Another Beauty of the Far East

 August 20th 2024

I decided to do another entry for the Gecko Galz Blog Challenge to complete the "back" side of the bamboo cut out page from my previous post. Main image is from Gecko Galz, stencils from paperartsy (Tracy Scott) plus Tracy Scott stamps which I purchased from my local scrapbook store - Natalie May Scrapbooking!

Beauty of the Far East...

August 14th 2024

It's been awhile since I've posted on my blog however I wanted to join this months challenge at Gecko Galz so I'm sharing my mixed media journal spread using one of the images from the "Asian Doll" collage set available at the Etsy Store.

I've used a Paperartsy stencil designed by Tracy Scott to do the cut out and stenciling. One of Natalie May's floral stencils worked perfectly with this image. I love how this turned out!

Blank Page Muse: Time Flies

February 18th 2024

Today I am sharing a mixed media journal page using stamps available in store plus collage image and stencil from my stash.

Stamps used:

"Cogs" from Steampunk Circus Set

Dragonfly by Pam Bray Designs

Time Flies Word Stamp

I had a page in my journal that I had painted with excess paint so I decided to finish it off with a Steampunk theme.

"Cogs" from Steampunk Circus Set

Dragonfly by Pam Bray Designs

Time Flies Word Stamp

I added texture paste through a stencil and once dried I painted over the texture with Lindy's Magicals.

I stamped the little cogs/gears stamp over the background. I added embellishments, bits of washi and book page along with a fab Steampunk Cutable image from my local scrapbook store click here!

Blank Page Muse Stamps: Forever February!

February 6th 2024

Today I am sharing an altered index card along with new digital download images available in store!

Products used:

February 2024 Digital Download Page designed by Pam Bray

Blocks Pattern Stencil designed by Deadseatoons

"Forever" word stamp from the Romance Classic Couples Set

I've used a 6 x 4 index card which already had a "painty" background from excess paint from another project! I used the block pattern stencil and added some texture paste.

I printed the digital page onto light cardstock and fussy cut the images I wanted to use.

I stamped the word "forever" onto fabric and sewed onto a piece of scrap patterned card by Pam Bray.

I arranged all the collage images and stamped wording onto the index card along with a vintage focal image (Tim Holtz paper doll).

To finish off I zigzagged a border with my sewing machine.

Hope you feel inspired to try something a bit different with the calendar download!

Blank Page Muse: Paper Doll Dream!

January 6th 2024

 Happy New Year! Can you believe it's now 2024? Time flies!

Hope one of your new year's resolutions is to make more creative time for yourself!

Today I'm sharing a journal page using some of the fabulous "clear" stamps available in store - have you seen them? Lots to choose from and a great range of little "planner" stamps for those of you who love to decorate your diaries!

I've used these items for my "arty doll" page today:

Whatever is Good Dreamer Art Doll 1 Set by Pam Bray

Sweet Passion 6 x 6 Paper Pack by Pam Bray

Dots & Spots Stencil by Donna Gray

Hearts Stencil by Magda Polakow

I used collage paper from my stash and paint for the background along with patterned stamps from the clear stamp set. 

I stamped the "corner" stamp and main doll image onto patterned paper from the Sweet Passion paper pack - just love the pink colours!

I used a "head" from a Tim Holtz paper doll and adhered to the paper doll.

I adhered all the stamped paper to the journal background and stamped the "dream" word onto the page.

Some splatters and a page border to finish off!

Blank Page Muse: Easy Colourful Birthday Cards

October 18th 2023

Today I have some cards inspired by an online art journal class I did last month through my local store - fab class by Naomi Alchin!

I've used Lindy's magicals to create the shiny coloured strips on the cards - I love the shine on these magicals.

Here are the supplies I used and links to them in store:

You Make Me Happy Hummingbird Clear Stamp Set

Butterfly Breezes Clear Stamp Set

Numbers & Flowers Half Sheet Set

Steampunk Circus Stamp Set

Honey Bee Honeycomb Stencil by Miss Rach

These cards are really easy! Cut some strips of watercolour paper and use whatever you have on hand to colour them - I used Lindy's Magicals - you could use watercolours, any ink sprays you have - delve into your stash!

Once dry stencil with black paint - lots of stencils in store you can use for this step! I used the "dots" from the Numbers & Flowers half set to add a few spots of black to the coloured strips.

Stamp your images on watercolour paper and colour with Lindy's Magicals or whatever you used for your strips then fussy cut.

Add some white outlines and paint splatters along with your stamped images and your cards are done!
