Mad Hatter

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using stencils from Julia Mcneil Designs, Snip Art chipboard and part of a Natalie May Scrapbooking collage paper.

To begin, I created a background using JMC Designs Spade, Diamond, Heart and Club stencils by blending the correct colour from on the stencil on to the page. I then went round the edge of the page using the Sprinkle Suite stencil with candied apple distress oxide. I then used the Random Script with black soot distress oxide to add some text to the page.

Next, I coloured the Snip Art Card Suits Decors with red and black sharpies.

I then stamped and cut out the large heart, from Tracy Evans Quirky Burds stamp set, using seedless preserve and villainous potion distress oxide ink. I then cut them out.

I chose three clocks and two sentiments from the AALL & Create ephemera packs.

Next, I used distress collage medium to glue the Mad Hatter image from the Cheshire Collage Paper from Natalie May Scrapbooking and cut it out.

Finally, I assembled all the pieces on the page. To finish the page I added some of the small double heart stamp, from the Quirky Birds stamp set using the same inks as used for the bigger single heart.

Clocks and Ledgers

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using the brand new release from Bee Crafty.

To begin, cut the white edges from the A5 greyscale catalyst card, from set 4, and glue to the page in the black art journal.

Next blend mermaid lagoon and uncharted mariner distress oxide in the top left and bottom right corners. Then blend uncharted mariner through the off set dots inkable. With the ink left on the inkable, spritz it lightly with water then press, ink side down, onto the page in several places.

Using black soot distress oxide and a blending brush add leaves using d'inkable from sets 6 and 14.

On some of the A5 fullcolour catalyst cards 4 stamp the clocks and assorted other ephemera stamps (for a full list of stamp sets used see below) using versafine clair nocturne. Cut all the images out.

Stamp, using versafine clair nocturne, the border, from the Wasted Time stamp set, 6 times on the page.

Use foam tape to stick the two large clocks to the page, then add all the other ephemera to the page using glue.

Cut out the sentiment from the Transparency Prints and colour the back with a white posca pen. Then glue to the page.

Don't be afraid

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this tag using Natalie May Scrapbooking Collage Papers with  Dina Wakley Gloss Drops and stamps.

To begin, add two strips of scrim tape to a large cream tag.

Add several drops of Gnarlyand Radical gloss drops to the tag and spritz with water. Tilt the tag to encourage the gloss drops to run and mix. Leave to dry.

Add two strips of dotty tissue paper to the tag with distress matte collage medium. Then spritz with spiced marmalade distress spritz. Leave to dry.

Add the grid stamp from Bee Crafty's Journal Art Elements 3 using versafine clair nocturne using first and second generation stamping. 

Using a 0.7mm black posca pen and a ruler draw some straight lines onto the tag.

Edge the tag with black soot distress oxide ink, bringing some areas in to the tag.

Add black splatz using the posca pen.

Using versafine clair nocturne stamp the numbers from Bee Crafty's Journal Art Elements 3 several times. Then glue the tag to black card and trim to size.

Use distress collage medium to add the Natalie May Scrapbooking image from the She is a Goddess Collage Paper. 

Add a sentiment from Claritystamps Word Sticker Collection by Leonie Pujol. 

Finally punch out the hole and add some fibres.

Frame by Frame

Hi everyone today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this art journal page using products available from Dolly Dimples, Shady Designs and Snip Art. 

I chose to use a page which I had used to clean the Flower Bass stencil the last time I used it with Ecoline Liquid Watercolours. I had also used the page to clean the same stencil when it had been used with candied apple distress oxide.

 

I stamped the main image, four of the tulip buds and a selection of leaves, from the Frame by Frame stamp set, using Versafine Clair nocturne ink, onto a seperate piece of card. I coloured the flowers and leaves using distress oxide ink pads, then cut everything out.

I, carefully, removed the smaller film strip, the large number 1 and smaller 2 and 3 film cells from the Snip Art sheets. I coloured these using a black posca pen.

I used Versafine Clair Nocturne ink to stamp the Gridwork stamp slughtly to the left of the page, matching it to give a continuous line down the page.

Then I used Versafine Clair Nocturne ink to stamp some of the numbers stamp from the Layering Circle stamp set.

I used pva glue to stick all the pieces to the page.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Circle stamp set down the right hand side of the page.
