Yes! by Amanda Hartmann

Hi SC fans!

Playing with pretty patterned papers today! Yes!

Scrapping clearly has you covered for a HUGE range of patterned papers.... Here is what I used on my page:

* Vicki Boutin: Color Study - 12″X12″ – Inspired  and Vicki Boutin: Color Study -12″X12″ – Spheres from this AMAZING range: VB: Color Study

* Bella Blvd – Illustrated Faith – Bright and Brave – 12 x 12 – Count the Ways with so many more bright papers: Bright & Brave

Then I finished with all the things..... Check out the photos for more details...

I love the Inspired paper - the black background is such a perfect piece of paper to start a page! 

For this page I had another old chipboard circle I dug out of my stash. I gesso'd it white and then painted it with Dina Wakley Media – Gloss Sprays – Fuchsia. This circle created the centre of my layout.

I tore a circle of  Count the Ways paper and layered this behind the circle.

Layered and added in the clusters:

 * Dina Wakley Media Collage Tissue Paper 7.5″X10″ 20/Pkg – Text Collage (for the BLAH BLAH BLAHs)

* Dina Wakley Media Chipboard Shapes – Sprigs (for the white chipboard stems/leaves)

* muslin, enamel dots, BLAH button, flowers and bow from my stash

And like all good pages - we need to finish with some splatters! I used: Dina Wakley Media – Gloss Sprays – White

A fun, bright, blah blah blah layout - kinda perfect for a photo of me!

Thanks for looking,

Amanda

Tab Tag Booklet with Belinda Spencer

 Hey Scrapping Clearly fans!

It's Belinda here today with a late post! I have a cute little booklet to share with you featuring the Tab Tags by Studio Light Art By Marlene Essentials and lots of other fabulous goodies from the store.

I grabbed 6 tags from the pad and proceeded to colour them using Prima Art Philosophy Concentrated Watercolours. I spritzed one tag to start with using quite a lot of water and then dropped the watercolour onto the surface. It's kind of mesmerizing watching the watercolour bloom and spread. I added three different colours to the first tag. Then, because the tag was so wet, I placed another tag on top of it to colour that one too. 

There was quite a lot of excess watercolour that squeezed out the sides so I used some book paper to swipe it up and made myself some instant collage fodder.

Next I grabbed some of the awesome Dina Wakley Stickyback Canvas Tape. I cut three lengths, removed the backing and stuck them to some plastic packaging. I spritzed them with water and added the same watercolours. I left them to dry in a sunny spot. These are what I used to bind my tag book together.

Once completely dry, I stamped and stencilled the tape. I used Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink for the stamping and a heavy weight gesso for the stencilling.

Next, I added some stencilling to the tags using the same gesso and stencils.

Here is the cover of my tag booklet. I added some collage using torn pieces of the collage fodder I created earlier and also torn pieces of Art By Marlene Collage Paper. I also collaged on a cute girl from the Art By Marlene Paper Elements Books (Mint and Lime). I used Dina Wakley Ultra Thick Gel Medium for the glue. I also added some stamping and doodling. I used a Stabilo watersoluble pencil to scribble around the girl and then activated with a wet paintbrush to emphasize her and set her apart from the background.

I used pretty much the same techniques for all of the pages using different cute die cuts from the Paper Elements books. I used Posca Pens, acrylic paint and Lyra Watercolour Crayons to add detail to the backgrounds. The quote stickers are from the Studio Light Jenine's Mindful Art Collection Time To Relax Stickers.

Bright & Bold, by Amanda Hartmann

Hi all,

And happy Wednesday! I love being the mum to daughters - especially when they dress up for a photo shoot. Gorgeous Abby in bright clothes that made it perfect for this months mood board!

I went a little brighter than the mood board (with the pink)- how could I not? I also pulled in circle designs to mimic the plates in the mood board.

Key Scrapping Clearly products:

* Dina Wakeley Acrylic paints

* Dylusion Acrylic paints

*Amy Tangerine Inflated ephemera

*Prima Art pebbles

I drew some circles on white cardstock and painted them, then used the signature Lisa Oxley technique: "wipe back some colour through a stencil with a baby wipe". This accounts for the embossed floral images you can see in the pink.

I hand cut the circles, and with left over pieces, I used a circle punch to punch out more painted circles.

I layered the circles, painted some extra blue and the machine stitched (in black) around it all.

With the background done, I then layered the photo with other stickers, flowers and embellishments.

And of course, I added paint splatters!

The puffy Amy Tangerine hearts and sparkly Prima art pebbles were also easy finishing touches.

Thanks for looking today!

I hope you take time to join the challenge this month!

Nuture your Creation -Art Journaling with Lisa Oxley

Howdy Bloggers, Lisa Here with a Scrapping Clearly Sunday update.

Today I am sharing a few pages that really are just a combination of a few simple elements.. Im not creating masterpieces, but I am loving the play and having fun with the process. It is really so easy, I couldn't stop at just one.

There is a hyperlapse process video of this baby on my You Tube channel if you can find it.

the linking on this new blogger format is getting the better of my old school computer skills.

These pages work beautifully with any journal, white, craft or black.

If you have checked out the pages above and the video on my you tube channel, you can see that I am really only using paint and scrap papers, the odd stamp and stencil, then simple mark making and scribbles to finish off.

Anyone can nail these sort of pages, I engourage you to give it a whirl.

Enchanted by Men with Wings - Art Journal with Lisa Oxley

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

Today I am sharing a few pieces from my "Men With Wings" series.

If you know my work you will know that if I can fit some wings on a figure, its probably gone to happen. Big shout out to Tim Holtz addressing the wings issue and releasing wings that I feel give new life a piece, adding tweak of whimsy.

I always feel once I add wings to a male figure,

 It changes the way I look at them.

Hence the ''Men With Wings'' series was born.

Link to Tim Holtz Wings

 I usually start with an image from 

THE LONELY PLANET

THE TRAVEL BOOK.

and work it in to my journal somehow.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is enchanted by the thought of "men with wings".

Quick hyperlapse You Tube video from My #100dayproject for the above piece.

Thanks a bunch for dropping by the Scrapping Clearly blog today.

I hope your spending this time, giving the gift of creativity to yourself.

I'll be back asap with a new mixed media update.

 Remain Positive, Make Art and Stay Safe.
