When making this I was having the most wonderful mixed media fun..
This was a fun because it was my first play with the Tim Holtz DISTRESS OXIDES. This product is amazing as you can add layer upon layer of product and it just keeps creating more depth in your work.
Other must products I used to create this project was
Using the Staz On Ink I stamped some butterflies and painted them with gold Heidi color shine. I then added some texture paste hearts, drew some subtle hearts with a white pencil and finished off the base with some splashes and flicks of white ink. I then added a gold sticker statement and a puffy gold heart
So my advice is have some fun by trying a new product. Be daring and brave and whatever the outcome it does not matter, it's the process I want you to enjoy.
Hello there and welcome to the ScrappingClearly blog this lovely (may I add COLD!!) Saturday! It's Melinda here with you sharing my latest project and something a little different to what you are probably use to me sharing!
I'll start off by saying I was incredibly inspired to create after watching one of my all time favourite scrappers, Shimelle Laine, aka Glitter Girl and thought that I would do something a little different for me! What better way to create a Shimelle inspired page than using a Shimelle collection?! So, of course, I pulled out my Starshine collection (which is on sale in the store RIGHT NOW!) and got cutting and sticking pretty paper!!
Can you see that?! The only thing that could be remotely considered mixed media is my splatters!! I had so much fun putting this together and trying something different to me right now! I suppose too, I DID ink all the edges of all the papers and the ephemera and cut apart pieces with some distress ink so maybe that counts too!
I think the title and journalling explains everything about this photo - this was my very first cuddle with my most adorable new nephew in May, a few short hours after he entered the world!
I have used a 4" strip of patterned paper across the top of my page and under that a branding strip (the blue stars) and under that some of that gorgeous shaped washi! And some white machine stitching for interest.
I've also used some of the cut apart pieces - both from the 6x6 paper pad and the 12x12 paper pad, some ephemera, a flair badge, acrylic pieces, chipboard and clear stickers. Oh and also some label and quote stickers from the small sticker sheet.
I really love how quickly and easily this came together. Using one collection makes the "job" of co-ordination so much easier!
I really wanted to use that long quote from the 12x12 cut apart paper so started a small and simple cluster down the bottom with that and a chippy piece. I finished that off with a clear sticker, some white machine stitching and a stamp.
And one final close up of that cluster next to the photo and journalling! I love how I layered all of those pieces, they just fit so nicely together!
I do have a process video available for this page as well, just click on the play button below and you can watch wherever you are reading this! Also, remember to subscribe to the channel so you know whenever new videos are uploaded!
Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope I have inspired you to create with whatever else is inspiring you right now!
Placing 2 precut circles onto the page and adhering them with some glue, I screened a floral stencil with Lipstick Colourblast texture paste within the circle to add colour and interest .
When my painted pages where dry, I stamped out a few feathers in various colours and sizes.
I edged them in black ink. My preference is Staz on.
plus a few little doodles and words around the circle with a fudeball pen.
Currently I am in Melbourne with Peg at a retreat in a beautiful picturesque place, just outside the Yarra Valley . Any roadtrip to Melbourne includes the essential trip to the Scrapping Clearly HeadQuarters in Gundi. This shop is such an incredible space of inspiration,
stocked to the rafters with gorgeous lush colourful creative goodness .
Truly a wonderful pit stop spot, a must for any paper artist.
Thanks so much for dropping by the SC blog today .
It's Karyn here and today I want to share some Art journalling in my Jane Davenport Travellers Notebook. Have you seen the fabulous Jane Davenport range in theScrapping Clearly Store ? It is so beautiful!! I had to buy one of the travellers notebook covers and some of the face stamps.
Inside
the cover is a 4 page travellers notebook with lovely thick papers
perfect for mixed media. I painted a rainbow of Dina Wakley paints
across my page using a palate knife. I had a sheet of spare cardstock
nearby to use for any paint excess. I later stamped on this and fussy
cut to use on my project too.
Here is my finished page.
I
stamped a face on one of the pages. I cant draw faces so these face
stamps are perfect!! Then I stamped this Carabelle Studio circle collage
stamp on some spare painted paper then fussy cut and added to my page
as hair!
I
added some background stamps (Prima and KaiserCraft) across my page and
a fussy cut Carabelle Studio etiquette anion stamped image. I also
added some Tim Holtz small talk stickers (I just love these!!)
More Tim Holtz small talk stickers - have I mentioned how much I love these lol!
More fussy cut stamped images - this time Darkroom Door Arty circles stamps.
Its my turn to share some scrappy inspiration to get us started in August. Here is my take on the great sketch challenge for this month. I have used lots of Heidi Swapp goodies to do this page, some from the Magnolia Jane collection.
There were so many lovely papers I couldn't decide which to use to document these gorgeous photos of my little Miss. But I went with the watercolor paper to give the splattered paint look that is in the background of the sketch. I matted the paper onto the black and white geometric patterned paper to give the pink paper a subtle lift.
It took a little (maybe a lot) of fussing around to get the key elements of the sketch just right, but once I did then it was a matter of embellishing the page and done.
I think this is a beautiful and elegant girl layout, thanks to the lovely Magnolia Jane collection which is available in the ScrappingClearly store.
Also pop over to the ScrappingClearly YouTube channel to see a process video.
