Extravagant Art Journal

Almost caught up with the prompts again. This time the theme was extravagance and I added some expensive ribbon and some very bling buttons from the ribbon girl.

I stamped the background with a shorthand text stamp from Paper Artsy and then that hair dying comb came in useful as I made white dots all over page.

I used Claudine Hellmuth's Dwelling stamp in purple acrylic and then stamped the second part of the stamp with embossing powder and silver pearl embossing powder. The journalling was written on black paper.

Hybrid Scrapping layout inspired by art journal - Home is where the table is

This layout came to me after I had completed an art journal page where the prompt was home. This was a hybrid layout for the scrap factor auditions. I like this layout but had put it into the hybrid category and only just realised that using fonts was not hybrid enough and I should have had another element on it. I used Heart stamps from Dylusions Love Struck Lucy and the Dwelling stamps by Claudine Hellmuth.

I sketched our table and paper pieced it using a piece of TH seasons paper and white card for the legs are coloured with pro markers. Papers: 3 bugs in a rug – double sided rhapsody and violet; SEI – sprouting spots; Coredinations Black magic lilac. Fonts – Pebbles white and American Crafts remarks raspberry. Home font  Sweet Sprinkes Shabby Princess

Aida cotton and voile from stash, embroidery thread and needles were used for the heart and stitching.

I used dylusions paints to stamp with and blend the colours on the dwelling stamps

Scrapping sneak peeks

This is part of a LO I created for the Scrap Factor contest that uses lots of stamping, sewing and paint. I really enjoyed this one as it felt like it used some of the best elements of scrapping and art journalling. As you can see I am enjoying playing with the Claudine Hellmuth Dwelling stamps at the moment.
