Art Journal Page for Scrap Matrix DT

Hi everyone, today I am back with my second project for this months challenge for Scrap Matrix.  Again I have created an art journal page

I have used a page from the Art by Marlene Medium Journal. I have used Tim Holtz Distress Inks for the background - Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin and Picked Raspberry.

On a separate piece of paper from the Art by Marlene journal (I love the thickness of the paper) I stamped the flower and leaf images  from Art by Marlene Flower Stamp

I have used Jane Davenport water colours on both the flowers and leaves - adding a little flouro pencil for highlights.

I have added some liquid pearls to the centre of the flowers and white and black posca pens for highlights.

The quote and girl  is from the Art by Marlene Die Cuts

Here are some close ups:

I hope that I have given you some inspiration to have a go at this months challenge.  

It is easy to enter - all you need to do is upload a picture of your project to the Scrap Matrix Shares facebook group and tell us at lerast one product that you have used that is available from Scrap Matrix.

til next time - happy crafting :)

Art journal page for Scrap Matrix DT

Hi everyone, Lynn here today to share the first project I have done for this months moodboard/colour palette challenge for Scrap Matrix - OMG  LOVE LOVE LOVE. 

These colours are perfect for me 

I have created an art journal page:

I began by using the colours in the board randomly onto my page.  I am using a page from the Art by Marlene art journal.  I have used Dina Wakley paints - magenta and cheddar.

I have then stamped the Tracey Scott flower stamp onto the page a number of times using a template to cover the first image while I stamp the second image.  I keep forgetting that my scrap table has a bow in it and the images dont stamp well!   Never mind this is where the words are going I decide! 

Using black ink I then blacked out the background areas to give the flowers more "pop".

I stamp the same image on a seperate piece of paper and fussy cut it out - this becomes by focal point as it has more detail than the others and although a little difficult to see, it is mounting on the page with foam tape to give it some dimension.

Here is the finished product:

Products Used:

Art by Marlene Journal

art journal page for Scrap Matrix

Good morning everyone, today I would like to share with you an art journal page that I created for this months challenge - Art by Marlene.

I had just been to the classes held my Marlene and had an awesome time.  I love the way she creates characters out of combining stamps and I thought I would give this a go:

I have used a Art by Marlene Tags (I have cut this one down a little and punched holes in the side so that I can add it to my Art by Marlene Journal

I began by adding white paint and a fluro green paint to the tag and scraping around with an old credit card.  I have then placed TCW Stencil designed by Marlene over the top whilst the paint was still wet and wiped with a baby wipe.  This gave me some texture without the layers.

I have stamped the two images on a separate cardstock.  This is actually a page out of the journal.  As I was away when I created this, it was the easiest way for me.  In future I would use the watercolour paper that Marlene has released - it is so thick and smooth one side and rough the other.  Here is the link - watercolour paper pad 

I have coloured the images with Art by Marlene watercolours and fussy cut out.

I have stamped some triangles around the tag from the Stardust Brightens stamp set and added some cut outs on the edge.  These came from the Die Cut Sheets.

I have stamped the saying from the same stamp set - Stardust Brightens and used water colour paint.

I have adhered everything down using matte medium

Here are some close ups:

I have coloured the stars with white Posca Pens

I have used the white Posca pen to add some more details on the cut outs.

to highlight the fish I have used stickles on the hair follicles (not sure what they are!!!)

This is  a wonderful month - there are some many products that Marlene has produces - you can see what is available here 

So why not enter this months challenge - you could win a guest spot or a shopping voucher with Scrap Matrix.  All you have to do is upload your project to the Scrap Matrix Facebook Shares album and let us know what product/s you have used that is available from Scrap Matrix.

Til next time - Happy Crafting

Art Journal Page for Scrap FX Design Team

Hi everyone,  today I am sharing with you an art journal page created for the Scrap FX Design Team:

I have used the image transfer technique with matte medium for the photo - I love how this comes out when art journalling.

The background colours are paper artsy paints and I have used the "ghosting" effect.  This is where you put down the colour, and go over when dry with another colour - in this case I have used white.  Then you place your stencil on top and use a wet wipe to remove the white.

I have also stamped numbers around the page and highlighted them with a black marker.

Here are some close ups:

products used:

Happy Birthday Hearts

Numbers Silhouette

Birthday Transparency

Numbers Stamp

Triangle Pentagons Stencil

Triangles Stamp

I hope that you are inspired to create an art journal page or two - and maybe give the image transfer a go!
