Two Journal Spreads

Hello Everyone,
Shilpa here,

I have two journal spreads to share with you today!!



This is very easy-peasy journal spread. I worked on watercolor paper here. 
For the background, I used two different shades of yellow!! 
On another white paper, I stamped beautiful butterflies from Butterfly Trio stamp set. I colored them with watercolors. Fussy cut them and adhered on the background. 
Further on the background, I stamped these cute flowers from Beautiful You stamp set.
I also stamped sentiments from same Beautiful you stamp set.




This journal spread background is created with lots of layers acrylic paints, inks, stencils and Rubber Dance stamps. 
I have used one of my favorite Da Vinci Woman #3 stamp. I had stamped her image on circle card stock colored her and glued on the surface.
"Believe you can.. Fly" sentiment is from Rubber Dance "Affirmations" stamp set.

Working in my art journals with colors and stamps always makes me happy!!
What about you... what is your "go to" creation..? I would love to read that!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Beautiful, Shilpa! Such lovely, happy colours. Two different pages and both gorgeous in their own way. Love the texts you have stamped, very uplifting.
I have two "go to" creations that always make me happy to work on, one is making backgrounds with inks and paint (messy and fun), the other is colouring in stamped images, which I find very relaxing.
Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous aj pages! ♥ ♥ ♥

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

Image
Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop: ...

Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

Image
Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...

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...
