Mindful

Hi how is everyone going? I here today to  share another one of the... well I suppose you can call it a series, using colouring sheet background and black and white stamped images.

I love this style of art journal because you really can play with the background and go nuts with your colours and stencils then ground it with your black and white images. 

And by adding a little black drop shadows you can blend the bright with the dark. 

If your interested in learning this style of art journal (Western Australian based) pop me a message on my facebook page here

Let your dreams .....

Hello how are you going? I am here to share with you a labour of love. This art journal page took a massive 9 plus hours to complete and to be honest I still want to go and fiddle with the 

page by adding on more pencil work and more hidden details. 

I love this art journal page and it evolved from making a pencil case,which is a gift, so rather than lose track of my work it was a great way to replicate the art work into my book.

You Will.... for Bee Arty

  Good afternoon how are you all ? Its been a while.... got to love computers blue screens of death... to kill mojo and creative sharing. Now comes the task of getting back into the groove and reinstalling everything that was on the computer ... arrggghhhh !! 

But enough of that its time to share my lastest creation using a little bit of ink.... in combination with Bee Arty stamps and stencils.

I used the Bee Arty Fushsia Fantasy Stamp set. I stamped in an archive in first then went over with a white gel pen this also allowed me to add dots and highlight the leaves in my background.

For the background I used the Bee Arty Sunrays A4 stencil.

If you add glass cabochons, they high light different details in your background.

Adorable for Bee Arty

Hi how are you? Have been busy creating some mixed media backgrounds over the week and I have to say its been fun just to create with Bee Arty Stamps, stencils and cardstock.

I have created a process video for you to follow along with.

By inking your flowers on a plain piece of cardstock you can create a flower background which you can blend out with the Bee Arty Laced Stencil

Add shadow to the Floral Delights Flowers with either a watercolour pencil or stabilo.

Fresh Air for Bee Arty

 Good evening how are you all? Busy, busy here myself with getting creative and also prepping for an up and coming retreat, let me tell you my fingers are burnt from the hot glue.

So today I am sharing with you one of my processes when it comes to working out my mixed media backgrounds. 

I work and play in my art journal.....

My art journals tend to be where I work out colour combos, techniques and other things before I start playing with my scrap pages, especially when  I am lacking ideas, or not to sure how it will work out.

So then my art journals become a how to guide so I dont forget how I did it.

This is also a good time to crack out the old washi tapes and add them into your backgrounds, who doesnt love washi tapes.

When you layer your inks you end up with a nice Bokeh effect.

Adding some fussy cutting pieces you can create a finished journal page.

Its all about the layers, washi, stamping , inking, stenciling, splatting ink, and ephemera.

So why dont you create your own journal as a go to guide.
