Mixed Media Art Journal Page for RebeccaBaer.com

 

 

Hi friends, and happy Tuesday! Today I would like to share with you a fun and colourful art journal page I created using stencils from RebeccaBaer.com

 

I started off with some paint daubers and layered on some bright colours in the background. Once that was completed I used the "All you need is love" stamp from Rebecca's Store.  After that I took the Harlequin Damask stencil and some embossing paste and added it on top.

 

Next I got out the artist tool stencil and this is a layered stencil, so you get two pieces with it. I love that you can do the bottom layer and then ad the fine lines over top of the piece.

I chose black for the palette, and then used some texture paint to mimic paint splatters. I then got some white texture paste and used the top part of the stencil to create the lines on the brushes and palette.



I chose some fun chipboard and flowers to embellish. I used some metal pieces for unusual flower centers.  After they were all attached I got out my white sharpie pen and went around some of the lines from the stencils to highlight them.

I love to art journal, it is always a fun surprise when ever you start off with a blank page, you never know where you will end up!

Thanks for stopping by today, and don't forget to check out all the great items in Rebecca's Store.

Good morning friends! Today I would like to share with you a layout I created with Gina's Designs circus set. I really love the feeling and colours of a circus, and I was very inspired by this Ferris Wheel piece in the set.

 

 

I started off by creating some texture in the background of the layout and used my sprays and paints to achieve this. I then layered on some more paper from the Dream in Colour collection from Webster's Pages. This set has lots in it, including the balloon I used on the corner of the merry go round picture on the top right of the layout.

 

 

 I used some Ranger paint daubers on the Ferris wheel in copper and silver to give an aged effect and used a brighter blue for the seats. I used more paper from the paper line to add the sentiment "Dream in colour" which frames the number 5 from the number plates set from Gina's Designs.

 

 

Lastly I added one of the word elements which says dream, and some flowers and metals to finish off my project. I really love this circus set, it is so much fun to play with!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Fun with Shimmerz!

Hello friends!  I have a fun tutorial to share with you today featuring Shimmerz Products. I have used the Inklingz watercolors, and some of the Vibez and Coloringz  Sprays. I have had this design in mind for quite a while, and with all the seasonal changes going on right now, I felt it was a good time to get it started.

 

I started off with four 5 x 7 canvas boards. First, I wanted to start off with some of the gorgeous Inklingz and my Pentel Waterbrush Pen, honestly I don't know how I ever lived with out this great little tool! I got out one of my favorite Inklingz, called Blue My Mind, and gave the canvas an all over coating of this beautiful color.

 I then got out some of the Vibez, Jenny Be Blue, and sprayed some on my craft mat. Again I used my water pen with the sprays and created an illusion of clouds with the spray and pen. I added some more of the Inklingz to the canvas until I was happy with my wintery background.

 Once I had done that, I used my white Sharpie pen to create dots for snowflakes which you can see on the left hand photo. The right photo is the Summer canvas and some of the lovely Inklingz I used to create a more summery sky.

 With the Summer Canvas I used the same techniques with the Inklingz and some of the Vibez spray and water pen to fill out the trees and make them look like they have leaves.  The trees are a from a stamp I had in my stash.

 

And here is the final four! I entitled this series "Seasons"

Fall Door Banner a Gina's Designs Project

Hi Friends! Well, its hard to believe that summer is over and we are now going into my favorite season of the year, Fall. Gina's Designs has created this very cool Fall Banner to decorate your autumn spaces. It can be configured into many different ways to suit your space, I chose to display my banner vertically to fit my front door. The banner comes with 2 rakes, but I have only used one for this project, and saved the other one to use on something else.

I love the layered effect you can create with this banner, as the letters are already cut out for you, and you can show off some great Autumn papers when you decorate your piece. Here I have used some really pretty paper with lots of lovely fall colors. For the rake I used some black acrylic paint then went over it with some silver Gilders Paste.

 

I chose to have some fun with the leaves and background of the banner. In the left photo below, you can see I painted the leaf a brown tone, then used some of my water soluble pastels to draw veins in the leaves and finished them off with some of the Shimmerz Dimensionz Paint to give them texture, I just love the effect!

I then got out some fun Fall themed stamps and some coordinating embossing powders adding texture to the  banner piece, and just the right touch to finish off the project.

Thanks so much for looking and don't forget to check out all the cool Autumn themed items in Gina's Store!

Alarm Clock Shadowbox A Gina's Designs DT Project

Hi Crafty Friends! Today I would like to share my altered alarm clock shadowbox, one of the newer items in our store.   You get 6 layers to the clock which you can stack up to create depth, it's a super fun design!

I used some Distress Crackle paint on the clock and after it was dry I used some of the new Shimmerz Inklingz watercolors. I used the Inklings to dry brush over the cracks and it picked them up perfectly and really accented them.

Once I was done with that, I used some laces around the outside layers and the inside edges. I then used more Inklingz and Blingz on the chipboard wing and also on the wooden "dream" charm.

I added some embellishments, flowers and a cute little nest to finish off the clock.

 I really loved making this project.  It was quick and lots of fun to do. Check them out in Gina's Store!
