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

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

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:

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but
