Good Times - With Scrapping Clearly!

 Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly!  

 

 

I'm playing along with the March moodboard challenge. We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Scrapping Clearly store voucher. You have until March 31st and you need to upload your challenge here. 

 

 

Here is my completed page.

 

I started by painting Prima watercolour confections Tropicals on heavy weight white cardstock (using a painting with Plastic technique and splatters). Then I added lots of Cocoa Vanilla Studio Daydream collection 6x8 papers. I fussy cut the rainbows and butterflies from 2 of the pages. I also added a Scrap FX chipboard element under the photo. The page was completed with some Tim Holtz word stickers and using a Fude Ball pen to draw around the edge of the page.

 

 Here are some close-ups of the page.

 

 

 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Moodboard Art Journalling - With Bee Arty!

Hi Lovelies!

Today I have an art journal page to share with you made using lots of fun products available from Bee Arty.    

   

I'm playing along with the March creative challenge which is a fabulous moodboard this month. We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Bee Arty store voucher. You have until March 31 and you need to upload your challenge to the appropriate album in the facebook group.  

 

I'm using a cotton watercolour page in my DWM art journal. I start by applying Colour Mica Powder in Polar, Royalty and Rose Petal to my page using a painting with plastic technique. You can either mix the mica powders with water in a paint palate or I have mixed the mica with gum arabic and created my own pan paint set.

  

  

 Next I've added some stencilling using the Scripted stencil (from the Love and Grace collection) and Just Blue Colour Paste. This Colour paste was starting to go a bit thick so I carefully mixed some Isopropyl alcohol with it to thin it down - just add a few drops at a time and mix until blended and the consistency you like.

 

  

 Then I added some stamping using the "All Class" stamp set from the Trendsetter collection.

 

  

I created my own floral embellishments by stamping flowers from the Floral Delights II stamp set onto white cardstock. 

 

  

I then painted the flowers using the Colour Mica Powder in Polar, Royalty and Rose Petal to coordinate with the moodboard. Next I fussy cut the flowers to use on my page.

 

 

 Here is my finished page. I used a picture I found on Pinterest to add to the focal point.

I've added some diecuts using the String leaves metal dies and sweet floral metal die and white cardstock.

 

 

 You can see that I strategically placed the background stamping in the areas I intended to embellish.

 

I used a palate knife to add some Snow White Colour Paste to the center of each flower for sparkle.

Love With All Your Heart - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly!  

I'm playing along with the February moodboard challenge. We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Scrapping Clearly store voucher. You have until February 28th and you need to upload your challenge here. 

 

  

I started by painting Prima watercolour confections Decadent Pies and The Classics on a sheet of Heidi Swapp Emerson Lane Restoration paper (using a painting with Plastic technique and splatters). 

 

 Next I added some stamping (using Archival black ink).

 

 

 Then stencilling using an Aall and Create stencil and Inka Gold gold paste.

 

 

Here is my final assembled page. 

 

 

I decided to cut the background down and mount it on a sheet of Heidi Swapp Emerson Lane Sweet Nothings paper. This added more interest to the page and helped stabilise the buckling that occurred when adding the mixed media.

 

I embellished the page using gauze coloured using the Prima watercolour confections, paper flowers, metal embellishments, hessian, tags from the Heidi Swapp Magnolia Jane tag pack, and Tim Holtz Idea-ology word stickers. 

 

Here are some close-ups of the page.

 

 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy - With Scrapping Clearly!

   Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly! 

 

 

 I started by sewing a rectangle and border on heavy weight white cardstock . I added zig-zag and straight stitch for interest.

 

  

 To create the background I use Heidi Swapp Color Shine (mustard and rose) and Prima Art Philosophy Ginger watercolour concentrate. I painted it on in places then added splatters.

 

 Here is my final assembled page.

 

 

I embellished the page using the Vicki Boutin Lets Wander Collection . I used a polariod cut from the "Picture Perfect" paper and fussy cut flowers from the "Sunshine and smiles" paper.

  

I used a title from the Heidi Swapp wood veeer word pack and enamel dots from my stash.

 

 Thanks so much for stopping by!
