Catching up with my ATC's - with Emma Zappone and with VIDEO

Happy Thursday all! 
Em with you today, popping in for a quick share and a catch up.
How are you all going with the ATC's? They pull you out of the comfort zone, don't they?
They do me, and I love it!
I have found that I love that they don't need to be complicated and that is very freeing, plus I'm still creating when time is poor.
Here is my take on week 5's - 'Mythical Creatures'.

I knew I wanted to add this awesome resin piece, but still wanting to use some 49&Market (as this is my challenge for the ATC's).
I have a video for these creations so you can see them coming to life.

I used some Rub ons and Distress Oxides for the background. The wings are 49&Market and the legs are from Tim Holtz's paper dolls that I cut off. 
So I created my own mythical being.

Week 6 ATC - 'Under Water World' got me a little more stuck. 
And then it came to me - ABM!!!

So This started with 49&Market Rub ons again, using the music notes, as I thought it could represent a 'sirens' song. 
Then i smooshed oxides onto the background, quick and easy.
Then started to layer my ABM diecuts, creating a bright, under sea vibe.
This is also on the video.
I hope you keep joining in, as i love seeing your interpretations to the themes.

Till next week, Em xx

Good Times - With Karyn Schultz!

  Hi Scrapping Clearly Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly!  

 

 

I'm playing along with the March moodboard challenge. We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Scrapping Clearly store voucher. You have until March 31st and you need to upload your challenge here. 

 

 

Here is my completed page.

 

I started by painting Prima watercolour confections Tropicals on heavy weight white cardstock (using a painting with Plastic technique and splatters). Then I added lots of Cocoa Vanilla Studio Daydream collection 6x8 papers. I fussy cut the rainbows and butterflies from 2 of the pages. I also added a Scrap FX chipboard element under the photo. The page was completed with some Tim Holtz word stickers and using a Fude Ball pen to draw around the edge of the page.

 

 Here are some close-ups of the page.

 

 

 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cybercrop Challenges - With Karyn Schultz!

 Hi Scrapping Clearly Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have a mini tag album page that I created for the Australia Day Cybercrop using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly! 

 

   

 I used the Heidi Swapp mini tag album for this project. This album has lots of fun tags and pockets to use.

 

 The first challenge was "What's your state". South Australia had red, blue and yellow as the colours. I changed this up a bit and used DWM acrylic paints in Sedona, Marine and Gilt to paint a Heidi Swapp frame embellishment.

   

 I then used a sharpie to colour some Heidi Swapp ghost alphas.

 

  

I wanted to do some gel printing so I used a small round Gel Press and painted (with my fingers) DWM acrylic paints in Sedona, Marine and Gilt. I did a facebook live on the day showing how I did the Gel Printing and a flip through of my mini album, you can see that here.

  

 Then I applied the gel press to one of the tags in the mini album. I also did more of this on smooth lightweight white cardstock.

 

 

 Here is the first of my finished pages/tags for the first challenge. I love how it turned out. I also added stamping and stencilling, and cut out some shapes from old book paper. Lastly I added splatters of DWM gloss sprays in Marine and Gilt.

 

 

 The mini tag album had blue/grey colours, so I also did some gel printing to coordinate using DWM acrylic paints in white, peacock, turquoise, and marine with pops of magenta, lemon and lime.

 

 

 How cool are all these prints! I also used a small square Gel Press as well as the small circle.

 

 

 

 These next pages/tags are for Challenge 2 "Dreamtime" where I used lots of dot inspired stamps and stencils.

 

 

 Challenge 3 "Bucket List"

 

 

 Challenge 4 "My Backyard" 

 

 

  Challenge 5 "My Favourite Place"

 

 Challenge 6 "My Hometown"

   

I hope you were able to find time to create for the Cybercrop, I had a lot of fun creating in this mini tag album.

 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Soulful Lifetime - Art Journalling With Karyn Schultz!

 Hi Scrapping Clearly Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have an art journal page that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly!

 

 

I'm playing along with the August moodboard challenge. We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Scrapping Clearly store voucher. You have until August 31 and you need to upload your challenge here.

 

 

This page is created in my Black Square Dylusions Journal. I used a palate knife to swipe Platinum modelling paste, Art Anthology Reef Velvet dimensional paint, and Art Anthology Vegas Gold Sorbet dimensional paint across the page. 

  

 

Then I added splatters of Heidi Swapp ColorShine in Tinsel, Gold and Navy.

 

 

 I stamped the Dina Wakley Good Idea stamp set on white cardstock then painted using Prima Watercolor Confections Classics and Decadent Pies. These flowers were fussy cut to use on my page.

 

 

 Here are some close ups of my page. I found an image on Pinterest that was inspired by the colours of the moodboard.

 

 

I added some Tim Holtz Idea-ol-ogy Small Talk Word Stickers, white gauze and a Heidi Swapp Acetate word.    

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I'm playing along with the June moodboard challenge. We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Scrapping Clearly store voucher. You have until June 30 and you need to upload your challenge here.

  Next I add some stamping using and black Archival ink and Heidi Swapp Pineapple Crush stamp set.

 

  

 Here is my finished page. I've taken a sheet of Heidi Swapp Art Walk Casita paper and Locals Only paper and torn triangular sections to go at the top right and bottom left of the page as shown. I've kept the middle section of each piece of torn paper to use on another project I will show you next week.
 

  

Underneath my photo I have used a doilie and added a Heidi Swapp paper flower under the top right and bottom left of the photo. I've also added a Dear Lizzy flamingo paper clip, a Sticker from the HS Emerson Lane sticker sheet and white glitter alphas from the HS Emerson Lane Thickers alphas. 

 

I've used HS Emerson Lane alpha stencils to create a title.

Moodboard Art Journalling - 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.

I'm also playing along with the January Moodboard Challenge. We would love for you to join the challenge and be in the running to win a Scrapping Clearly voucher. You have until January 31 and you enter by uploading your photo to the album in the facebook group here.

 

For my creation I've used the the small A5 Art-By-Marlene journal. I've first added colour using Art By Marlene Bold and Bright watercolor pan paints. The page already had a stamp on it that was blurred so I painted over it and aimed to cover it with another element.   

Next I added a torn strip of Art by Marlene collage paper. I love these papers - you could even use them to completely cover your page! I added this strip to frame the edge of the page and also to cover up the base of the tab (from the Art By Marlene die cut booklet). Next I added a paper doilie and "flower lady" element from the Art By Marlene die cut booklet. I also took 4 leaves from the same die cut booklet and added them to look like wings. These die-cuts are amazing - so quick and easy to use!

Lastly I added some stickers from the Art-by-Marlene sticker book. 

 

I hope you can join us for this months challenge - maybe you have some of these fun Art By Marlene products to use too :) 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by
