Kaboom

 Hello everyone, 

Today I have a YouTube video to share. I am making an art journal page. 

I made this page in a square 8 x 8 Dylusions journal. The girl is a collage image from a book called 'Extraordinary Things to cut out and collage' by Maria Rivans. I really like this book  because sometimes I don't fancy colouring in a stamped image so this is easy. 

The background was made with Distress Oxide Inks and a 6 x 6 gelli plate. This gives a nice border all around. I used a red rubber stamp for the grey words the background; it was given to me and I have no idea what brand it is but I really like it. The stars etc. came from a very old clear stamp set by 'Walzing Mouse' called 'Kaboom'. I made up the sentiment with clippings stickers. 

Anyway if you want to watch the video it is HERE on my YouTube Channel.

Enjoy watching ! Thank you for stopping by today ! 

In my dreams

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create post I have made an artjournal page with a process video. 

I do have some step by step photos but if you like to see how I made this then scroll down and click on the YouTube link. 

First I stamped the dog and coloured him with Copic Markers. I then cut him out. 

I made the background with a 6 x 6 gelli plate. First I put a layer of white paint on my paper and then I 'coloured in' this stencil with paint. I then pulled the stencil off and waited for the paint on the gelli plate to dry. Once it dried I added a thin layer of white paint and took a print.

This is what it looks like. Of course I then had to tone it down with white paint and a brayer. I do this because I don't want the background to compete with the focal image. 

On the toned down version I added stamping and some pink paint splatters. 

I then stamped the dog on the page and glued the cut out coloured one over the top. This way I have all the little details. I also added washi tape and some doodle lines. 

The sentiment consists of three clipping stickers by Tim Holtz. 

If you'd like to see how I made this then click on the picture below or on this

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

For today's Vera Lane Studio project I have made an ATC with the newly released set "Esmee in Paris", she's very cute with her freshly baked baguette. 

I coloured her in the colours of the French flag for a bit of fun. I added some French book text to an ATC that I coloured with Distress Oxide ink in Faded Jeans. I then placed her on top after putting down some washi tape by Janet to stand her on. 

You'll find Esmee HERE. 

The second project is a journal spread; I used an image from the set 'Crush' that came out a few weeks ago. I filmed the process so you can see how I made it. 

So hop over to my YouTube channel to see me make this.

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday and welcome to my blog where today I have made a postcard with an older set and a tag with the this week release 'Belle Âme'. For the tag I have put my camera on and the video is available on my YouTube channel if you'd like to see how I made it. So, here goes:

I used a gelli printed background from my stash and stamped the circles (#404 - Visual Ingredients by Janet for AALL & Create) with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white powder. I added some stamping too using another of Janet's sets #338 - Background Noise. The image is made out of two sets of digis that are a little older ie. Rescue Puppies and Cats and Crocks. 

You'll find the Puppies HERE and the Cats and Crocks HERE.

This tag was made with the newly released 'Belle Âme' and here is the VIDEO

Hello everyone,

Happy Thursday to you ! For today's Vera Lane projects I have made an ATC and a journal spread. I have filmed the process of making the journal spread so there is a VIDEO too. 

This ATC was easy to make. I just coloured the flying saucer and then painted the ATC with one shade of blue and white and black paint to create this ombre look. I added white dots for the stars. 

You'll not find this set 'Lost in Space' in the shop, but it is still available on request. 

Next the journal spread :

If you want to know how I made it.... 

This set was released this week and you'll find it HERE.

Don't look down

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I have another project for AALL & Create. It is a journal spread with a VIDEO. I used some of my favourite stamps and stencil and materials. Hope you enjoy watching ! 

I have some step-by-step photos too:

I started with stamping the image of the flamingo and the sentiment I planned to use. I really love this flamingo and have used him before. Today I coloured him in not-so-flamingo colours though.. 

He turned orange ! This colour goes better with the background I was planning. 

For the background I used this stencil, one of my all time favourites.. I painted the pages, each colour separate, put the stencil on and wiped some of the paint away with a baby wipe. I then added some white paint with a brayer to tidy up the edges of the painted areas. 

Next I stamped the background, using colours that are similar to the background. 

Next I added some washi tape... and more stamping which you can see in the finished spread. I forgot to take a picture but you can see me do it in the video.

I have used the following AALL & Create materials:

Washi tape:

#1 - Eclipses by Autour de Mwa

#2 - Inspire - by Autour de Mwa

Stencil:

#30 - by Autour de Mwa

Stamps:

#391 - Orchid Cluster by Bipasha Bk

#350 - Splattered Numbers by Tracy Evans 

#366 - Roundly by Autour de Mwa

#428 - Charlie  by Janet Klein

#434 - Newsprint Numbers by Olga Heldwein
