Art Journal Cover

Hello Friends

I hope you all had a great week. I sure did I was in Maine for a few days. I just love that place it was sooo relaxing. I started off making a card for this weeks Friends with Flair but it was not coming together. So I ditched the card and started work on my new art journal. I wanted a new journal since the one I have now is just too small. I have lots of composition books laying around so I decided to use one of those and just decorate the cover.

I used 3 layers of Gesso on the front cover. Then painted it in a lovely turquoise colour. The butterfly was painted using watercolour paints on watercolour paper. I cut it out and glued it on to the cover. I stamped the sentiment straight on the painted surface and used white embossing powder and heat set it. The stamp is from Unity called Becoming A Butterfly. I punched some white butterflies and sprinkled them around the page to finish.

I hope you like my journal :)

Friends with Flair @ Unity

Here is my Unity Friends with Flair entry. I used my Feel the Joy stamp and used the generation stamping technique with memento ink. I then sponged the background in purple and deep pink pigment ink. I mounted it on to white card and added the Happy Birthday sentiment at the bottom. It looked too plain so I added teeny weeny little butterflies from the butterfly punch from Martha Stewart. P.S I ran out of daubers and all I could find was a magic eraser it did the trick as a makeshift sponge :) If you want to take part hop along to Unity and enter here I just had to make another card I just love this stamp I wish I had gotten it sooner it is so versatile. I think it may be my new favourite Unity Stamp :) Thanks for visiting :)

Love You - Hot Pink

Happy Friday Friends :) I hope you all had a good week. Here is the card I made for this weeks friends with flair today. I used two stamps on this card. The hearts are from the You are my Main Squeeze stamp set. The sentiment is from the Strength & Dignity KOM 11/13 . The vibrant pink colour is Picked Raspberry distress ink that I sponged all over the card. I embossed the hearts with white embossing powder. I really like he effect it created it looks almost like chalk. Have a great weekend :)

Craft Stamper May Challenge

Hello Friends! I hope everyone is doing ok during this crazy time. I just wanted to remind you that we are still running the Craft Stamper Challenges. The May challenge is well underway but you still have time to come and join in. Here is my card I made for this month's project. I made this clean and simple floral card with Unity stamps. I used two different kits to create this card. The jar with the flowers is from the Strength & Wisdom stamp set and the sentiment is from the kit called His Words . I kept my card really clean and just used my watercolors to colour the flowers and jar then tied a little twine around it to finish it off. If you have the time come and play along with us this month. You can use any stamps you wish on your project. Here is the prize we have on offer this month this fab Eileen Hull die.
