Born To Be Free - Art Journalling With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!!

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

In the DT kit I recently received were lots of fun art supplies. Of course I had to play with them and something I like to do is create a colour swatch so I can see how they look on cardstock. 

Look at all these fun colours - so much glimmer and sparkle! 

For my creation I've used the the small A5 Art-By-Marlene journal. I've first added colour using Prima Watercolor Confections - these give depth of colour. Next I used the Nuvo mica mists (violet lustre, nebula blue, fresh pear) - these give so much shimmer! I applied the Mica mists by using a pipette to place it in a paint palatte then I added it with a paint brush to my page.

   

Once the paints had dried I added some background stamping, then I added a paper doilie and  elements from the Art By Marlene die cut booklet. These die-cuts are amazing. They have all the fabulous images of the Art-By-Marlene collection and they are already coloured in and cut out ready for your page!

Using my finger I applied some Nuvo Glimmer Paste - Amethyst Purple around the edge of my page. In the top left corner I added a diecut and a sticker from the Art-by-Marlene sticker book.  

These tabs from the Art By Marlene die cut booklet are a great extension to your pages. I've hidden the part of it under the doilie. 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Birthday Cards - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!!

Today I have some birthday cards to share with you made using various products available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

I'm also playing along with the September Moodboard Challenge. We would love for you to join the challenge and be in the running to win a Scrapping Clearly voucher. You have until September 30 and you enter by uploading your photo to the album in the facebook group here.

I used the colours in this moodboard as inspiration for my page. For my card background I've used white cardstock and I've added colour using Prima Watercolor Confections.

Next I mixed some "shimmer mauve" Ayeeda shiny powder by 13 Arts with Faber Castell whipped spackle (or any texture paste) then used it through the 13 Arts Round with butterfly stencil.

    

Once this had dried I matted it on some 13 Arts Aqua Flora paper then mounted it on a card base. I completed my card with ScrapFX chipboard, a Tim Holtz Muse Token, a birthday sentiment and a diecut.   

For the second card I matted the painted background on some more 13 Arts Aqua Flora paper and a card base. I completed the card with ScrapFX chipboard (I actually used only a part of it so it would fit on the card), a Finnabair mechanicals Rustic Knobs, a birthday sentiment and a diecut. 

Thanks so much for stopping by
