Christmas in July Challenges - With Scrapping Clearly!

  Hi Lovelies!

Did you join in on last weekends Christmas in July Cybercrop? Today I have the four scrapbook pages that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly! 

The first page was for Challenge 1: Traditional Christmas Colours.  

 

I've used a monochromatic red colour scheme on a heavy white cardstock background. I created a watercolour background with Prima watercolour confections, then added stencilling with Nuvo Glimmer paste - Red. My photo is matted on papers from the 13@rts Unforgettable collection.

 

This next page was for Challenge 4: Choose your own Christmas colours.

 

I've used a monochromatic green colour scheme on a heavy white cardstock background. I created a watercolour background with Prima watercolour confections, then added stencilling with Nuvo Glimmer paste - Red. My photo is matted on papers from the Heidi Swapp Old School collection.I've also used Heidi Swapp puffy stickers and words.

 

This next page was for Challenge 4: Christmas colours on a non-Christmas layout

 

On a heavy white cardstock background I've used a palate knife to paint Dylusions shimmer paints in Postbox red, fresh lime, and pure sunshine. Then I added stencilling with white texture paste. My photo is matted on papers from the 13@rts Unforgettable collection.

 

This last page was for Challenge 5: Inspiration Tree

 

On a heavy white cardstock background I've stamped a variety of circle stamps using Tim Holtz Distress Ink ink pads in fossilised amber, kitsch flamingo and broken china. I then added splatters of each of these colours. I added stencilling using Bo Bunny glitter paste. To embellish I used Heidi Swapp words and clear alphas.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cybercrop Challenges - With Scrapping Clearly!

 Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a mini tag album page that I created for the Australia Day Cybercrop using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly! 

 

   

 I used the Heidi Swapp mini tag album for this project. This album has lots of fun tags and pockets to use.

 

 The first challenge was "What's your state". South Australia had red, blue and yellow as the colours. I changed this up a bit and used DWM acrylic paints in Sedona, Marine and Gilt to paint a Heidi Swapp frame embellishment.

   

 I then used a sharpie to colour some Heidi Swapp ghost alphas.

 

  

I wanted to do some gel printing so I used a small round Gel Press and painted (with my fingers) DWM acrylic paints in Sedona, Marine and Gilt. I did a facebook live on the day showing how I did the Gel Printing and a flip through of my mini album, you can see that here.

  

 Then I applied the gel press to one of the tags in the mini album. I also did more of this on smooth lightweight white cardstock.

 

 

 Here is the first of my finished pages/tags for the first challenge. I love how it turned out. I also added stamping and stencilling, and cut out some shapes from old book paper. Lastly I added splatters of DWM gloss sprays in Marine and Gilt.

 

 

 The mini tag album had blue/grey colours, so I also did some gel printing to coordinate using DWM acrylic paints in white, peacock, turquoise, and marine with pops of magenta, lemon and lime.

 

 

 How cool are all these prints! I also used a small square Gel Press as well as the small circle.

 

 

 

 These next pages/tags are for Challenge 2 "Dreamtime" where I used lots of dot inspired stamps and stencils.

 

 

 Challenge 3 "Bucket List"

 

 

 Challenge 4 "My Backyard" 

 

 

  Challenge 5 "My Favourite Place"

 

 Challenge 6 "My Hometown"

   

I hope you were able to find time to create for the Cybercrop, I had a lot of fun creating in this mini tag album.

 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Art Creative Friendship - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a page in my Art Journal that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly!

This was a page I created for the recent cybercrop where I was Inspired by the creations of Emma Zappone. In particular I was inspired by the fact that she doesnt use photos and she often leaves lots of white space.

I've used cotton rag watercolour page in my 8x10 Dina Wakley Media Journal. I started by adding some Colour Blast inks to the page

Next I added stencilling using Colour Blast Pastes. I've kept my colour palate in greens and blues to coordinate with the picture I chose, and added highlights of orange.

Here is my finished page.

I found the picture on Pinterest and printed it out on photo paper. I've matted some old book paper under 2 corners of the photo. 

I've added Tim Holtz wings and Tim Holtz small talk word stickers. I've added doodling around the edge of the page and the word stickers using a Fude ball pen. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Home - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!!

Today I have an art journal page to share with you made using various products available in the Scrapping Clearly Store. 

I've used my Small Dylusions journal and created a background using Prima Watercolor Confections.

Next I added torn strips of washi from my stash, then I added some background stamping, and I drew around the edge of the page with a Fude Ball pen.

 As a feature I added some punched leaves and a butterfly die cut. I coloured some white muslin also using the Prima Watercolor Confections.

Lastly I added some stickers from the Art-by-Marlene sticker book.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by
