an album and atc's for Scrap fx design team

Hi everyone, today I would like to share with you an album that I have made for the Scrap fx Design Team

.

I painted the album with a pink Tim Holtz Paint and then added Prima paper which has been inked around the edges.

For the centrepiece on the cover I have used Stampendous Embossing Enamel in shabby pink and shabby green.

The lovebirds have been coloured with Tombow pens.

Through the album I have tried to stick to the same theme - love heart stencil with crackle paste, fold out cards added with washi tape, transparency sayings with chipboard shapes.

Here are some of the pages:

I have also created some ATC's :

Here are the products that I have used together with a link to them in the Scrap FX Store.

Art journal page for Scrap Matrix

Hi Everyone, today I would like  to share another art journal page that I have created using the moodboard for March at Scrap Matrix.

I have taken inspiration from the second photo on the left hand side of the hexagon bed cover to create the background of my page

I have used paper artsy fresco finish paints in the teal and purple shades.  Once dry I have used the snow white paper artsy paint through a hexagon stencil.   To add some interest in the page I have adhered some torn dictionary pages around the edges.  The pink tape on the right of the photo is the washi tape down the centre of the page. I find putting washi tape down stops any ink running into other pages through the seams.

I have added white paint and a brayer to push the colour to the background.  I also wanted to take away the starkness of the dictionary paper so I have applied some scribble sticks and water.

I have used a paper artsy stencil and black ink .  Once the ink was dry I have gone over the stenciled area with a black paint pen.

Once the black was dry I have done over it with a white paint pen to get a more defined but yet a second layer background effect.

For some final touches I have added a butterfly as my feature with some smaller butterflies and words.

Here is a list of products used with links to the Scrap Matrix store:

Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks

Paper Artsy Stencil

Paper Artsy Fresco Paints

Black Archival Ink

White Paint Pen

Paper Artsy Butterfly Stamp

Art journal page for Scrap Matrix

Good morning everyone.  Today I would like to share an art journal page that I have created for this months challenge over at Scrap Matrix - Teal and Purple

Here is the moodboard:

My favourite colour is purple and next to the teal it is even more devine!!!!!!

Here is my art journal page:

I have used Art by Marlene paper  for the background.  There is washi tape down the centre of the page.

   I just love this paper :) - but need to push it to the background

To do this I have added ripped up dictionary paper down the edges and heavy white gesso.

At this point I got so involved in what I was doing I forgot to take photos so I will explain in the close up shots!

I have used a stencil with Paper Artsy paint - by putting a very small amount of paint on a makeup sponge and dabbing onto the stencil.

I have then used 13 arts clear stick over the top.

 I have used a lid and black and white Dina Wakley paint to create some circle marks.

I have used a white posca pen around the inked areas to add highlight.

The wooden letters have been painted in Paper Artsy paints.

Here is a list of the products that I have used:

Dylusion art journal

Art by Marlene paper 

Heavy White Gesso

Paper Artsy Paints

13 arts clear stickers

13 arts wooden words
