Hello Friends.
Em with you today, sharing a little Art Journal page with you.
It features some of the New Foundations Fragments papers.

I also added a few layers of rub-ons for my background and then added Distress oxides to add colour to compliment the focal image of our 'Hatter'.

I hope you get the chance to play with some of these papers also.

'Be Yourself' - with Emma Zappone

Hello Everyone!

It's been a little time between projects for me, but I'm popping in to share a mood board inspired canvas with you today. You have all enjoyed an amazing Long Weekend of creativity with all the awesome challenges, but have you had a chance to play with the April Mood board yet?

Here is my take....

And here is the beautiful Mood board.....

The colours are simply stunning and totally my vibe!
I also used a couple of sheets from the 'Industrial Revolutions' Foundations Pack.

I focused on the circles from one of the sheets, this really helped my composition come together well.

I even repurposed some packaging from some ribbon I had used up.

The fabrics used are also from Lucky Findings Fabric Shreds I have used some from Earthly Riches & Very Peri, I love the softness they add to a project.

I just adore this months board and the it was a joy to create this project after quite some time of not feeling any creativity.

I hope you get the chance to create along with this challenge too.

I love seeing all your creations.

Till next time, Stay Creative!

'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.

'Secret To Everyday Things' with Emma Zappone

Welcome!
Em with you all today 💛

To say that I love the Lucky Findings Imagery Sheets would be an understatement. These sheets of  inspiration are just perfect for any project you wish to create. Here I used the 'Map To Beauty' images.

This canvas has been created with a variety of Rub-ons and Tim Holtz products.
The colour tones are so very me and these images just spoke to me as soon as I saw them.

I kept my usual multi dimension layering to a minimum, which was very freeing. I feel this might be my way of creating this year.

So many options to tell a story.

I hope this brings a little inspiration to your day.

Em xx
