Art Journalling with Marlene!

Hi Lovelies!!

Today I have some art journalling to share with you. This was a "Just for fun" project where I was inspired by the Art-By-Marlene "Artsy Fartsy Summer Fit" challenges.

Here is a list of the challenges and you can enter via the facebook group here. This page is for the Week 1 challenge "in the holiday mood" where I was inspired by summer memories - as it is winter here in Australia.

Here are my supplies. I've used the small Art-By-Marlene journal (I love love love this size!), some of her stencils, stamps and watercolour pan paints, as well as some bright flourescent acrylic paints and pencils inspired by here recent classes here in Australia. 

Here is the page I created. I've done lots of layering of paints and stencils and toned down my bright background with a cool blue summer colour. Then I've added stamping with the Bohemian flowers stamp set and whimsical houses stamp set. 

I added colour to my stamped images with watercolour paints. Then I added more background stamping and doodling/mark making. 

I love the word quotes from the Art-By-Marelene sticker book. 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Love - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the 13 Arts Aqua-Flora collection and other various goodies available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

I was attracted to the 13 Arts Aqua Flora "Rosiness" paper so I used the colours in this as inspiration for my background page. For my base I've used a sheet of white cardstock. I added some background colour using Prima Watercolor Confections and a painting with plastic technique underneath in the area my photo. 

In the first photo you can see the colour swatch I created. I always do this when selecting my paint colours. And the advantage of watercolours is that you can always mix them to get the perfect shade. 

    

This is my completed page.

Around my photo I added clusters of tags and paper strips cut from the 13 Arts Aqua-Flora collection papers. I also added some chipboard, glass elements, flowers, diecuts, and hessian from my stash.

I fussy cut one of the flowers from the 13 Arts Aqua-Flora collection papers and used it as a feature on my page. I also added some Tim Holtz small talk word stickers.
