Whatevers Round 2 -6 (Journal Page)

Hello.  I am back.  I have taken a VERY LONG vacation from uploading to this blog but now I am back.  And, as you will notice, I have shifted, yet again, my passion.  These days I have been dabbling in art journaling.  I love it and it allows me to work through and manage the stress of a busy life.  I still do some scrapbooking and the occasional card, but I will likely be posting about art journaling more than anything else.

 

Today, I am uploading this page I created for the Whatevers Round 2 #6.  If you have not heard about it you need to go check out Nat Kalbach's blog and read about it.  I think it is a lot of fun and have played along before but never uploaded until now. 

 

 

Had so much fun on this page.  Started out with splats of distress stains, added script stamping, then lemon zest ink spray from Dylusions. Added some modelling past over the Mini Tiny Circles stencil by Balzer Designs.  The stencil had leftover red ink on it which ended up making a cool colour pattern on the modelling paste!.  A bit of brown distress ink and some turquoise paint splatters finished off the background.

 

 

All of the additional paper embellishments are from a Kaiser Craft package called Tigerlilly.  I also added some strips of fabric that had white gesso added. 

 

Off to do another page.

Paris in the Spring

Remember yesterday's card made from papers I received from Angela.  Well, today's card also features many items sent to me from Angela in a prize pacakge. 

Check out the cluster ... that flower die is from My Favourite Things, I believe, and cut from lovely felt!  

I saw someone on their blog use tulle behind a cluster of flowers and it looked lovely so I thought I'd try it.

Thanks again Angela for so many lovely things!

Crafty Creations Challenge #164 - Flocked Pussywillows says Spring

Hello and welcome back to another Crafty Creations Challenge.  This week Digital Delights us sponsoring out challenge.  Our challenge #164 is to celebrate spring with some green/buds/blossoms/grass.  I opted to go with buds ... Pussywillows to be precise.  This image from smARTworks is my favourite to pull out at this time of year! 

The pussywillows are 'flocked' with white ... they are soft and fuzzy in real life.  Unfortunately hard to tell in this photo.  I also used my new Distress Stain in Tumbled Glass (Ranger) for the background.

Now you need to go visit Crafty Creations Challenge Blog to see what all the others did for this challenge.  Then link up your own card or project for your chance to win!!
