Inspire, Create, Dream: Art Journal Page by Lisa

Image
Hi dear friends! Lisa today to share with you my new art journal spread....Inspire, Create, Dream.... I started with a little collage of patterned papers, then I brushed white gesso to blend the papers into the background. So I took my favourite watercolors and I colored my page with pink, blue and yellow leaving some white spaces to give more brightness to the page. Then I used stamps from Grungy Stuff , Grungy Borders and Mix A Sentiment #1 with archival inks. On a piece of watercolor paper I stamped some flowers and leaves from Loose Florals #1 stamp set and I colored theme with watercolors. On a piece of black cardstock I stamped some inspired words from Journal Words set and I embossed with white powder. I made some splatters with white liquid acrylic, I let it dry as well and I glued my paper embellishments. I used a black watercolor pencil around the inspired words and as final touch I made other splatters with gold watercolor Here are th...

Mushroom Card by Dot

Image
Hi everyone, In an uncertain time it is good to keep doing what you love, when you can, like crafting. And to remember to be as positive as possible. So this card is all about expressing that thought. The process was fun for this card.   And it is a nice easy one for you if you'ld like to give it a go. This is from my stash of gelli-plate practice bits. Do you keep your trials too? I've had it for over 2 years and thought it would work well with mushrooms. The background is a little stenciling into a couple of corners. The stamping uses stamps from Collage Elements and Gather Together.   As your collection of Rubber Dance stamps grows, so will your collection of extra stamps that are idea for adding a little interest to your backgrounds. The mushrooms from Fun-gie Mushroom have been catching my eye for some time. They look so realistic!  I've stamped a few of them out with Distress Oxides using my stamping...

Beautiful Feather Card by Samantha Read

Image
Hello, there are times when we need to make a quick card for someone so I'd like to share with you this card that can easily be adapted to any occasion just by changing the sentiment. For my card I used the Textured Feathers , Bold and Beautiful   and Small Grungy Butterflies  stamp sets. One of the things I love about all the Rubber Dance stamp sets is that they all work together so well and you can use just one stamp from a set at a time or all of them. You can't go wrong! I used Sizzix dies for the faux postage stamp and for the added accents. Distress Inks and watercolours were used to colour and I almost always clear emboss my main images to keep them crisp and clear during the colouring process. Finishing touches were added with a white pen and black ink splats. I added metallic accents to give some contrast and shine. I do hope you like it, thanks for looking and I wish you a lovely day,  Samantha :) Textured Feathers S...

Hello Everyone, Shilpa here, Today, I have my next Journal Page to share with you. This journal page has lots of layers of colors, texture and stamping. Here is step by step tutorial.. I already had color onto my page from previous projects. I adhered old book page pieces randomly on the surface and tag.
