Believe in Art Journaling

Hello All!

Today it is my turn to share & hopefully inspire you over on the Visible Image! So I thought I would play a bit in my Art Journal, which really is an old book that I picked up at a resale shop. The book is so old the pages are discolored and they easily tear. But its the perfect size and as a bonus the text makes a great background. 

Anyhow...Back to my page after a quick layer of gesso, a few dabs of paint and a bit of stamping this page came together in a flash and it was the perfect mojo pick me up!







Visible Image Stamps Used: 





Other Products Used: Prima Heavy White Gesso, Prima Watercolor Pencils. Finnabair Art Alchemy Impasto Paint. Versa Ink Pad & Versa Fine Black Ink Pad. Lindys Stamp Gang Purley White Embossing Powder. Ranger Ink Pads-Electric Lime & Caribbean Coast.

Now lets take a closer look at my page....




Here's a closer look at the verse from the Believe in Unicorns set.
I stamped this with a Versa Mark Ink pad and
 embossed it with a bit of Lindys Powder. 
Then I added lots of doodles with a white Uniball Pen,


Here's a better look a a bit of the stamping that 
I added to the background with the fun Ink Splats Set!

To me this color combo is all about spring or maybe it's just that here in Michigan I am desperate for Spring Weather.

Blue Fern Studios -Spring Inspiration from Lanette with a Video too!

Hello All!

Here in Michigan we are desperately waiting for Spring to arrive. It's been a winter and I am ready for a spring green yard. So I thought  the Spring Parade Collection was perfect for me to create with this month. 


You can see how I created this layout start to finish over on the Blue Fern YouTube Channel: 


Here are just a few details of my layout...


I love the way the Chipboard looks with Ivory & Pearl Embossing Powder.


A super sweet fussy cut bunny...


Lots of Seedling & Glitter to really make these lovely blooms shine.



For my second layout, I continued the Spring fun but this time I played with the Attic Charm Collection...




Just a few details before you hop along...



 A peek at this lovely lace and this sweet little chipboard bunny.


A the bit of frame that I cut away from the bunny worked perfectly with the title.


Here is a good look at all the little extras that make this layout sparkle.
Don't you just love Seedlings & Glitter!
