Scrapbook layout and art journal page for Scrap FX DT

Hi everyone, today I would like to share a scrapbook page and an art journal page that I have created for Scrap FX

First the art journal page:

I am so lucky to have this wonderful girl in my life - here was her first time having pumpkin!

I have used 13 arts paper designed by Australian Artist Fiona Paltridge "Strength in Numbers".  Fantastic paper for mixed media.

I have cut strips of paper and added it around the areas where the photos will be.  I have outlined these in Black Stabillo pencil.

Using the flower stamps and archival inks I have randomly stamped around the layout.

I thought the flowers were quite bright so I have used a stencil and white Dina Wakley paint to push them to the background a little.

I have cut out the "splat/flower marks" on the transparency and added these to the layout.

The title has been embossed in WOW embossing powder

and my second project - an art journal page:

Products Used:

3D Flower Making Transparency

Flower Stamps

Botanical Small Stencil

Fresh Flowers Black

Daisy Flowers Black

Angel with Attitude

Art Journal Page for Scrap Matrix DT

Hi everyone, today I would like to share with you my second project for this months challenge at Scrap Matrix.  

This time I have created an art journal page

Here is the moodboard - I have used the black and white from the girl as my inspiration.

This is a super easy and quick page once you get into the flow of things.   You need to stamp your images onto a separate piece of paper and cut out.  They then become the masks - you place them on the already stamped image on your paper so when you stamp the next image, the edges which would have stamped over the original stamps are on the mask and dont mess up your previous stamped image - does that make sense!!!!!

I have used the Paper Artsy ETS23 stamp by Tracy Scott and a page from the Art by Marlene Journal 

I have now got a very busy background!!!!! - which I love and really didnt want to do anything to it - but I decided to add two little creatures from the Zini stamps which are super cute and a quote from Art by Marlene whimsy stickers

I hope that you have a go this month and enter the challenge - it is easy - Just add your creation into the 'August - Mandalas and Zentangles' Album over on our Facebook Scrap Matrix Shares page, and let us know in the comments what products you used from the Scrap Matrix store!

A voucher to the store, or even a Guest Design Spot are up for grabs!

Til next time - happy crafting

Scrapbook layout for Scrap Matrix DT

Morning everyone, today it is my turn to share the layout I have created for Scrap Matrix for this months challenge - Mandalas and Zentangles.

I haven't created a scrapbook page in a long time so I thought I would start with a 12x12 page:

The photo is not super clear but it was a snap chap fun photo taken on the spur of the moment one night.  I find these fun photos have more meaning and love  and I am happy to have them in my album.

I begin by stamping art foamies Splat Heart Doily and Doodle Centre onto tissue paper using Dina Wakely paints

Once these were dry I cut/tore around the edges of the images and adhered them to my paper

I have used a heavy weight white cardstock as at this stage I was unsure how much paint I was going to put onto the page - as it turned out I didnt put any !!!!!!

Once the tissue was dry I have taken a Carabelle Stamp - Scribbled leaves and Textured Circles - designed by Birgit Koopsen and stamped randomly in the gaps using Ranger Distress Archival Ink.

I wanted to create some depth behind the photo, so I have coloured the images in the Dylusions Creative Dyary Stickers book with Jane Davenport Water Colours.

I have also added some 7 Dots Cotton Candy tags and words.

To blend everything together I have added some stamps in black ink - I have used a Paper Artsy Stamp ETS10 by Tracy Scott and one mark making stamp that I had given to me by Dee Dee Catron when she came to Australia.

The main title  is from Mambi Stickers.

Here are some close ups:
