Find Possibility - With Karyn Schultz!

Hi Scrapping Clearly Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have some pages in my Art Journal that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly!

I've used my small Dylusions journal and I started by using my Art-By-Marlene Bold and Bright watercolour pan paints to create a watercolour waterwash background. I also added splatters of the same colours.

Next I added some DWM collage tissue paper and attached using a matte gel medium.

Next I added some die cuts created using Art-By-Marlene collage paper No5 and Art-By-Marlene borders metal die.

Some background stamping was added.

Here is my finished page. I've also added some coloured muslin, black cotton thread, Tim Holtz wings, cotton and Tim Holtz small talk word stickers. I've added doodling around the edge of the pages using a Fude ball pen. 

Here are some close ups of my pages.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Life's too short

Hi everyone

Late with this post as finding it hard to keep track of days as they're blurring into each other.

Just a really quick share on a project that started out with the thought that it was just going to be black and white for the VCC challenge.   

What can I say, it took a turn

I started with some Light & Fluffy through a Darkroom Door stencil and added some Lindy's magical powder in Blazing Black which I spritzed with water.   A little bit of stamping and some Nuvo Glimmer paste through a stencil then other bits and pieces from my stash.  Finished off with some Snarky stickers and outlined the page with my Fude Ball pen (love the way this writes). 

As I said, super quick but satisfying and fun,

Stay safe and craft on

cheers

One scrapbook live... 4 ways, by Amanda Hartmann

Hello team!

During our wonderful virtual cybercrop, I did a spontaneous Scrapbook live video.  I created a page, and then taught that during the live video. I ended up with 4 different variations of the design. Today I thought it would be great to share some of the details of the final pages.

I also want to thank all of those people who played along! I was blown away by the awesome creative pages that came out of the scrapbook live. I hope we can do it again soon.....

This page was created with these basic steps:

1. Gesso smooth cardstock

2. Stencil modeling paste diagonally

3. Water plus acrylic paints, wet brush, water spray bottle - move the colour and heat set.

4. Paint stamped and fussy cut images.

5. Put the page together, with stickers and embellishments.

This is a simple overview.... if you want all the details - watch the video!

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.

 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.

let's take an ART WALK with layers

I was lucky enough to grab some Heidi Swapp Art Walk papers... I was in the know - if you know what I mean... they are awesome... bold and real... absolutely popping... they can lend themselves to many projects... I was even considering a planner/ journal with these papers - perfect for a recap of a holiday but loved them for this pic of my girl instead.

I have used the Artsy, Locals only & Tropics ranges for this layout. I have cut varying strips and rectangles out of the cardstock as to stagger them and layer them on white cardstock.

After layering the cardstock I added some Heidi Swapp Vintage Chic note tags and some HS washi tape down both sides of my layout.

  I have also added a little green muslin to the underside of the cardstock that will hold my photo.

I have then added Tim Holtz Deco frames & some glass gem embellishments to enhance my layout and a cute little flair button from Coco Vanilla.

And that is a wrap to this awesome layout - love these papers... love this pic of my girl - it all balanced out really well... the papers never took anything away from the fun and funky pic ... and the pic let the papers shine... super fun embellies to add to the layout too... I hope you have been inspired by my layout and you too can't wait to grab some of the Heidi Swapp Art Walk papers - they are amazing!

Have a fabbo weekend of creative expression
