what happened using your own handwriting where possible! 

Scrapping Clearly products I've used include

Heidi Swapp "hello gorgeous" 12x12 paper pad 
Hambly Screen Prints rubons - antique frames 
Cocoa Vanilla Studio "hello lovely" wood veneer  
 KaiserCraft #me collectables
  
I print my photos on an Epson XP-600 printer.

Your Smile - with Imaginarium Designs!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard. 

I've used an adorable photo of Jessica holding a flower and the perfect chipboard title "Its your smile that captures my heart".

I tried a few different things for this page - stretching out of my comfort zone!  

First I glued (with gel medium) a selection of chipboard flourishes on my page - after considering photo placement. Then I painted white gesso all over my page. I added a stencil and texture paste. Once this had thoroughly dried I sprayed 3 different Tattered Angels chalkboard sprays across the page as well as splats of the same sprays. I dried each colour layer as I went.

I sprayed the title and the Wendy frame with black ColorShine. The other chippies were first painted with white gesso then painted with the same sprays as was used on the background. 

I layered my photo over a tag (with hidden journalling) and some black Prima wire then added clusters of chipboard and flower embellishments. 

I love the textured look of the chippies as part of the background. 

The chipboard frame highlights the face in the photo but doesnt distract from or hide the rest of the photo.
