Be True to You - Journal page

 Hello Happy Scrappers 

I hope you all had a good start to your new year. 

Today I am sharing a Journal page I created using #adirondack #alcoholinks.

I have not used these in a while and they looked oh so lonely 😋

Products:

 

I die cut embellishments using my metal dies and #sizzix bigshot. These were
coloured using embossing powders.
I also used flower embellishments that I made using a mould and clay.
the flower moulds were coloured with alcohol inks.

I used stamps at the end of the process to stamp around the coloured background.

Process: 

I added background with black ink and stencil. I then sealed the pages with #pebeo

Bindex. I added texture with stencil and white texture paste.

I then decided on my layout to see where the photo and embellishments would be 

best placed and what journal words I would be using. The image and words were printed 

from the  internet. 

I then coloured the background with the Alcohol inks and solutions to spread the ink

I used a paintbrush to spread and mix the ink as well. I used the colours I did to match

the image.

Once the inks were dry, I adhered the photo and embellishments and added a few stamps

I added white Gesso lightly over the texture paste using my finger to highlight the texture.

and Wallaah!

Here are some close-ups

Thank you for popping by and I hope you are inspired to create your own project

Take care

Remember - Life is Beautiful

Hello Happy Scrappers

Hope you are all well and scrapping away with all the wonderful inspiration around us

Today I am sharing a layout with you that I created inspired by the More than words Challenge :

Challenge: Yesterday and Vintage

When I read this challenge, the word Yesterday reminded me of days gone by. When vintage was included I immediatley thought of my mom's parents. She had beautiful black and white photos of her Mom and Dad ( my Nonna and Nonnopa). And wow, what beautiful people they were.

Please click on the More than words challenge image below for the rules and inspiration.

I hope you all join in.

























Now to the lay out:

Products used:

Various stamps
Die cuts (cut on my #Sizzix)
Dew Drop inks: Brilliance - Galaxy gold, VersaMagic - midnight black, Jumbo Java
Embossing powder: #Colorbox  Papermania - Seafoam white
Lindy's magicals: Mission bells brown
Embellishments: paper cut outs, wooden frames, flowers
Clear Gesso
Embossing ink - Emboss clear

I painted the entire page with clear gesso. 

I then stamped the background with various stamps

I used a stamp in the top corner of falling reeds and stamped it over and over 

I then used Embossing ink and stamped little flowers on the black "bush" on the top left and 

at the bottom with "life is beautiful" then heat embossed with Seafoam white. 

I tore up some scrap paper and inked the edges with dewdrop inkpad, initially with brown
and then slight touches with black. Added a little bit of black splatter

I arranged my photos and embelishments and adhered them in place and finished off 

with some white splatters
