This is an Art Journal page done in my <a href="https://scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/brand-ranger/brand-ranger-dylusions/dylusions-dyan-reaveleys-creative-square-journal-pre-order/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">8x8 Dylusions Journal</a>. On a "Gessoed" page I used Scribble Sticks to create the circle in various colours from blue/greens to yellow/pink, I then added loads of water to activate the colour and move it around for a smooth blend. I added a little shimmer with <a href="https://scrappingclearly.com.au/product-category/nuvo/page/2/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Nuvo Mica Mists</a> in Fresh Pear and Nebula Blue.</div>

Once dry, I added the stamped face (on Tissue paper) to the circle with Gel Medium, then used <a href="https://scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/brand-the-crafters-workshop/carmen-medlin-brand-the-crafters-workshop/tcw-6-x-6-stencil-rose-bouquet/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">The Crafters Workshop Stencil "Rose Bouquet"</a> and <a href="https://scrappingclearly.com.au/?s=Dina+Wakley+Acrylic+Paint&post_type=product" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Dina Wakley Acrylic Paint</a> in Fuchsia and Magenta to create some flowers around the face.</div>

Once this was all dry I added details with paint pens, a Stabilo Pencil and more scribble sticks (particularly to the face). I still felt it needed something more so I went a little crazy with the <a href="https://scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/inkadinkado/inkadinkado-stamping-gear-collection-inkadinkaclings-rubber-stamps-ferns/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Inkadinkado Cling stamps: "Ferns"</a> to add some foliage to the flowers.</div>

I always Gesso my pages if I am using acrylic paint or inks and this is no exception, I threw a bit of paint around on this one but wanted it soft and subtle. I used Jane Davenport's paint colours in <a href="https://scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/jane-davenport/jane-davenport-i-love-you-pink-charismatic-acrylic-paint/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">"I Love You Pink" </a> and <a href="https://scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/jane-davenport/jane-davenport-minty-fresh-charismatic-acrylic-paint/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">"Minty Fresh"</a> with a little Dina Wakley paint in <a href="https://scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/dina-wakley/paint/dina-wakley-media-heavy-body-metallic-acrylic-paint-1oz-sky/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">"Sky"</a>.

A Big Hello to Everyone and welcome to my very first project for Scrapping Clearly!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
I hope I can inspire some creativity today with an Art Journal Page.</div>

Truth be told, I have a lot of Journals on the go, but this one is currently my fave.... a <a href="https://scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/art-by-marlene/art-by-marlene-art-journal-19x25cm/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">19x25 journal by Art By Marlene.</a> I just love how you can take out the pages to work on so you no longer have to worry about spoiling the pages before or after....yes I am messy!</div>

I used lots of acrylic paint, all found in store, stencils a plenty and of course stamps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
There are loads of layers and it did go through many ugly stages, before I had to stop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">

I started by stamping the faces on tissue and getting them on the page with <a href="https://scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/brand-the-crafters-workshop/tcw-mediums/the-crafters-workshop-gel-medium-matte-8-ounces/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Gel Medium.</a></div>

Once dry, I stamped randomly with a Carabelle Studio Stamp called Mixed Media Strips. I then started throwing the paint around using, predominantly, Dina Wakley's acrylics in Black, Turquiose, and Ancient. For the touches of red I used Art Anthology Velvet Dimensional Medium in "Desire".</div>

I applied the Ancient coloured paint through a 6x6 stencil by The Crafters Workshop called "Infinite Lace". I then added some more stamping and made some marks with white and black and Turquoise Posca Pens. I also added more scribbly details to the faces just for fun.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone.....I am back after a long spell recharging the old batteries! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been creating believe it or not, just not posting as much here. I have cut back on my DT commitments to create just for the fun of it, getting back to the reason we all start our creative journey! I feel so much better for it, and feel that the projects I am working on are much more "Me" somehow....I can seriously recommend a creative vacation to everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So getting back to why I am here.....Soul Journey 2018! When I was asked to participate in this year long concept I was blown away, not only by the fabulous concept but also the high quality and talent of all the other teachers all gathered for a very cool journey of the soul!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is Soul Journey? I hear you ask? Well Soul Journey is a year-long FREE event where guest artists make wonderful projects all based around the theme of mental health, self-care and love and of course happiness. It is the brain child of the very giving Annette Poucher and her team of lovelies, and it is not too late to check it out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/147385605991287/">Here</a> is the FB link with all you need to know and it is not too late to join in so what have you got to loose? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So lets get on with it shall we? I have created a hand-painted arty tote and also a process video so you can all create one too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of the materials used can be purchased from <a href="https://artandsoulstudio.com.au/">Art And Soul Studio</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So enough of me here are some pics and the video at the end, hope you enjoy!</div>

Hi everyone it’s Michelle back to share an art journal page I created using the fabulous new</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=55&products_id=4492" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); color: #676767; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">Dramatic Dancer Stencil</a> from Scrap FX as the main focus of the page.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Dramatic Dancer stencil - Click Image to Close" class="aligncenter" height="217" src="https://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/images/Dancer-stencil.jpg" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" title=" Dramatic Dancer stencil - Click Image to Close " width="132" /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
Isn’t she just so fabulous??</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
I just love how “Arty” she is, it makes my page look so cool, but the technique is so basic!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
I also used the <a href="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=58&products_id=4493" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); color: #676767; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">Fancy Feather Stamps</a> in the background to add movement.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Fancy Feather stamps - Click Image to Close" height="151" src="https://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/images/Fancy-feather-stamps.jpg" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" title=" Fancy Feather stamps - Click Image to Close " width="149" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
So here is the page:<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IwArgYJycQw/WfEzh5QEOQI/AAAAAAAAE4U/nfmf_Y7cTEA_e-h3FPm80sLKqHOkSJNeACLcBGAs/s1600/fxoct-dance1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="953" data-original-width="1600" height="380" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IwArgYJycQw/WfEzh5QEOQI/AAAAAAAAE4U/nfmf_Y7cTEA_e-h3FPm80sLKqHOkSJNeACLcBGAs/s640/fxoct-dance1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
I wanted the page to look like she was creating a rainbow of colour till she moved into the drama of the darkest colour, really like how it turned out!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
I started with a gessoed background and laid down the Paynes Grey Acrylic paint to start with. Then used the stamp in the wet paint to create feather images across the 2 pages.<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--Dr5xmHHezk/WfEy-37RgEI/AAAAAAAAE34/GK2RbpPQrLMsQh3IEmKioseuYuZ4zHylQCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC05994.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="993" data-original-width="1241" height="512" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--Dr5xmHHezk/WfEy-37RgEI/AAAAAAAAE34/GK2RbpPQrLMsQh3IEmKioseuYuZ4zHylQCLcBGAs/s640/DSC05994.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
Then once that was dry I added the bright lighter colours using watercolours as I wanted lots of drippy goodness.<br />
<br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
I sprayed some Marabu Art spray in gold across the page and through the <a href="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=55&products_id=2137" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); color: #676767; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">Flower Pattern Stencil</a> (small), adding splashes as I went.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
I stamped some script with a stamp and Stazon ink.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6nrJLxROgHU/WfEy_OUYuSI/AAAAAAAAE4A/O0mnut_9o0MaO3XZ5YWIw258EXfMBoj2gCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC05995.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1466" data-original-width="896" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6nrJLxROgHU/WfEy_OUYuSI/AAAAAAAAE4A/O0mnut_9o0MaO3XZ5YWIw258EXfMBoj2gCLcBGAs/s640/DSC05995.jpg" width="390" /></a></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
Now time for the Dancer! I mixed Gold Metallic Acrylic Paint with some Impasto Medium to give it some body, then applied it through the stencil.<br />
<br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14pt; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
I stamped the Quote on to some tissue paper then added it to the page with Matt Medium.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8IX0iXiIieE/WfEzASPCkbI/AAAAAAAAE4I/LaIk3lr8no864a7xdEW9EEZ-foGMebrdQCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC05998JPG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1504" height="424" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8IX0iXiIieE/WfEzASPCkbI/AAAAAAAAE4I/LaIk3lr8no864a7xdEW9EEZ-foGMebrdQCLcBGAs/s640/DSC05998JPG.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

Hi Everyone, just a quick post to show you my little mini books that I will be showing everyone how to do at Paperific on Friday and Sunday at the Artified Stand. So why not come play with me? I am really looking forward to seeing everyone and having a little painterly fun!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here are the mini books I have been playing around with....so simple but look great as little gifts instead of cards! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you wish to make these for yourself there is a little step by step on the <a href="https://artifiedblog.blogspot.com.au/2017/08/mini-watercolour-booklet-using-artified.html">Artified </a>blog if interested....or you could come join me at Paperific....hint hint!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are made with the Watercolour Mixed Media Kit available at Artified<a href="https://www.artified.com.au/collections/mixed-media-kits"> HERE</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I had a little play with the new <a href="https://www.artified.com.au/collections/marabu-art-spray-50ml?page=1" style="color: #4d469c; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Acrylic Art Sprays by Marabu</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These little bottles of colour are just awesome, so bright, beautiful and permanent!</div>

These sprays are permanent when dry, they will not reactivate like other water soluble sprays like Dylusions. They are a flat colour spray so they can be used in combination with other shimmery mists to create beautiful effects, I am going to play a little more with them to really discover how well that permanent property can work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the page that evolved from that play:</div>

Do try and get your hands on some of these babies they are a heap of fun, and combine really well with all the other sprays in your stash. When I went in to grab these they were flying off the shelves!</div>

I started with gesso and paper layers then added more paint through stencils, stamping and Washi Tape then used the black as a unifying colour to bring all the elements together. I applied paint with a palette knife brushes and my fingers till I was happy with the composition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a little bit of detail for you:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The focal point was made with a Kraft card and a few Dina Wakley stamps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up <b>"Me...".</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this one I made a stencil out of a magazine image, then used that shape to create my figure out of old book paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a bit of fun splashing paint around and stamping on a Gessoed page, then stuck the figure down with Matt Gel Medium.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some paint to the figure through a few stencils and added details with a Stabillo all pencil and paint pens.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eohVrQbRyEg/WP7FmN-hDHI/AAAAAAAAEi4/hwlFQegsyBkNzG8jLt2wgMCPo-cuJEIuQCLcB/s1600/DSC05113.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eohVrQbRyEg/WP7FmN-hDHI/AAAAAAAAEi4/hwlFQegsyBkNzG8jLt2wgMCPo-cuJEIuQCLcB/s640/DSC05113.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The shadow around the figure I did with the pencil and a touch of water applied with my finger to blend.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few more stamped images and the page was done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now for my last page to share, <b>"Be....".</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Used a lot of scraps here and had some fun with paint and stamps, this one was very quick and easy to create.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Yaanj7PbLHg/WP7DtpvgPMI/AAAAAAAAEig/E3dkUsnFqoAQ7nRk_LY8bsq0hdsP0d7kACLcB/s1600/artifiedapril3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="540" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Yaanj7PbLHg/WP7DtpvgPMI/AAAAAAAAEig/E3dkUsnFqoAQ7nRk_LY8bsq0hdsP0d7kACLcB/s640/artifiedapril3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by adding old book paper shapes across the Gessoed page, then added my paint colours with my palette knife. I then rubbed the paint off through a stencil with a baby wipe to leave interesting patterns underneath.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of layers of paint and stencilling created the background, then it was time to focus on the foreground of the page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted something simple but I also wanted it to cover a lot of, what was, a very busy background. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kdAhgWLLUdo/WP7FseQdG8I/AAAAAAAAEi8/BwcnXBTAOigwXs1wJFNwKEycZAi94EiNQCLcB/s1600/DSC05123.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kdAhgWLLUdo/WP7FseQdG8I/AAAAAAAAEi8/BwcnXBTAOigwXs1wJFNwKEycZAi94EiNQCLcB/s640/DSC05123.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went through my scrap paper stash and came up with some old black lined paper....do not ask me where I got that from....no idea!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I punched out the circles with an old punch and laid it across the double page so that the circles framed just enough of that busy background. I then added some paint on a stamp to make the paper part of the composition and added some stamped words and the page was done!</div>

Hi everyone, I am back with a catch up, so this comes with a long post warning....yep I have been a little busy, just don't find much time to sit and share them here. I would rather play some more!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here are a few of my Art Journal pages I have been playing with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First off, my obsession with faces continues, with varying degrees of success. I think it all depends on my mood as to wether I like the girl that emerges.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A-i-ulrG28M/WNJmqeEpafI/AAAAAAAAEhg/Fen0ZUzsaPUV3yx3z_wobFMPTSCSaIb7wCLcB/s1600/blugirlwm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A-i-ulrG28M/WNJmqeEpafI/AAAAAAAAEhg/Fen0ZUzsaPUV3yx3z_wobFMPTSCSaIb7wCLcB/s640/blugirlwm.jpg" width="446" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do like this girl, and you must notice that I have used purple...a colour I rarely use and I have surprised myself with the outcome!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S4AP36Q87lQ/WNJpoE0rJXI/AAAAAAAAEh0/n29eJnPAQ7gHkx-RhjUq4tRZJ-AU89NswCLcB/s1600/DSC05757.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S4AP36Q87lQ/WNJpoE0rJXI/AAAAAAAAEh0/n29eJnPAQ7gHkx-RhjUq4tRZJ-AU89NswCLcB/s640/DSC05757.jpg" width="286" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am trying to create different "girls" as when I started, I seemed to always draw the same girl and that was truly frustrating!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My next Girl, with very large eyes! Each girl is really part of a learning process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1ZvN13_EiRM/WNJmwclU_II/AAAAAAAAEhk/6fz0e_DYuKQS9MMo_kgeugub3Lkb01bdACLcB/s1600/strenfthwm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1ZvN13_EiRM/WNJmwclU_II/AAAAAAAAEhk/6fz0e_DYuKQS9MMo_kgeugub3Lkb01bdACLcB/s640/strenfthwm.jpg" width="448" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really loved the background on this one, using the torn Notebook stamp by Scrap FX created an interesting distressed, grunged up look that really appealed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FTHEaw0kh1o/WNJps_zQXZI/AAAAAAAAEh8/But-k9ucWZoZ-KLM5QORLBV9kARFvquygCLcB/s1600/DSC05768.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FTHEaw0kh1o/WNJps_zQXZI/AAAAAAAAEh8/But-k9ucWZoZ-KLM5QORLBV9kARFvquygCLcB/s640/DSC05768.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My next 2 pages are heavily influenced and inspired by the lovely Dina Wakley, I have also used her stamps and paint combined with a new lace stencil by Scrap FX on the first one.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ittLBjducv0/WNJqrDBPu0I/AAAAAAAAEiM/X3tzfQxkLjAVSMCOH788Iy_ViaN08HXVwCLcB/s1600/Blessingswm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ittLBjducv0/WNJqrDBPu0I/AAAAAAAAEiM/X3tzfQxkLjAVSMCOH788Iy_ViaN08HXVwCLcB/s640/Blessingswm.jpg" width="462" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then there is one for the birds! Used Dina stamps, stencils and her lovely thick paint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4o_XHqHg9vw/WNJmxLhxFdI/AAAAAAAAEho/ObbgP-weykMebTgLp4MRUp9yQzmBaDhtgCLcB/s1600/wingswm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4o_XHqHg9vw/WNJmxLhxFdI/AAAAAAAAEho/ObbgP-weykMebTgLp4MRUp9yQzmBaDhtgCLcB/s640/wingswm.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you all still with me? We are almost done now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sticking with that bird theme, this one travels over 2 pages, tried drawing a bird this time, cannot always draw the same thing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last one for this post I promise!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one I used a tissue stamping technique that gives a wonderful multiple image look that I love and have done a few pages lately using it, so be prepared for more shares later! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A big Hello everyone, I am back with my first 2017 project created with a mystery box from <a href="https://www.artified.com.au/">Artified</a>. It's a little something fun....and a little bit of a challenge!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As part of the Artified Design Team I received a little kit of goodies to play with, and to give myself a further challenge I decided to keep to these supplies as much as possible, to prove that you do not need much in the way of supplies to create with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So lets get on with it shall we?......here is the mini kit I received:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to really put my thinking cap on for this one, as that colour was tricky (at least it was for me, kept looking like blood if I wanted any drippage!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to stick with minimal colour palette and use supplies that everyone has in their stash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here is my creation using mainly the supplies sent with the addition of a few staples, like Gesso, stamps and washi tape.</div>

And here is how I created it, I found breaking that blank page was the hardest thing to do, once I got going it came together easily and quickly....so much so I forgot to get a few picks for the step by step so apologies there....next time I think i should do a video!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lets get on with it shall we....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li> First thing to do was to coat the paper with a layer of white Gesso.</li>
<li>Then I tried to create a colour that was not so in your face....so to speak....so I added some white gesso to create a softer background colour then added it to the page and then sprayed it with water to move the colour around.</li>
</ul>
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>While still wet I added some Shapes to the background using the stencil and a fairly dry baby wipe to rub the paint back, revealing cool textures.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Then added a few splashes with the original Watermelon paint colour.</li>
<li>Next I added Black Gesso to some white Gesso to get a grey colour, and added some splashes to the page. </li>
</ul>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">I then added a few of the circle shapes across the page with a sponge through the stencil ( and here is where I got a little carried away and forgot a few progress shots so I will try and talk you through it!</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E7yrTDMxz-s/WKU7WPJnS0I/AAAAAAAAEgk/VWLQvUx7a54Nz1tvh6yxe841UuJXzUkTQCLcB/s1600/IMG_3679.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E7yrTDMxz-s/WKU7WPJnS0I/AAAAAAAAEgk/VWLQvUx7a54Nz1tvh6yxe841UuJXzUkTQCLcB/s400/IMG_3679.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li> The circles looked cool but I needed more interest so added some lines with a card in both Watermelon and the grey colours.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bN_9OqAdO4U/WKU7WKKHpKI/AAAAAAAAEgg/bmtiYyYLmhIAdIBLwWLcDc_RDNlEGm3zQCLcB/s1600/IMG_3680.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bN_9OqAdO4U/WKU7WKKHpKI/AAAAAAAAEgg/bmtiYyYLmhIAdIBLwWLcDc_RDNlEGm3zQCLcB/s400/IMG_3680.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li> Then it was time to scribble and make some marks with the Stabilo pencil, loved using the lines here.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zwjIgxOUE0k/WKU7Wba7QtI/AAAAAAAAEgo/MA0rRLE8RWsnd7faCsdlVr73C7AxbAiwACLcB/s1600/IMG_3681.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zwjIgxOUE0k/WKU7Wba7QtI/AAAAAAAAEgo/MA0rRLE8RWsnd7faCsdlVr73C7AxbAiwACLcB/s640/IMG_3681.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li> I added a piece of torn book paper across the middle of the page ready to add the main focal point.</li>
<li>I added a few cool dots using black gesso through the stencil and torn strips of washi tape across the book paper to create a cohesive composition.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GuCfa-lWw_c/WKU7XZgYKVI/AAAAAAAAEgw/NXaIY_SAN3gXoVKG7d2rJvddYZrLYA1TwCLcB/s1600/IMG_3682.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GuCfa-lWw_c/WKU7XZgYKVI/AAAAAAAAEgw/NXaIY_SAN3gXoVKG7d2rJvddYZrLYA1TwCLcB/s640/IMG_3682.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Oopsy once again got really carried away with the process, so here is what I did:</li>
<li>I stamped some Face images on the Deli paper making sure they overlapped a little, then stamped a third image on scrap paper and gave her a little rosy cheek using a watermelon gesso mix of paint. This image will be the main focal point to the page.</li>
<li>Using gel medium I glued the tissue images down first then the main face with the rosy cheeks.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<ul>
<li> I used the pencil to add some scribbly details to the main image and more scribbles onto the background.</li>
<li>Using an alphabet stamp and the Watermelon paint I added the "SHE" words and more lines with a card.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XRr_8ChDJpc/WKU5TxkX5uI/AAAAAAAAEfw/lIlZzRQZax8cpsix24CLDbcS9KjnJdonQCLcB/s1600/DSC05745.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="488" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XRr_8ChDJpc/WKU5TxkX5uI/AAAAAAAAEfw/lIlZzRQZax8cpsix24CLDbcS9KjnJdonQCLcB/s640/DSC05745.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I stamped some sentiments to add to the words on scrap paper, glued them down and added some pen work to highlight both words and phrases.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sDX6R3YVuPM/WKU5a5g-cPI/AAAAAAAAEf0/etSZamKTMp0NkFk5w1XJNdgOIwcDdtjuQCLcB/s1600/DSC05746.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sDX6R3YVuPM/WKU5a5g-cPI/AAAAAAAAEf0/etSZamKTMp0NkFk5w1XJNdgOIwcDdtjuQCLcB/s640/DSC05746.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone told you I would be back! This time another catch up page created for Colour Blast complete with another tutorial....enjoy!</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wZkpZci8XRw/WFe6B7w5GbI/AAAAAAAAEcs/GGFF0pVDJ2oma9MCkeKgw0jNrSZbpBGXACLcB/s1600/cbjan1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wZkpZci8XRw/WFe6B7w5GbI/AAAAAAAAEcs/GGFF0pVDJ2oma9MCkeKgw0jNrSZbpBGXACLcB/s640/cbjan1.jpg" width="592" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So lets begin a step by step how I created it:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I began by using Alpha stickers to create a textured background.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Coat the entire page with Gesso, covering the letters so that you are left with a blank canvas to work with.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Choose your colour palette, I have used: Colour Mica Powder in <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=142">Polar</a> & Colour Shimmer Dust in <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=140&page=3">Duke</a>, <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=140&page=2">Cobalt</a> and <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=140&page=1">Navy</a>.</div>
<br />
<ul></ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wZWGwRClMiE/WFfMLNLSJ1I/AAAAAAAAEdk/6zFc05oLOFgoHfbJexfj2fAqUJzXzfnagCLcB/s1600/CBJANPRO1%2BCollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wZWGwRClMiE/WFfMLNLSJ1I/AAAAAAAAEdk/6zFc05oLOFgoHfbJexfj2fAqUJzXzfnagCLcB/s640/CBJANPRO1%2BCollage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">Spray the background lightly with water then add the powders starting with the lightest through to the darker colours.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">Move the page to move the colour and add more water for further movement.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">Soak up puddles with a baby wipe, and take off some colour where needed. I have taken some colour off the letters to make them pop a little! </span><br />
<ul></ul>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FrQS4KRSV18/WFfMEvFpSJI/AAAAAAAAEdU/HxcM-6ZujbstGaXpL5OKFm4iFW9yptQbQCLcB/s1600/CBJAN1PRO2Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="257" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FrQS4KRSV18/WFfMEvFpSJI/AAAAAAAAEdU/HxcM-6ZujbstGaXpL5OKFm4iFW9yptQbQCLcB/s640/CBJAN1PRO2Collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Add a darker colour and a little shimmer with <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=131&page=3">Dusty Charcoal</a> Colour Shimmer Spray.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a brush and the sprayer to move the colour around and add splashes.</span></div>
<br />
<ul></ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XXQN7HqzD_c/WFfMEpWT7DI/AAAAAAAAEdQ/yNsiCQbMN1Ys6jcR4qasaQ_y6R5EPP_iwCLcB/s1600/CBJAN1PRO3Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XXQN7HqzD_c/WFfMEpWT7DI/AAAAAAAAEdQ/yNsiCQbMN1Ys6jcR4qasaQ_y6R5EPP_iwCLcB/s640/CBJAN1PRO3Collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to make the letters stand out more so I used Colour Embossing Powders randomly in various colours, and layered them to create depth.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The colours I used are: <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=130&page=2">Singing the Blues</a>, <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=130&page=3">Steel</a> and <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=130&page=3">Stormy Weather</a>.</span></div>
<br />
<ul></ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rTJ7rpuKgfs/WFfMIensGDI/AAAAAAAAEdc/gg0ckXVK65MKWxPGOT1PYIlde-y8aNquwCLcB/s1600/CBJAN1PRO4Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="259" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rTJ7rpuKgfs/WFfMIensGDI/AAAAAAAAEdc/gg0ckXVK65MKWxPGOT1PYIlde-y8aNquwCLcB/s640/CBJAN1PRO4Collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After making a few more splashes I used grey acrylic paint and an old card to create thin stripes going down the page and over the textures.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I added some Torn pieces of printed tissue with Gel Medium.</span></div>
<br />
<ul></ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gJ9_5D68YfI/WFfMJaAlmoI/AAAAAAAAEdg/_W3UQ9R56QUhJjkmpEYEBVnHViOYlmwuwCLcB/s1600/CBJAN1PRO5Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="249" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gJ9_5D68YfI/WFfMJaAlmoI/AAAAAAAAEdg/_W3UQ9R56QUhJjkmpEYEBVnHViOYlmwuwCLcB/s640/CBJAN1PRO5Collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now time to add the photo that I mounted on layers of patterned paper from my stash.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now for the Title, simply treated with the same Colour Embossing Powders used for the lettered background.</span></div>
<br />
<ul></ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BsYTB4If9mY/WFfME0gxR7I/AAAAAAAAEdY/n_EF-U7gwiMrx3fX9DNPxlb6mi66cnrewCLcB/s1600/CBJAN16Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BsYTB4If9mY/WFfME0gxR7I/AAAAAAAAEdY/n_EF-U7gwiMrx3fX9DNPxlb6mi66cnrewCLcB/s640/CBJAN16Collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Using alpha stickers as texture is so easy and turns out very effective. You can use up all the left over letters that you know you have in that stash!!! They do not all have to be that same font either.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone and a happy belated New year!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Apologies for not being around but I was having a wonderful fun filled summer!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I now have to face up to all the catching up I have to do.....and the washing!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So over the next week or so I am going to catch up on my projects that have not reached this little old blog. First up here is a layout and tutorial I did for Colour Blast late last year...I think...LOL!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The LO features one of my gorgeous nieces that live a long way away in the States.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love getting their photos, it is a chance for me to get a girlie fix, not that this page is very girlie really you could do the same for a masculine page too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here is the page:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8vM4t-4TAK8/WEqaJZTpZUI/AAAAAAAAEbM/YNT841aXlXYhCzpt08EnBZRojDOjfi17gCLcB/s1600/cbdec2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8vM4t-4TAK8/WEqaJZTpZUI/AAAAAAAAEbM/YNT841aXlXYhCzpt08EnBZRojDOjfi17gCLcB/s640/cbdec2.jpg" width="592" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And now a few step by step pics to show how I created it:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I drew roughly where I wanted to place the ball flower thingies...lets call them blooms form now on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tore up old book paper and glued the pieces down with Gel Medium as a start to my Blooms.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: start;"></span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: start;"></span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: start;"><br /></span><span style="text-align: start;"></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uNSiDhnPFKU/WEqrWQ7fhgI/AAAAAAAAEb8/xjhRm8BbFiQojBgUHijYxMViLySoR1BqACLcB/s1600/cbdec2pro1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="356" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uNSiDhnPFKU/WEqrWQ7fhgI/AAAAAAAAEb8/xjhRm8BbFiQojBgUHijYxMViLySoR1BqACLcB/s640/cbdec2pro1.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Once dry I added some Glass bead Gel to create some texture.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then chose my colour scheme and gathered supplies....time to get splashy with colour!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I splattered a few drops of Colour Shimmer Spray in <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=131&page=3">Bling</a> first all over the page.</div>
<br />
<ul></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GZKJWHtGz8o/WEqrWlGMdYI/AAAAAAAAEcA/mxXDKH0W4vohpn9u6E7KvF2KIickCUHzQCLcB/s1600/cbdec2pro2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="355" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GZKJWHtGz8o/WEqrWlGMdYI/AAAAAAAAEcA/mxXDKH0W4vohpn9u6E7KvF2KIickCUHzQCLcB/s640/cbdec2pro2.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I sprinkled Colour Mica Powder:<span style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=142">Lemon Zing</a> and Colour </span>Shimmer Dust:<span style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=140">Sunflower</a>, <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=140&page=2">Amber</a> & <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=140&page=2">Lollipop</a> on to the Blooms then added water with a brush moving the colour around into a ball shape.</span></span></div>
<br />
<ul></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f_HHkOyEJFk/WEqrVKWgHEI/AAAAAAAAEb4/T655OhIgY20-Rci-qpaPAyPlC9GsJI4iACLcB/s1600/cbdec2pro3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f_HHkOyEJFk/WEqrVKWgHEI/AAAAAAAAEb4/T655OhIgY20-Rci-qpaPAyPlC9GsJI4iACLcB/s640/cbdec2pro3.jpg" width="441" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I was not happy with the shapes they turned out a bit "Blobby" so I decided to use the sprayer out of the Colour Sprays: <span style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=139">Bubblegum</a> as a "brush" and do some defining scratches to make the blobs look a little more organic and loose.</span></span></div>
<br />
<ul></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5sp74YHrUmQ/WEqrWy6GOeI/AAAAAAAAEcE/0_O1pNY6WBUUpxuQvEZalVa9HWY2Chv1wCLcB/s1600/cbdec2pro4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5sp74YHrUmQ/WEqrWy6GOeI/AAAAAAAAEcE/0_O1pNY6WBUUpxuQvEZalVa9HWY2Chv1wCLcB/s640/cbdec2pro4.jpg" width="473" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They ended up looking a little more like flowers, loved the scratchy bits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I used the sprayer to splash more colour around the page. </div>
<br />
<ul></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A7bkFLVh3aQ/WEqrXveiWkI/AAAAAAAAEcI/OAmuUr1kVnQb6azVzztSXb3LzEUUCYNmACLcB/s1600/cbdec2pro5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A7bkFLVh3aQ/WEqrXveiWkI/AAAAAAAAEcI/OAmuUr1kVnQb6azVzztSXb3LzEUUCYNmACLcB/s640/cbdec2pro5.jpg" width="481" /></a> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did a total of 3 Blooms (have to work with odd numbers for balance).</span></div>
<br />
<ul></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I felt they still needed some texture so I reached for the Colour Embossing Powder<span style="text-align: center;"> in <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=130&page=3">Bling</a> adding a few layers heating as I sprinkled.</span> </span></div>
<br />
<ul></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added some doodly lines to define the blooms with a Posca paint pen in Black.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I can call them done now!</div>
<br />
<ul></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fYrjTqYHVpo/WEqrZS08e6I/AAAAAAAAEcU/0ZEXaY8RKEAglvuQoEQYc-725H2XVLZDQCLcB/s1600/cbdec2pro8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fYrjTqYHVpo/WEqrZS08e6I/AAAAAAAAEcU/0ZEXaY8RKEAglvuQoEQYc-725H2XVLZDQCLcB/s640/cbdec2pro8.jpg" width="516" /></a></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lastly I layered patterned paper around my photo, added the chipboard title that I painted black and lastly a few embossed chippy hearts done with the Bling Colour Embossing Powder<span style="text-align: center;"> to tie the composition together.</span> </span></div>
<br />
<ul></ul>

<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">So here is a step by step how I created it:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Glue down tissue with Gel Medium. I have used an old sewing pattern. Once dry I added a wash of white Gesso making the black lines recede into the background.</span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Once dry I splashed around some colour using the vibrant Colour Sprays. I started with the lighter colours then moving progressively darker. I added water between colours to move the splashes around creating a water colour effect. The colours I used are <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=139" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Saffron</a>, <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=139" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Sunset</a>, <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=139" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Bubblegum</a> and <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=139&page=2" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Grape</a>.</span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i3shDJOVZnE/WDQ7V7p_6KI/AAAAAAAAEXU/TE1fhVE_qVkx6Bjov_YCRifipDRfQJ78ACLcB/s1600/cbnov2proc3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #2562ff; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i3shDJOVZnE/WDQ7V7p_6KI/AAAAAAAAEXU/TE1fhVE_qVkx6Bjov_YCRifipDRfQJ78ACLcB/s320/cbnov2proc3.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(244, 244, 244); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="271" /></a> </span><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qbSNHM1Xz0w/WDQ7WKPLCGI/AAAAAAAAEXY/pQgrIbHiEfssVm0wTWZN5CDr1-_uT6QIACLcB/s1600/cbnov2proc4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #2562ff; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qbSNHM1Xz0w/WDQ7WKPLCGI/AAAAAAAAEXY/pQgrIbHiEfssVm0wTWZN5CDr1-_uT6QIACLcB/s320/cbnov2proc4.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(244, 244, 244); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="270" /></a><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Move the page around creating "drippage" and merging colours to get some interesting merging puddles of colour.</span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VNbEIvamPdM/WDQ7WwirWRI/AAAAAAAAEXc/6eniL9HGNp4vQ3UP_cFKzMbGALyFOUanwCLcB/s1600/cbnov2proc6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #2562ff; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VNbEIvamPdM/WDQ7WwirWRI/AAAAAAAAEXc/6eniL9HGNp4vQ3UP_cFKzMbGALyFOUanwCLcB/s320/cbnov2proc6.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(244, 244, 244); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="301" /></a></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> Once dry I wanted to add a little shine to the page so I sprayed with Colour Shimmer Spray in <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=131" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Bling</a>. It adds a wonderful subtle shine!</span></div>

Hey there everyone, I am back with a project I created just for the fun of it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have no idea what to call it so it is just a winged thing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here is the project, so so much fun to do!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y0XNORUDJ6s/WDVr1yxowlI/AAAAAAAAEYA/O08bZ8DzKEEeHllT7RHH9lN0e9MxM3zywCLcB/s1600/winged.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y0XNORUDJ6s/WDVr1yxowlI/AAAAAAAAEYA/O08bZ8DzKEEeHllT7RHH9lN0e9MxM3zywCLcB/s640/winged.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The base is a timber board that I coated with a layer of white Gesso, then added a layer of cheap joint medium to create a background with dimension replicating an old wall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zroel4QloJE/WDVr14pMK7I/AAAAAAAAEX8/c6aYYxVYxkwehZ-uFUwEdl9Qonk_9oX1QCLcB/s1600/winged1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="528" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zroel4QloJE/WDVr14pMK7I/AAAAAAAAEX8/c6aYYxVYxkwehZ-uFUwEdl9Qonk_9oX1QCLcB/s640/winged1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also added a layer of crackle paste, trying to add a peeling paint look to that wall!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I collected loads of stuff from my stash including an antique door plate that was a good fit as a "body" and a doll, that I ripped the head off......(strangely satisfying!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mvHB-b8AAE8/WDV2b44NBtI/AAAAAAAAEYQ/yWttvTAoSfghJbG1oVHlKKTcGZPwx5T8gCLcB/s1600/winged1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mvHB-b8AAE8/WDV2b44NBtI/AAAAAAAAEYQ/yWttvTAoSfghJbG1oVHlKKTcGZPwx5T8gCLcB/s640/winged1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used shells, Scrap FX chipboard coral and wings, watch parts, art stones, micro beads and beads to make up my whimsical creature.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-otdrlaCHHv8/WDV2fgqJvGI/AAAAAAAAEYU/QS2vFjnqpqAOQi-bfI87U2ylm3z7KIMXgCLcB/s1600/winged2wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-otdrlaCHHv8/WDV2fgqJvGI/AAAAAAAAEYU/QS2vFjnqpqAOQi-bfI87U2ylm3z7KIMXgCLcB/s640/winged2wm.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The doll only had a little bit of hair so I added shredded paper to the background to give her more flowing locks!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I glued everything down with heavy gel medium and the joint medium was a great filler behind the door plate and makes a great glue to the base!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once all was dry, the real fun began....adding tons of colour!</div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">This piece started as a bit of an experiment but I loved how she ended up!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is how I did it:</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First up I spread Light Texture paste over a sheet of water colour paper with a palette knife.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The paste has a grainy absorbant texture that I wanted to try the Shimmer Dusts and Mica Powders on to see what they would do on this very different surface.

<span style="font-size: medium;">I added my details using more of the Colour Shimmer Dusts with a water brush and a Stabillo all pencil (it is water soluble). Because the paste surface is porous, once the water hits the colour it fans out so her face will not have perfect details, but it gives her an ethereal other worldly look (if you know what I mean) look. </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Then I added flicks of white Gesso over the background and flowers. </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">A big Hello to all!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">I am back to catch up on a layout featuring my niece made for Colour Blast.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">I used this page to play with the new <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=142" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Colour Mica Powders</a> and <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=140" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Colour Shimmer Dusts.</a></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">So without further ado, here is the page:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bvdjUD3KTPk/V9joctYFNvI/AAAAAAAAEL8/Znjj8po4BxMLDPVmbtHWPlfwQmYiTJ5wACLcB/s1600/cbsept2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #2562ff; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bvdjUD3KTPk/V9joctYFNvI/AAAAAAAAEL8/Znjj8po4BxMLDPVmbtHWPlfwQmYiTJ5wACLcB/s640/cbsept2.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(244, 244, 244); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="580" /></a></div>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: center;">This was a fun and easy background to create, here is how I did it:</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">First up I created a puddle of colour on my plain cardstock using Colour Shimmer Dust in <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=140&page=2" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Amber</a> and Colour Shimmer Spray in <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=131&page=3" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Bling</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using the puddle as a "stamp pad" I then added some loose text print using a stamp. I did not want a perfect crisp image here I just wanted to create some interesting texture radiating out of the puddle.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;"></ul>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" />
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LPutt4Kuqoc/V9jowrS7gbI/AAAAAAAAEMI/Phak-7ZOJug_ORWFOSDYEc-5zmHsIN83wCLcB/s1600/IMG_0147.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; color: #2562ff; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LPutt4Kuqoc/V9jowrS7gbI/AAAAAAAAEMI/Phak-7ZOJug_ORWFOSDYEc-5zmHsIN83wCLcB/s320/IMG_0147.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(244, 244, 244); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="239" /></a><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pHxSxwCd9SE/V9jou4_1_aI/AAAAAAAAEMA/9cgAJz8eqz803YabWLLBhWc6lF4tcPehwCLcB/s1600/IMG_0146.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #2562ff; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pHxSxwCd9SE/V9jou4_1_aI/AAAAAAAAEMA/9cgAJz8eqz803YabWLLBhWc6lF4tcPehwCLcB/s320/IMG_0146.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(244, 244, 244); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="239" /></a></div>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then used a "watercolour cake" that I made earlier using Colour Mica Powder in<a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=142" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Watermelon</a>, Gum Arabic and water. I activated the cake with a spray of water then with a wet brush, I flicked over the page to create some splatters.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;"></ul>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" />
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While waiting for the puddle to dry, I layered my patterned papers under my photo and painted all my chipboard embellishments that I plan to use with white Gesso. I do this when I do not quite know what colour will work best with the page.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;"></ul>

<div style="text-align: center;">
With the main embellishment I decided I wanted to give it a bit of shine to make it pop forward not blend in to the background, so I treated it with a combination of <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=130&page=3" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Bling</a> and<a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=130&page=1" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Tangareen Dream</a> Colour Embossing Powders. I used a few layers to create a smooth finish.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;"></ul>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now back to the background! I decided it needed more depth so I added more splashes using Colour Shimmer Spray in <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=131&page=3" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Bling</a> and <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=131&page=1" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Tangareen Dream</a>, <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=139&page=2" style="color: #2562ff; text-decoration: none;">Road Base</a> Colour Spray and some stamped images using an Archival Stamp Pad.</div>

After laying the photo and embellishments down on the page I decided on the colour of the Title and other pieces needed no more than a coat of Black Gesso. </div>

Hi Everyone I am back finally!! This blog is so sadly neglected of late but I am trying my best in the next week or so to play catch up....so get ready everyone!!!<br />
So first up some projects I created for Scrap FX using loads of new goodies.</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
Ok here we go, I shall start with a simple wedding card.<br />
I have used the Scrap FX "Love banner" chippie as the main focus. It was absolutely perfect for the theme and super quick to put together!</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
<img alt="cardsept16" class="wp-image-20548 aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/cardsept16.jpg" src="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/cardsept16.jpg" height="618" style="display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="595" /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
The background was made using water colours in a few varying shades and the chippy piece was just painted black, add a few dots of perfect pearls and the job was done!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next, a scrapbook layout featuring my niece, it is very pink and girlie!!!</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
I used the<a data-mce-href="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=19&products_id=4007" href="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=19&products_id=4007"> Fancy Feathers (small)</a> as well as the fabulous <a data-mce-href="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=27_59&products_id=3993" href="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=27_59&products_id=3993">Spirit Phrase.</a></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Free Spirit phrase" data-mce-src="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/bmz_cache/5/5d8f6ea4cd6b775aebf06d6419c4327d.image.122x135.jpg" src="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/bmz_cache/5/5d8f6ea4cd6b775aebf06d6419c4327d.image.122x135.jpg" data-pin-nopin="true" height="135" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" title=" Free Spirit phrase " width="122" /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Spiritsept16" class="aligncenter wp-image-20549" data-mce-src="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/Spiritsept16.jpg" src="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/Spiritsept16.jpg" height="625" style="display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="583" /><br />
<br />
This was made with a quick painted and stamped background, layers of scrap paper and the chippies were heat embossed.<br />
Then we have 2 art journal pages:</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<img alt="Learning to Fly" class="alignnone aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/images/Learning-to-fly.jpg" src="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/images/Learning-to-fly.jpg" data-pin-nopin="true" height="176" style="display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" title=" Learning to Fly " width="155" /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
I so loved the <a data-mce-href="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9&products_id=3999" href="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9&products_id=3999">Learning to Fly Silhouette</a>, it reminded me of a quote in the children's book "Peter Pan", so I just had to get creative in my journal straight away!<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">And here is how I created it, so easy!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I started with a smashed page in my Journal (I often "smash" left over paint etc on spare pages, never want to waste anything). I splashed and stamped more colours to create a background.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S3jS4kTDH7w/V8Vri97J0bI/AAAAAAAAEJw/EQbjivP6itsKfN6zHKrPJ7FPZIka9ZHOQCLcB/s1600/IMG_3031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S3jS4kTDH7w/V8Vri97J0bI/AAAAAAAAEJw/EQbjivP6itsKfN6zHKrPJ7FPZIka9ZHOQCLcB/s640/IMG_3031.JPG" width="480" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">With a palette knife I slapped on some Colour Paste (<a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=132">Sunshine</a>) in a circle shape with texture to resemble an abstract "rose". I then added another colour to create depth (I used <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=132">Tangareen Dream</a> here).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D_xqc2zGmQE/V8VriWQVKrI/AAAAAAAAEJs/kthPTy8tqUEzrwnzurp1n-S2bYYYXiktQCLcB/s1600/IMG_3032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D_xqc2zGmQE/V8VriWQVKrI/AAAAAAAAEJs/kthPTy8tqUEzrwnzurp1n-S2bYYYXiktQCLcB/s640/IMG_3032.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The paste is very forgiving and you can rework it until you like the overall effect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-43HSFUMBSSQ/V8Vrj3BjQYI/AAAAAAAAEJ4/ZUew2am4PR8c-FV8lNvXUhU1BxmoYYToQCLcB/s1600/IMG_3033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-43HSFUMBSSQ/V8Vrj3BjQYI/AAAAAAAAEJ4/ZUew2am4PR8c-FV8lNvXUhU1BxmoYYToQCLcB/s640/IMG_3033.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I then repeated the process twice more to create my 3 main blooms!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WsgIBK1Ms9g/V8VrkjqhBnI/AAAAAAAAEJ8/MxGwm-OjQk0h-PgYut9SA9FhFLVsHIFLACLcB/s1600/IMG_3034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WsgIBK1Ms9g/V8VrkjqhBnI/AAAAAAAAEJ8/MxGwm-OjQk0h-PgYut9SA9FhFLVsHIFLACLcB/s200/IMG_3034.JPG" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b0Wl9yeRa1Q/V8VrlDU2ERI/AAAAAAAAEKA/MvvGPQmCXGgouopiFTUQNq1Cj_YmxhiDACLcB/s1600/IMG_3035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b0Wl9yeRa1Q/V8VrlDU2ERI/AAAAAAAAEKA/MvvGPQmCXGgouopiFTUQNq1Cj_YmxhiDACLcB/s200/IMG_3035.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I then changed to a <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=132">Rose Petal</a> with <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=132&page=3">Bling</a> colour combo and created some smaller blooms to resemble a bunch. As they dry the shine and metallic look comes through. If you are still not happy you can add more colour here with more paste, just keep adding till they bring a smile, you cannot go wrong!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MMoXrpMOxwk/V8Vrl7OZllI/AAAAAAAAEKE/rkb2TvpLhzIc-mYP7BbqY-TxcwtcEDO6ACLcB/s1600/IMG_3036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MMoXrpMOxwk/V8Vrl7OZllI/AAAAAAAAEKE/rkb2TvpLhzIc-mYP7BbqY-TxcwtcEDO6ACLcB/s640/IMG_3036.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Once they were all dry, I still wanted more colour variation so I gave them all a little spray with Colour Shimmer Spray in the centres allowing the colour to pool! I then had to step away from the blooms, enough was enough.....just had to stop before they were overworked!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wjoVCyk2lW4/V8VrmdzXqxI/AAAAAAAAEKI/KqrlHWQZo6IwFWSyUmST29MuPT0NlkX4ACLcB/s1600/IMG_3037.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wjoVCyk2lW4/V8VrmdzXqxI/AAAAAAAAEKI/KqrlHWQZo6IwFWSyUmST29MuPT0NlkX4ACLcB/s640/IMG_3037.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I then did my best to paint a vase underneath the blooms with acrylic paint.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ylBeB6OTncU/V8Vrm-o_4oI/AAAAAAAAEKM/R7WmLEtfCLwyIoX96hKnvT5WEi01QnKpwCLcB/s1600/IMG_3038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ylBeB6OTncU/V8Vrm-o_4oI/AAAAAAAAEKM/R7WmLEtfCLwyIoX96hKnvT5WEi01QnKpwCLcB/s640/IMG_3038.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Time to add some leaves to the bunch! I had no pastes in the colour green I was after, what to do????</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Simple..... I made my own! Using Colour Mica Powder in <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=142">Olive Grove</a> mixed well with Impasto to form a coloured paste, once dry the impasto is clear so the olive green of the mica powder shines through.</span></div>

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kfpbW0IYw10/V8gCxzX-cnI/AAAAAAAAELE/7-iEp-s2Vo0okE8qFYeVxpqPdFKzZ6DRwCLcB/s1600/IMG_3039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kfpbW0IYw10/V8gCxzX-cnI/AAAAAAAAELE/7-iEp-s2Vo0okE8qFYeVxpqPdFKzZ6DRwCLcB/s640/IMG_3039.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Apply the paste through a leaf stencil wherever you want the leaves to be. The leaves just finish the composition of the page, after all what is a flower with out its leaves???</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">So here is what it looks like after I added the leaves!</span></div>
