Hi Everyone, I am back with the May layout for my 'Mini' Art Journal 2018. I will be working in my DIY watercolor art journal. I have a tutorial for you if you want to make one yourself. Check it out HERE   For this layout I decided to use S tamp No.45 'Fly away with me' Gorjuss Mini stamp by Santoro. I was in a galaxy background making kind of mood today so I grabbed my Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks and chose the colors: - Black - Night - Turquoise - Blackberry Watch how I created my background in the LINK BELOW. Next, I placed my Gorjuss stamp on top and look how awesome she looks!! I reached for my new stencil - Stars and Moon by Kaisercraft and my pot of Ink Gold And added some beautiful stars to the background. Next I added my Gorjuss girl which I stamped and coloured with alcohol markers. For the sentiment, I reached for my newest addition - Stargazer Cle...

So excited to be taking part in the #take5art journal challenge for 2018. I found this challenge when I came across Heba's YT Channel My Little Journal and was so inspired that I contacted Kyra Pace from Simply Creative Kyra  who hosts this challenge and asked if I could play along and she said YES! So here I am!! The journal I am working in is this blue and green watercolor art journal I made out of watercolor paper. If you want to make your own, I have a DIY video for you HERE This months challenge prompts are : * modeling paste * 3 stamps * text paper * Feather * Use Gesso through a stencil So because the feather was involved, I consulted by Color Almanac Vol 3 by Design Seeds and was attracted to this color scheme. Check out my video process which I will leave a link to below. I really enjoyed creating the modeling paste. It created amazing texture through this Kaisercraft stencil. You can also see some of the text I ad...

Hello Crafty friends, I am starting my watercolor art journal 2018 series today! I chose to work in a traveler's notebook insert I made myself out of water color paper. If you want to make one yourself too and join in the adventure, check out the tutorial HERE . My color palette today is a combination of yellows, oranges and a touch of red. I also told myself that I was not allowed black and must leave white space. I broke both those rules within the first 5 minutes LOL So as I was editing my video, I realised I essentially added 5 layers to my layout and they are: Layer 1- Add Watercolor Layer 2- Add Collage Layer 3- Add Acrylic Paint Layer 4- Add Stencil and Stamps Layer 5- Doodling and Borders My collage element was this beautiful ephemera pack from Kaiser Craft "Golden Grove" collection. I felt this represented my word for the year which is 'EVOLVE'. I really enjoyed this p...
