Melodies from Down Under - With Karyn Schultz!

Hi Scrapping Clearly Lovelies,

It's Karyn here, and today I have an art journal page to share with you made using lots of goodies available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.


This page is inspired by the Scrapping Clearly Australia Day Cybercrop Challenge 7 - Melodies from Down Under! We would love for you to join the cybercrop and be in the running to win fabulous prizes - you have until Friday February 1 and you enter by uploading your photo to the album in the facebook group here.



I've chose the band INXS (which I remember fondly from my teenage years) and the song "Don't Change" which is all about remaining true to yourself!

I'm using a Small Dylusions journal. I apply Dylusions paints in Black Marble, White Linen and Post Box Red using a mini blending foam. I chose these colours to match with the classic INXS title. 


Next I did some stencilling using the Dylusions small staggered brickwork, small triangles and TCW mini tile texture stencil


I finished the pages with some pics printed from the internet, some cotton thread, tags and Tim Holtz Idea-ology Small Talk word stickers.


Lastly I wrote the words to the song around the edges of my pages with a Fude Ball pen.



Thanks so much for stopping by

We are Fearless - Cyber Crop layout with Emma.

Welcome to Tuesday everyone.
Today I'm sharing the page I created for my challenge for the Cyber crop.
My challenge was to be inspired by the colours of a Pavlova. I don't know what toppings you have on your Pav but I chose to go with Blue for blueberries Red for the strawberries and Yellow-Orange for mango or nectarines and a white background for the fluffy meringue......OK now I just want some Pav mmmmmm.


For this page I simply started off by applying a flower from the Jane Davenports Build a Bouquet range  and clear embossed them 5 times down the page where I wanted the colour to appear.


Next I started to apply my colours with some Vicki Boutin Water colours to match my Pav colours.
Using a spray of water over the embossed stamps I then applied the paint and flicked excess next to the flower to create interest.
The leaves stamp is from a Inkadinkado range, I also stamped leaves and the same flower I embossed onto white card and fussy cut them out to become my embellishments.


Then I stamped leaves amongst the coloured flowers to give a little dimension.

I chose a couple of Heidi Swapp tags to layer under my image, but painted one of them white to match in with the theme a little better, and cut them down to size so I could have a variety of tag sizes.


After arranging the flowers and leaves I added some Tim Holtz small talk stickers.
A nice simple yet colourful layout is now complete.

You still have until this Saturday to get your SC Cyber Crop creations in. We love seeing all the entries come through.
I'll catch you all next week, until then happy creating!

Easy abstract florals inspired by Alisa Burke

Howdy Bloggers , Lisa here with a Scrapping Clearly mixed media update.


Today I am sharing a quick abstract floral page that was inspired by the amazing 
Check out her wonderful piece below.


I always find its nice to start ones creative day with an easy warm up.
Creating abstract florals allows one to let go and relax into simple shape and colour play.


I started the piece by drawing over my Jane Davenport Journal page with a mega black sharpie, and using a white out correction pen or white posca, jotting down the random thoughts in my head.
Over that, to add some warmth to the background I added TCW Gold Gesso.


Out comes the acrylic paints and using a similar method to Alisa, starting with lighter coloured circles shapes, I worked up to darker shades for the centre piece of the flower.
Then I was all about adding more blooms, in different colour shades.

I quite like the result, for a fun expressive warm up.
Give it a go, Its a wonderful way to relax and create a colourful start to your day.


Ill be back next month with a new mixed media update.
Thanks for dropping by.

Everyday - With Karyn Schultz!

Hi Scrapping Clearly Lovelies,

It's Karyn here, and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using lots of goodies from the Fancy Pants "Golden Days" collection available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

I've used a photo of one of the beautiful sunrises we enjoy at our house! I love seeing the sun rise - especially just as it is coming over the horizon. Spring and Autumn sunrises are the best when the sky is clear and I don't have to get up earlier than 6am lol. Isn't this amazing!!
 

I've used papers, flair and ephemera from the Fancy Pants "Golden Days" collection and added some Cocoa Vanilla Studio cut files.  


I've added some chipboard from my stash and left it in its raw state to complement the tones of the papers.  


Clean and Simple was my motto for this page :)  

 
Thanks so much for stopping by

'Handmade Cards'

Amy with you here today, sharing some handmade cards using the gorgeous 'Jane Davenport' Girl Flowers stamps from the store.

 
It is always nice to have some feminine cards in one's stash, to give to a friend on a special occasion. 
In keeping with the feminine theme I wanted to use nice tones based around the pink pictured. For both cards, I trimmed black cardstock down to C6 size (so they can easily be posted). Then I trimmed the white card to fit within it - and gave it a good coat of clear Gesso. 

Once dried, I prepped the background using the awesome goodies from the store - (fun!!)


For the background, for both cards, I used Dylusions by Dyan Reaveley - Shimmer Sprays in Bubblegum Pink, Crushed Grape, Pure Sunshine, Cut Grass, Calypso Teal - and ColourBlast Colour Shimmer Spray in Bling (love this stuff 😊).

For the white splatters I used Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stain in 'Picket Fence'.

For both of these cards I used Jane Davenport Girl Flowers stamps as the focus. For the background I used Carabelle Studio Art Stamp - 'Edges in my Journal'. I love this stamp set so much!


Finally, for this card, I added some flowers from my stash and used some quotes from Tim Holtz 'Small Talk'.


For the sentiment of the second card I have used the Dina Wakley Media Collage Words from the store. The flowers and medical gauze were remnants from my stash - to complete this card!

Ciao for now! Amy 😊

Fun with colourburst

Hi everyone,

I used the Ken Oliver 12 x 12 art board for this layout and I must say it really reacts well with his powders.

You can find all the powders in the shop here.

First step was to spritz the board with some water, tap on a small amount of each colour, then add more water to get it to react and spread out. Dry off.

I then took a clear embossing dauber, wet the applicator on the top and made some splats. I did one colour at a time, put the embossing powder on and then heat set. Then went onto the next colour.

I then repeated those colours in the chipboard flowers. All chipboard is from KinderKreation.

I stamped some images onto the background using momento moonlight white ink pad.





The Color Burst pigment powders are fun to play with and create great backgrounds, hope you feel inspired to have a play.
