Dream a little dream - A dreamy Art Journal Page

Hello and welcome, Anita from the Design Team here today to teach you a lesson..... No, I'm just kidding, ha ha.

What I really want to do is show you my art journal page. (I'm certainly in an art journal flow these days :-) ) And I want to give you some ideas and tips along the way.



My first tips for you: use another stamp and stamp inside a bigger stamp, as I did inside the petals in the smallest flowers:

The flowers are colored with Distress Ink.


The word dream is embossed with blue embossing powder.

My second tip for you my friends: Make your own washi tape by stamping image on Dina Wakley's Media Tape, as I did on the tape you see at the picture below:


Here I used the star stamps from the Textured Flowers set and Distress Ink in various colors

After I colored all the flowers I embossed them with clear embossing powder.



The beautiful lady got some red cheeks. And I used blue and black Distress Ink around the edges. The blue background is painted with watercolours.

My third tip for you is: When you make a background in your journal or on tags, make many, then you have finished backgrounds for later use and you can start on the fun part right away!


Do not know about you, but I get a little dreamy looking at this art journal page :-)

Stamps I've used:
Textured Flowers
Da vinci woman #1
Vintage Script

Please visit the new Rubber Dance shop, it's awesome, it's just like a candy shop.

And last but not least I want to remind you of the challenge which runs until February 28th, where the theme is Layers. Click here to join the Challenge!

Thank you for visiting!


Hugs, Anita

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between
