"Moments" by Amanda Hartmann

Hello SC fans!

Who else enjoyed their December advent calendar in 2021? I loved it! And I especially loved that it threw some new and different products my way.

For example, I got some new purple products to work with:

• Tonic Studios – Nuvo Collection – Pure Sheen Glitter – Violet Infusion - a fine beautiful glitter, that is easy to sprinkle on wet mediums, and
• Art Anthology Sorbet – Purple Rain - an awesome shiny and glittery thick paint.

 I thought it called for a purple page!

Here it is:

When I use purple, you need some contrasting colours - I started with a Kraft cardstock base and adding black and white.

Using an old store card, I swiped the Art Anthology Sorbet – Purple Rain paint to the background.

Then I added the new Dina Wakley Media Collage Tissue Paper [Text Collage] paper over the purple with some gel medium.

While it was still wet, I sprinkled Nuvo Collection – Pure Sheen Glitter – Violet Infusion over.

Once everything was dry, I used a blending brush to add some extra stenciling to the page.

Also added some stamping using the new Tim Holtz Cling Stamp– Tiny Text - I know these are out of stock - hopefully more will come in soon!

Finished with some muslin, black thread, a white flower (painted with Art Anthology Sorbet – Purple Rain) and my title.

Thanks for looking!

#LOVINGLIFE, by Amanda Hartmann

Hi all!

I also got a gold bag this week, so new stuff had to be tested! :) Full list of products at the end!

Got new stuff! Have to create with it!

Firstly, Nuvo crackle mousse through a new 13arts stencil.

Gel medium to stick some tissue paper (including the fussy cut bird) to the page. Plus then some swipes of the crackle mousse.

Stamped with my new Tim Holtz stamps, and embossed with new Distress embossing glaze.

Lastly a bit of shiny watercolour to the background with a Lindy's Magical shaker.

Then all put together with some random black stamping, doodling and all my embellishments!

And here is my page!

Raided my flower stash to finish this page!

Hi all! I am here with my last post for the year 2018!

What a year! Another year of ups and downs, growth, good times... and challenging times. 

I have here an Art Journal page, which I thought would be a fitting way to summarise my personal journey.

I have used the Dina Wakley Media Journal 8" x 10". For this particular project, I elected to use the watercolour paper in this media journal.

To prepare the background, I used a small Ranger Gel Press Brayer to apply the paint. This is one of my favourite go-to tools. From the store, I used the following paints: Dina Wakley Media - Heavy Body Acrylic paint in Lime, Turquoise, Sky, and Night. 

Once dried, I randomly stamped over the coloured areas with a permanent Stazon Ink in 'Jet Black' and a Prima Finnabair - Vintage Vanity Collection stamp.

Next, to add texture to the painted areas, I applied white modelling paste over Crafter's Workshop 6x6 Doodling Template - Mini Cubist.

The image was selected from Jane Davenport Napkin Collage Paper and carefully adhered it white cardstock with gel medium from my stash. For the border, I used a Posca pen in both 'Green' and 'Black'.

I have mounted the image on top of strips of tissue paper and collage paper. I tore lengthy strips of Dina Wakley Media Collage Tissue Paper then adhered this onto the page over cotton thread from my stash. 

Finally, used Dina Wakley Media Collage Words for the title.

Once, complete, I splattered Colour Blast Colour Spray in 'Roadbase' randomly around the page. 

It was rewarding to create this page. 

I hope you all have a very happy Christmas with your friends and families.

See you next year! ... over here, on the Scrapping Clearly blog!

An Abstract World

Hello to the Scrapping Clearly family.

I am back to day to share another piece of abstract art with you using the wonderful products available in the Scrappingclearly store.

Today's creation uses product from Jane Davenport's range  - her collage papers, and acrylic paints from Winsor & Newton. 

Abstract art work is all about randomness and using different and odd pieces to create an image that is pleasant to the eye, it is a very individual process and every piece is truly unique.

To create this I have used good quality french mixed media paper.

I have found when creating a larger piece, I have become what one would call a paper snob, this is because the better the paper, the better the products work.

I started by taking the Jane Davenport collage paper and tearing it into random size pieces and the adhering them over my page (this piece is A3 in size). The glue I have chosen to to use is the Dina Wakely Gel Medium. I have also secured my page to a board and water bathed it to prevent buckling you can secure it well with low-tack washi tape, I have used masking tape.

Once the gel medium was dry I layered random spots of paint over the page and, while the paint was wet, I added some clean sand into the paint. The paints used here are Winsor and Newtons Cadmium Yellow Medium Series 3, Cobalt Turquoise Series 3 and Permanent Rose Series 3

Once the paint was dry I just shook off any excess sand, I didn't remove it all as it adds texture to the page. I then added random spots of shellac over the page, making sure to add it over some of the sand areas but not all.

There you have an easy but effective piece of abstract art.

This technique can also be used in your art journals.

We also accept art journal pieces for our monthly challenges.

 Happy creating until next time Kim.

Art Journal Fun by Lauren Hender

Hello Everyone.

Welcome back to the Scrapping Clearly blog.

Today I am sharing with you a mixed media piece I created in my art journal.

I don't often create in my journal but when I do a just love it. To be honest I get a little nervous about making it all come together. But in the end I am always pleasantly surprised by the end result.

The journal I create in is the Dylusions Creative Journal.

These journals have high quality artist pages allowing you to add mediums and texture to you pages without transfer.

To build this layout I began by adding some tissue paper to the background and some fussy cut butterflys to add some texture. I then painted over them with white gesso, and dried it off with a heat gun.

I then had some fun spraying, spritzing and flicking Dylusions everywhere and letting it run down the page.

Then using some stamps and some black staz on ink I play around adding some stronger stamps in the centre and highlighting butterflys throughout. This is truly the fun part and my advice is not to over think it.. just stamp.

I then stamped and fussy cut some smaller butterfly's and using the new Dina Wakely scribble sticks I coloured the butterflys. I then played around with some washi tape and finished off with adding the title and splashing white ink everywhere.

Lets go shopping:
