Dream and Fears

Good evening crafty Friends,  I have some fun ATC's to share with you today using  stamps from

I used the fun Leave Your Fears & No Space For Dreams Sets today along with a Distress Ink Background. 

I started with a piece of watercolor paper and applied Picked Raspberry, Mermaid Lagoon & Fossilized Amber Distress Inks with a Mini Ranger Blending Tool. I then swiped a baby wipe thru the Joggles Punchinella Trio Stencil. Once dry, I used the blending tool and applied Seedless Preserves Distress Ink thru a Crafter's Workshop-  Sketch Grid Stencil and Black Soot thru the Crafter's Workshop- Mini Cubist Stencil for added dimension. I then cut my piece down to two pieces at 2.25'x3.25'. 

I stamped the Leave Your Fears image and Sentiment with Jet Black Archival Ink using my MISTI. 

I added some doodling with a White Signo Gel Pen and Nuvo Enamel Drops and finished by mounting the piece to black cardstock cut to regular ATC size of 2.5'x3.5'. 

I did the same with the Dreamcatcher and sentiment from the No Space for Dreams set. 

Seeing as I had my supplies out, I also made a tag using the silhouette stamp from the No Space for Dreams Set. 

I started with a tag cut from watercolor paper which I spritzed down with  water.  I then sprayed Dylusions Ink Sprays in Pure Sunshine, Post Box Red & Tangerine Dreams. I embossed the silhouette stamp with white detail embossing powder and stamped the sentiment with Jet Black Archival Ink.  I then added some background texture with the stiched stamp from 49 & Market- Gabi's Line Stitched set with Rhubarb Stalk Memento Ink. 

Here's a close up of the embossed silhouette which I think "POPS" from the watercolor like background. 

I sure I've inspired you to get INKY & CRAFTY today.

Faery Ink~ Gabbie Poppy Fae

Good Morning Crafty Friends, I'm here to share a card I created for

using the newly released Gabbie Poppy Fae. How gorgeous is she??? 

I knew I wanted to create a luscious scene for this pretty image as soon as I saw it.

I used Twinkling H20's in Poppy Red for my background, how appropriate is that? LOL! I just love the gold shimmer in it....unfortunately, the camera doesn't pick it up well. I then stamped the Dylusions Around the Edge-Leaves with Jet Black Archival Ink and colored them in with Cut Grass Dylusions Paint. Added some doodling with a Signo White Gel Pen and voila a vibrant and lush background. I kept the card CAS embellishment wise as I didn't want to distract from the image and background. I will add a sentiment once I know what I will use it for. That's what I love about Amanda's Faery Ink Images, they are so versatile and can be used for various mediums and occasions.

Here's a close up of my image that I colored with Spectrum Noir Markers and Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut out. I added some SN Clear Sparkle Pen to her wings- don't think the camera picks up all the 

shimmer :o(

I adhered her onto my base card with some 3D foam tape to add some dimension

I sure hope I've inspired you to get crafty today!

Joggles ~ Bloom Journal Page

Good Morning, Crafty Friends! 

I'm super excited to share my first make as a DT member for

 

Today I have a journal page using a few of Joggles fabulous new foam stamps. They are delightful to play with and give a great crisp impression every time! Not to mention they are so easy to clean up afterwards. The minute I saw the Wonky Layered CirclesSmall, Wonky Layered Ovals Small and Teardrops In The Round Joggles Foam Stamps, I knew that I wanted to turn them into flowers. 

Here's my tutorial on using these fun stamps and vibrant colors on a journal page.

Start by blending Dylusions Paints in Grape Crush and Lemon Zest onto the Large Dylusions Creative Journal page using the Mini Ink Blending Tool. Quick Tip: I find by drying in between layers/colors- either by air-drying or using a heat tool- you get a smoother transition into blending the colors.

Use your fingers to finishing blending the Dylusions paints once you have the color base down that your happy with.

Using the Mini Ink Blending tool, apply the Cherry Pie Dylusions Paint onto the Teardrops In The Round Joggles Foam Stamp and stamp onto a spare sheet from the Journal Page. Fussy cut around it leaving a slight border and set this aside. The great thing with Dylusions Paints, is they dry quickly.

I love using stencils for added texture in the background of my journal pages. Using the Mini Blending Tool, apply the Honey Gold Tim Holtz Mini Distress Ink through the Dina Wakely "Essentials" Stencil in random spots around the journal page. Be sure to let this dry before going to the next step or your ink may smear.

Again, using the Mini Blending Tool, apply the Crushed Grape and Squeezed Orange Dylusions Paints onto the Wonky Layered Circles Small Joggles Foam Stamp and stamp towards the bottom have of the journal page- I stamped it twice. Quick Tip: I use different Ranger Inkssentials Mini Ink Blending Replacement Foams for each paint color along with several of the Mini Ink Blending Tools so you are not constantly switching the foam pads and there is no cross contamination in your paint containers.

Now, apply Postbox Red Dylusions Paint onto the Wonky Layered Ovals Small Joggles Foam Stamp and stamp it twice onto the journal page- just a little lower than where the Wonky Layered Circles was stamped in the previous step.

Grab the cutout of the Teardrops In The Round Joggles Foam Stamp that we cutout in step 3 and glue it onto the center of your journal page using Golden Matte Medium. I placed mine higher than the previous stamps used, as it is larger and I wanted that to be my focal point.

Using the Deep Purple Archival Ink with the Wonky Striped Border Joggles Foam Stamp, stamp a border all along the edges of your journal page. Again, let this dry to prevent smearing.

Now to turn our stamped shapes into flowers! Using a pencil, sketch in some stems for the “flowers” then color the stems in using the Chrome Green PITT Brush Pen.

I decided my background needed a little more texture. So using the Bubbles Joggles Foam Stamp and Magenta Hue Archival Ink, stamp only a portion of the Bubbles image onto random spots of your page, by curling the foam stamp when pressing down for the impression. These foam stamps are very flexible and are great for stamping only a portion of the image.

Using the Leaf Green Archival Ink and Dotted Leaf Small Joggles Foam Stamp, stamp leaves onto the stem of the Teardrops In The Round “flower”.

Use the Uni Ball Signo White Pen to highlight/doodle on your “flowers”.

To lend a more whimsical feel to my page, I did a Bokeh Effect Technique using a homemade stencil- which is a piece of acetate with different sized die cut circles- but any stencil with different sized shapes on it will work. Using a make-up foam pad and the Frost White ColorBox Cat Eyes Ink, ink your circles thru the stencil onto your page and layer throughout without re-inking your foam pad. This gives the effect of the bubbles being close-up or further in the distance.

Once the bubbles are dry, highlight them with Gelatos, by blending only a side of the bubble. I used Coconut, Snow Cone, Gold and Watermelon Gelatos.

Use the watercolor pencils in Purple and Grey to highlight the bubbles that overlap each other, by blending the lines with your finger. This gives the overlapping bubbles dimension.

Color portions of the Wonky Striped Border with the Faber Castell Stamper's Big White Pen, to add some more color contrast and dimension to your border.

Print the computer generated word “Bloom” onto some white printer paper and trim around the word with a Mini Paper Trimmer. Then mat it onto black cardstock with the Zig 2 Way glue. Quick Tip: By matting your phrases/sentiments onto some black cardstock, it allows the word to stand out against our vibrant and busy background.

The final step to the journal page is adding some Golden Matte Medium in the center of the Teardrops In The Round “flower” and sprinkling with the Recollections Glass Beads. This just gives some fun and pretty dimension to your focal “flower”.

And we are done. :o)

Journal Page~ We are all fragile!

Hi everyone! Only a few  more days until the weekend! woohoo! Hope y'all have some fun and crafty plans for it!

I'm here to share a Journal Page I did so I could play along with the CreativeKady Inpirational Prompt Stick Challenge "Try It Tuesday #4". 

Here are the prompts:

and here is my Journal Page:

I started by priming my journal page with Gesso. I inked a background with different shades of Distress Inks in Shaded Lilac, Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserves so I could keep with the one color prompt. I then Stenciled over it with Shaded Lilac using Heidi Swapp Squared Lattice Stencil. For the orange prompt, I used Dylusions Circles Stencil ( DYS40668) and misted it with water in the top right and bottom left corners. I stamped some "Script" with an unknown stamp (got it at a swap sorry!) in Archival "Deept Purple" Ink. Punched out some circles from Dictionary Paper  and outlined with a purple Staedtler Karat Watercolor Crayon and went over it with a wet brush. Finshed with some drips using "Crushed Grape" Dylusions Spray. I also added some splatter using "After Midnight" for added depth. Used Golden Matte Medium to adhere the Quote I found on Pinterest that I printed onto Tissue Paper. I outlined the quote using Derwent Charcoal Pencil.

Finished by adding the Butterfly, with a little Clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen , that I found online at PNGIMG.com and cut out using my silhouette. I added some pop dots to the wings for added dimension. 

I had a lot of fun with this Challenge and getting Inky in the process! lol

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you leave a comment, as I love hearing form you! :o)
