'Dream Big' - with Emma Zappone PLUS VIDEO

Hello there!
Em with you today. Sharing my take on this months moodboard.
Plus I have a video for this one too 😀

I hope you enjoy the video 

This piece has many different products used together.
Starting firstly with the awesome Imagery Sheets by Lucky Findings 
I used one from the Monarch Blue sheet.

Then I started my background.
Choosing a Tim Holtz collage paper and of course a mix of 49 & Market Rub ons.

You can see the whole canvas come together in my video.

Still plenty of time to join in the fun with all the challenges here at ScrappingClearly.
So much to choose from, I'm sure your creativity will be flowing.

I will catch you all again very soon.
Happy crafting.

'Graceful' - with Emma

Happy Thursday friends,

Today I have created something more my style and away from the neon colours of last week 😜

This canvas features papers from the Lucky Findings 'Urban Forge' Collection and one of the wonderful images from the Lucky Findings Imagery - 'Beauty's Essence'

It was great getting a little grungy, using up some of my stash and layering rub-ons with stencils and paper elements.

 I hope you are just a little inspired just as I was creating this project.

Catch you all again soon.

'Oeh, LA LAH!' - by Emma Zappone

Howdy!
It's Thursday, so It's my turn to share today.
I thought I would attempt the Moodboard for the month, but wowzers 😲😬 so much Fluro!!!

This is what I ended up creating.

I decided to play in my Art Journal, this way I felt more in control.
Check out the board here....

I opted to use one of the awesome new images from the Neon Alice Imagery sheets.
They are so cool, but oh so bright!
To say this was out of my comfort zone was an understatement. So much neon and grunge.

I started with some Rub ons and then added some Dina Wakley acrylic paints in the Fluro colours. I added these with a palette knife, overlapping the colours as I went.

I used a brick wall stencil with some black Gesso, just lightly, to add the effect over the fluro paints.
I flicked a lot of paint around to, to add that extra grunge to the page.

I scribbled on the background to look like Graffiti, this was a little nerve racking, but I just went for it.
Same with the borders around the page, drawing a loose line and adding scribble. 
As scary as it was, it was also very enjoyable and freeing.

I painted over the butterfly wings with the fluro paints and added lines and more scribble to them.
This broke up the background with the focal image very well.

I hope you find some inspo from my project and have a play.
I look forward to sharing again soon.

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

'Always Stay Curious' by Emma Zappone

Happy Thursday friends.
Today I have cheated a little and I'm sharing a project that I made LIVE for the Aus. Day cyber crop.
It suits this months Palette Play really well, so I thought why not share.

This project titled 'Always stay Curious' features mostly 49&Market products, which you can find in Kylie's amazing store.
I also added some Tim Holtz leaves and papers that blended in with the 49&Market.

I love digging around my stash to see what will compliment each other.
Plus it's always a great way of using up pieces that we seem to accumulate.

Why not join in the fun and create something that matches this months Palette.

We would love to see what you create.

Catch you all again soon.

'Dreamy Landscapes' ATC by Emma Zappone PLUS Video

 Welcome everyone to another ATC share from me 🤗
I must admit I am having so much fun playing with these tiny cards.

And I've had fun creating these fast little videos of them coming together too.....

Dreamy Landscapes had me scratching my head a bit, wondering how I could incorporate my own challenge of using 49&Market products and using them with this theme. 
So came the concept of peering through a window to the outside 'landscape'.

I started by painting the card with some ABM acrylics in greens and blues, (you can see this process better in the video)
And then proceeded to layer some 49&Market Rub-ons to add dimension to view from my 'window'.

Next came some layered die cut elements, again from a couple of different 49&Market collections, using up more from the stash.
The window is an old Tim Holtz one, I love that you can use these for so many different types of projects.

I hope you get a small slice of inspiration to join in with the ATC challenge.
I look forward to seeing all your creations.

Catch you again next week.

'Little Details' by Emma Zappone plus VIDEO

Hello everyone,

Today I share a small project with you.
You are all enjoying the awesome ATC challenge that has begun. And I too have made it a goal to get creating also. ATC's are not something I am super familiar with.
I love creating small, but this is all new sorts of small.

And I did create a little video.....

This weeks prompt is 'Self Portrait', and this made me think hard.
So I decided I would see it in a different way.
I love the small details on my creations and so because ATC's are small, I have decided to use small elements on my ATC.

I started simple with some Distress Oxides, and decided to follow this months Monochromatic theme as well. And then added 49&Market rub-ons. These have become a huge part of my details in my art and so it was only fitting to create with these. 

And I finished it off with a butterfly and some splash ink.
It's pretty rare not to find a butterfly on my creations, so it was a fitting representation of my self portrait also.

I do hope my video was a little bit of inspo also.

I hope that you join us creating these little pops of art.
Make sure to add them on the FB page so we can all see your magic.

I will catch you all again soon

Em xx
