Tutorial Tuesday - Art journal page with 3D flowers by Melina

Hi!

It´s Melina here on Tutorial Tuesday with a cute little art journal page for you.
I made this page on The Paper Crafting Cyber Crop event on Scrapbooking day a few days ago.
I was one of the Cyber Crop Ambassadors and Bibi was one of the generous sponsors.
I thought it would be fun to share it with you today.


I work on a white/greyboard page from That´s Crafty in A6 size.
I start to apply a layer of gesso. I water down some Distress Oxides and add as a soft 
background layer.


I want some bright colours, so I decide to use my Sharpies (that I have almost never used).
I stamp the flowers and leaves from Crazy Flowers #1 using a alcohol friendly ink pad.


I colour all the flowers and leaves and cut them out. I cut one layer from each flower and build them up using 3D pads. I stamp the quote from the Something Wonderful stamp set and heat emboss it with differend colours of embossing powder.
Finally I add some details with a black Posca pen and my page is done.


Rubber Dance stamps used:
Crazy Flowers #1
Something Wonderful

Others:
Sharpies
Distress oxides
Embossing powder from Fabrika Decoru
Memento Tuxedo black

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
xx Melina

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
