Like A Dream - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!

Today I have an art journal page that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly!  

 

 

I'm playing along with the April 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 April 30th and you need to upload your challenge here. 

 

These pages are created on a burlap page in my 8x10 Dina Wakley Media Journal. Once again I find these pages a challenge to use - So I decided to create some tags to attach to the page.

 

I've use a tag that I added stencilling using Distress Oxides in colours that coordinated with the moodboard - I used Cracked Pistachio, squeezed lemonade, and worn lipstick. These were sponged through an Art By Marlene stencil.  

 

 I added a photo I found on Pinterest, I matted it on some tags from a Heidi Swapp Embellishment kit. Lastly I added some white diecuts,  Tim Holtz Idea-ology Snarky quotes and ScrapFX Flowery Bits. I doodled around the edges of all the tags with a black Fude Ball pen.

 

 Here is my completed page.

 

 Here are some close-ups of the page.

Moodboard Art Journalling - With Scrapping Clearly!

  Hi Lovelies!

Today I have an art journal page that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly!  

 

    

 I'm playing along with the April 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 April 30th and you need to upload your challenge here.

 

These pages are created on a calico fabric page in my 8x10 Dina Wakley Media Journal. I've looked at this fabric page for some time now but been hesitant to use it because the fabric can be more challenging to use than cotton watercolour (my favourite surface). But once you get into using it and just go with the flow it was a lot of fun :)

 

 I started by applying clear gesso to the page (the gesso will stop the paint/ink bleeding through the fabric) then added some Distress Oxide reinkers in colours that coordinated with the moodboard - I used Cracked Pistachio, fossilised amber, and worn lipstick.

   

Next I sponged these same inks through an Art By Marlene stencil to add more interest to the background.

 

 

 Then I added  Art Extravagance Old Silver Icing Paste through another background stencil - these pastes are divine!

Lately I added background stamping.

  

To complete the page I added a photo I found on Pinterest, I matted it on some Heidi Swapp Color Magic Notes that I added the same colour Distress Oxides too, and a tag from a Heidi Swapp Embellishment kit. Lastly I added some white gauze, white diecuts,  Tim Holtz Idea-ology Snarky quotes and Tim Holtz Transparent Wings.

 

 Here is my completed page.

 

  

 Here are some close-ups of the page.

Happy 13th Birthday - With Scrapping Clearly!

  Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a card that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly. The card was for my daughters 13th birthday - she is growing up too fast!

 

 

To create the background I used heavy weight white cardstock and painted Prima watercolour confections Pastel Dreams (browns and pinks with highlights of yellow) across the card. When this had dried I added splatters of each colour. 

 

Then I added sparkly stencilling using an Aall and Create stencil and Bo Bunny Rose Gold Glitter Paste.

 

I matted the card background on some pink paper from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Daydream collection 6x8 paper pack then mounted this on a 14cm x 14cm card base. Lastly I found some chipboard and white gauze that I painted with the Prima watercolour confections Pastel Dreams to coordinate.   

Here is the finished card.

 

  Thanks so much for stopping by!
