Hello everyone, So glad to be getting to this Art Journal Swap with my awesome friend Suzanne Johnson . This is my second layout in our book. You can find the first layout HERE The prompt for this layout are the bird die-cuts Suzanne sent me. I started off by collaging pieces of paper from my scraps using Modpodge, followed by a layer of gesso. Next came a layer of watercolors, followed by another layer of white acrylic paint softened with a wet cloth. From there, I fussy cut some flowers out of an old G45 collection of floral paper. I then set about stencilling leaves and stems and inking the edges and applying script stamping all over to make the pieces more cohesive. Next it was time for the die-cut birds. I coloured them in using my watercolors and then added them to the piece. The quote came from the G45 scrap paper I used. I finished off the edges with some Nuvo gold glimmer paste. You can watch the e...

So excited to be starting off this Art Journal Swap Series with my good friend Lolly Palooza!! Lolly sent me some die -cuts at the start of the year and our aim is to swap an entire art journal filled with wonderful art for 2018. I used her Eiffel Tower die-cut and went to work inspired by this image which I found on google. I used Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks to create the background and after a few trials and tribulations (you will have to catch the video to see what Im talking about) - I was pleased with the final outcome. Look at that gorgeous full moon!! Love the sentiment this piece evokes :)  Catching some of the flourish stamping in the background plus that lovely gold embossing. The bottom of the Eiffel Tower which gave me such grief in the process video. Thanks for stopping by. Check out the process video HERE What do you think? Should I have left it at that first stage or given it a go? Thi...

Hi everyone, So happy to be bringing you the first layout in my new collaboration with my fellow design team member Suzanne Johnston . Suzanne and I are doing a collaboration this year where we are working in an art journal for as long as it takes to fill it and then sending each other the finished journal at the end. We are sending each other an envelope full of die-cuts and inspirational items as prompts for layouts. The art journal that I am working in is one I made myself and if you are interesting in making one, please check out my DIY tutorial HERE . From the prompts, I selected the clippings of musical paper which I reconfigured as houses. From there, I went onto Design Seeds and picked out this color palette. I then gathered all my acrylic paints and supplies ... and started mixing. I think I got pretty close to the correct colors :) Next it was time to decide on the colors for the background and this is what I w...
