'Creative Madness'

Hello all! 

This month's challenge over at Scrap Matrix is 

I have been inspired by both the colours,

 and the segmented circles from the mood board.

This is what I have created

I have started by using my 'Dina Wakley Acrylic Paint' in 'Lemon',

as the base colour for my page.

I love these paints, as they are such a thick good quality paint, 

while being liquid enough for you to easily work with.

Next I have used the 'Gin Blossom Stencil' from TCW,

along with some more of the 'Dina Wakley Acrylic Paints',

this time using the 'Blush' colour to sponge through my stencil.

I have then added some doodling to the blossom.

I have then added some strip of 'Art by Marlene Collage Paper #3' to my page, 

scrunching and overlapping the pieces.

I have then used the 'AAll & Create #35 Stamp' to add some stamping to my page.

To finish I have used some of the 'Marta's Small Words Stickers',

scattered across my page. 

I hope that you like what I have created,

and this it has inspired you to enter into our challenge.

Take care

Lisa xoxo

'To the Moon & Back' 2Crafty Chipboard

Hello all!

There have been lots of girly layout for me lately,

but I really needed a good dose of boyish fun.

'To the Moon & Back'

2Crafty Products used:

I have started by mixing two of my fave papers from this collection.

I love working on a diagonal direction on my page, 

so I have cut the papers and adhered them together.

I wanted my chipboard to stand out from the page, 

but I also wanted it left raw to add some warmth to the cool coloured papers.

I have used one of the 'Scribble Circles',

to layer my sentiment and stickers onto. 

I have then layered this onto a tag from the collection.

I have also used one of the 'Checkerboard Panels',

also left raw, but cut in half, with each piece on either side of my photo.

I have then layered some matching embellishments,

 under and on the chipboard, to make it part of my layers.

To finish I have used one of the 'Arrows Funky' in the corner of my page, 

following that same diagonal line. I love these arrows, they are all so different. 

I hope that you like what I have created,

 and that it inspires you to get crafty today.

Until next time!

'Be You, Bravely'

Hello all!

I am here to share my latest art journal page with you.

I have created this for Bee Arty

'Be You, Bravely'

I have created this page in my journal,

I have started by using my 'Heavy Gesso' to seal my page.

I have then adhered pieces of the book paper and tissue paper,

left over from my 'Forever my Always' kit.

Up next some stencilling, for this I have used the 'Triangle Spray Stencil',

and 'Snow White Colour Paste'

Now for some colour. I have mixed together some 

'Lagoon & Roadbase Colour Sprays',

to make a darker blue. 

I have then used a water mister to dampen my page, 

and then added some of my colours. 

I have then added some stamping to my page using the script,

 from the 'Memories Stamp'

 Next I used pieces from the 'Forever my Always papers',

to build up some centre layers.

I have fussy cut the bee from the same papers,

 and layered it on a metal embellishment I had on hand.

Some more book paper strips and some word stickers to finish it off.

I am loving the layers of blue, grey and black, 

that the sprays have created during mixing.

I hope that you like what I have created this time around.

I have used the following products:

Heavy Gesso White

Roadbase & Lagoon Colour Sprays

Snow White Colour Paste

Triangle Spray Stencil

Memories Stamp

Forever my Always paper pieces

Book & Tissue paper pieces

Until next time!

'Snapshots' 2 Crafty Chipboard

Hello all! 

I hope you are all staying safe.

As I can't go anywhere at the moment,

I thought I would revise one of our holidays lol

'Snapshots'

2Crafty Products Used:

For this layout I have started with a mixed media background, some splashes of blue.

I have used some of the 'Tiny Film Strips' on either side of my page, for balance.

I have finished them with a pale blue embossing powder. 

Up there I have used one of the 'Geotags', 

which I have left raw. 

I have also used one of the gorgeous 'Intricate Seahorses',

also finished in pale blue and tucked up next to my layers. 

 Lastly I have used one of the 'Mini Travel Word Set 1',

snapshots, also finished in the same pale blue finish. 

I really love blue and yellow together, it just screams summer to me.

I'm already feeling the cold start here lol

Until next time
