Splashes Art Journal Cover

Hello there!

I am here today to share some splishing and splashing with you.

I have finally decorated the cover of my art journal!!

I have used the KISS method (Keep It Simple Silly!)

So this is the large 'Dylusions Creative Journal',

I have first given it a few thick coats of 'Liquitex Gesso',

to seal it, and give me a nice clean white base for my colours to stand out.

I stood it up on my desk, I wanted it to be a landscape orientation.

I have then used my 'Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays' in

Fuchsia, Marine, Eggplant, Lemon & Turquoise, 

to spray and spill some colour,

letting them pool and drip.

I have then used an art journal sticker from the '13Arts Journey Stickers'

I love how the colours have blended and ran together in parts.

I also love how glossy these sprays are, no need for any gloss medium!

I have used another of the Journey Stickers on the bottom of the cover.

I have only done the first side so far,

but am planning on repeating it to the back sometime soon.

I hope you like what I have finally done to it.

Until next time!

Lisa

Remember this Moment 2Crafty Chipboard

Hello all!

I am here on the blog today, to share some scrappy goodness with you.

I have created this layout for 2Crafty Chipboard

using a photo of my daughter and her friend.

I have used the following 2Crafty Chipboard pieces:

 

I have used some of the 'Diamond Chunk Bits',

that I have left raw to coordinate with the colours and feel to my page.

I have added them in among my layers and elements.

I have also used one of the polaroid frames from the 'Polaroid Assorted Frames' set,

tucked in with my photo.

I have cut up one of the 'Crazy Stitched Panels' and adhered it across my page.

I have also used one of the 'Steampunk Gears Medium',

that I have inked black.

I am really happy with how this layout turned out, 

a bit of industrial girl grunge :)

I have used the 'In the Past' collection from AB Studio 

I hope that you like it too!

Until next time

Turn mistakes into Beauty Scrap Matrix

Hello all,

I am here today to share some inspiration with you. 

I have created this art journal page for this month's challenge at

Scrap Matrix

I have used the challenge as inspiration for this page.

I have started with a blank page in my art journal,

a quick coat of gesso to the page to seal it.

I have used my new 'Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays'

in Turquoise for the centre of the page, lots of sprays and splatters.

I have then used my Eggplant spray around the edge of the page.

Then I have used the White spray in the centre, as a base for my girl.

Once this had dried I used the 'Jane Davenport Faces Stamp',

to stamp her face out. 

It has heaps of options for different facial features, 

so I have stamped those also.

I have then used 'Dina Wakley Acrylic Paint in Lemon',

that I have watered down a little to give it some movement,

 and I have painted and dribbled her hair on. 

I have also used the 'Eggplant Spray' to paint her dress,

 and to colour her lips.

Lastly, I have used one of the quotes from the 'Dina Wakley Collage Words',

adhered to the top of my page.

I hope that you like what I have created,

 and that it inspires you to get a little messy this month!

Until next time!

2Crafty Cards Time to Celebrate!

Hello all,

I have been busy creating and have come up with 

a trio of cards to inspire you this month using my favourite chipboard

2Crafty Chipboard

2Crafty Products used:

  

  

   

I have used the gorgeous 49 & Market Vintage Artistry Sky collection to create these cards.

For my first card, I have used a variety of chipboard pieces,

which I have mostly left raw. 

I have used one of the 'Card Word Circles - Happy Birthday',

which has been slightly tucked into my layers.

I have used one of the flourish leaves from the 'Foliage Set 6',

along with one of the 'Lattice Leaves' which I have finished in an off white.

For my second card, I have used some of the 'Grid Bits',

which have also been finished in off white.

 

For my flourish, I have used one of the 'Flourish Adornment Set 7',

tucked in next to my flower.

For my title, I have used words from the 'Card Word Set 1',

that I have adhered to the top and bottom of my card. 

For my final card, I have again used one of the

 'Foliage Set 6' tucked in next to my flowers. 

I have used one of the 'Frame Ornate Round',

to frame my butterfly.

For the title, I have again used one of the sentiments

from the 'Card Word Set 1'.

I hope that you like what I have created!

 I will be back soon with some more scrappy goodness to share with you!

Until then

Lisa xoxo
