A journal spread tutorial with Butterfly girl by Saadia Nawaz

Hi Everyone
Saadia here.
I want to share with you an art journal spread today.

Let's start our journal spread.

 Step 1:
I applied a coat of white gesso to my journal pages. Gesso prepares the surface for acrylic paints.

 Step 2:
I applied Acrylic paints with my fingers and a make up sponge. I applied layers until I was happy with the result.


Step 3:
Next, I did a bit of background stamping with Art defined, Grungy stuff and Think again stamp sets.
I also heat embossed the circles from Grungy stuff samp set at the edges of my spread.



Step 4:
I stamped my Butterfly girl #2 on a white cardstock. I colored her with watercolor pencils. After that I fussy cut her and glued her on to my page.
I also stamped and fussy cut stars from Grungy stuff stamp set

 Step 5:
I stamped the sentiment from Think again stamp set onto my page.

 Step 6:
Added a bit of highlights with white Gelly roll pen and shadows with a charcoal pencil.

That's all for now

 Thank you for your precious time. 


A reminder that we have a challenge that goes all month on our face book page which you can find here.

It is always ANYTHING GOES/ or a colour combo if you wish.

 Take care and keep crafting

Very pretty pages. Your step by step is very clear and makes it look easy. I don't usually do JP's but you tempt me to try. Butterfly Girl is rocking this layout. Hugz

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
