Calee CT - All In Good Time

 

 

Hello , this week my step by step is a double journal page spread . Using stamps ,Inkables and catalyst cards.

 

Firstly I lay down some colour randomly all over my  page using 3 distress oxide inks , Dried Marigold , Fossilised Amber and kitsch Flamingo. Then using the Fossilised Amber I added some stencilling through the Mandala 4 inkable.

Next I chose this catalyst collage paper from the Painted Gaze pack , I decided to use this one as it had similar colours to my background.

Tearing carefully around the portrait and other features from the paper , I glued them down on to my pages .

Next I added some texture to my page with some coloured texture paste , I decided to pick out the blue colour from the catalyst paper as it gave a bright contrast . I used a diamond patterned D’inkable from set 2 for this.

 

 

Some stamping came next , using clocks from the Time Wasted set and the Journal Arts Elements 3 stamp sets . 

 

My next step was to add a little more detail to my background with a doodled boarder and some  dots and doodles with a white gel pen .

 

 Finally I added a sentiment in 3 parts from The best  things take Time transparency sheet . 

Thank you for taking a look at my step by step guide .

Happy crafting

Sally CT - Be Authentic Journal page

 Hi There! Thought I would share how I made this Journal page with you today. 

I began by painting the two pages with Dylusions paints in Peony Blush, Laidback Lilac and Blue Lagoon.

Once this was dry I used a sharpie and a white gel pen to add borders to the stripes on the left hand page. 

I stamped the leaves onto the Right hand page using versafine clair black ink.

In the stripes I also stamped some of the circular worker stamps in the same ink. 

Next I used more of the worker stamps, but stamped these in lost shadow Distress oxide ink on both pages. 

I used the sharpie and the white gel pen to add the words, before stamping around both pages using Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink.

Here's a final look at both pages again.

I used:

Journaling essentials #4

6" square Kraft Journal

Dylusions paints - I used Peony Blush, Laidback Lilac and Blue Lagoon

Black Sharpie pen

White gel pen

Distress oxide ink -I used Lost shadow and Wilted violet

Black versafine clair ink

Alison CT - Ridiculously Fabulous

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using one of the A5 Painted Gaze catalyst collage papers, d'inkables, the sketchy birds stamp set and a wordy sticker.

To begin, I cut the collage paper to fit my 6x6 inch Pink Pig journal and glued it to the page.

I used a white Posca pen to add faux stitching around the edge of the page, to outline the flowers and to add lines to the petals and spits to the centre of the flowers.

Next, I used black soot distress oxide through one of the d'inkables from set 12. 

Then, I applied grit paste to the flowers through one of the d'inkables from set 3. I left this to dry.

On seperate card, I stamped the chaffinch, from the Sketchy Burds stamp set, and coloured it with a black alcohol marker. I then cut it out and used the black marker to edge it, so no white was visible.

I glued the bird to the bottom left of the page, ensuring his feet sat on one of the black stenciled lines.

Finally, I added a sentiment from the Wordy Stickers 1B sheet. To make it stand out, I outlined it with a white Posca pen.

Calee CT - floral card

Hi , this week I have had a few cards to make , so I’m sharing with you my step by step process for this floral one. 

I decided on a 6 x6 inch white card base and choose the ledger page style catalyst cards from pack #4 , for my background , 

My first step was to cut the catalyst card to size , leaving room to add an extra mounting layer if I wanted to later  . I then inked all around the edge with distress ink Villainous Potion and added a coffee stain using distress ink Vintage Photo and one of the stamps from the Arts stamps Coffee stains set . 

Thinking my background needed a little more I used the same purple ink and a paint brush to add a few splatters.

Next I used the Doodle Art Butterfly stamp set , to create my focal images , using the flower from this set rather than the butterfly , that gives its name. 

I stamped two of the flowers on to one of the catalyst cards from set #3 and cut out these along with some of the small hearts also featured on this design . 

My next step was to mount up the background on to my card blank , adding a matting layer of Kraft  card which I have a darker edge using the Vintage Photo distress ink. 

At this stage I also added a stitched border with a black fine liner pen .

The last step for this card was to add a sentiment , this was stamped on to a piece of the same ledger catalyst card and mounted on kraft card .

Finally feeling my card need something to give it a little lift and lightening , I added some white paint splashes .

Here is my finished card , thank you for stopping by and taking a look .

Happy crafting

Sally CT - Speak Your Truth Journal Spread

 

Hi There! Thought I would show you how I made this journal spread today. 

I began by blending Distress oxide ink in wavy lines across the pages. This page had had some matte medium and tissue paper applied to the centre where the book was falling apart a little. 

Next I inked up the Dinkable with Black soot, sprayed with water and pressed onto the pages 3 times. 

I used the same inks to colour a seperate piece of paper . 

I stamped the Doodle Art Gerbera large flower onto this and cut it out. 

On a scrap of the remaining paper I also stamped the small gerbera and cut that out too. 

I stamped a leaf from Journaling essentials #3 onto a scrap of white paper several times and cut those out too. 

using some of the other stamps from the set I added stamping around the page. I added the large flower and 5 leaves to the right page using matte medium.

I found a sentiment to add to the left page on a transparency sheet and added it using matte medium again. 

Finally I added a few white splatters with my posca, stuck the small flower in the bottom left corner with the remaining leaves and added white highlights to both flowers using a gel pen. 

I used

5x5" square notebook

Distress oxide ink in Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserve, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Peacock feathers and Black soot

Alison CT - Doodle Art Dragonfly

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this small art journal page using the Doodle Art Dragonfly, a couple of Inkables and Dylusions paints. 

To begin I used Dylusions paints to create a background in my small square art journal. I usedwhite linen, laidback lilac and rose quartz paint. I left this to dry naturally.

I then added picket fence distress ink through the bead curtaininkable tag from set 5 and distress grit paste through the dots and lines texture disc from set 4. This was left to dry naturally.

Next, I stamped the border from the Doodle Art Dragonfly stamp set to the top right and bottom left corners using lilac bloom Versafine Clair. 

Then I stamped the dragonfly using Versafine Clair nocturne and coloured it with distress watercolour pencils. I cut it out.

I used matte medium to glue the dragonfly to the page. I then added one of the wordy stickers sentiments from sheet 3. I used a black fineliner to add a sketchy border to each of the stickers.
