Remember This Dream..Journal Page

Hello everyone!
Today I am here to share a journal page I recently created!
I used the Love of Butterflies- Sin City stamp set.

Journal pages are a fun and great way to relax.
They are also a way to "unload" when you have many ideas floating around in your mind!!
 Sin City Stamps carry hundreds of different stamps so there are endless possibilities for adding many items to your pages!!

Here are a few "tips" for you that I use and believe to be very helpful when Art Journaling!

1. Create a background with colors and textures as a starting point.
2. Add some basic stamping for dimension.
3. Find your focal point or points using larger and/or more detailed stamps as I have done with the butterflies on this one.
4. Use embossing powder to enhance around larger stamps!

Here are a few closer views of this page!
 I hope you are inspired to do some journaling on your own and to check out all the amazing stamps Sin City Stamps have to offer!!

HOW I MADE MY ATC'S

The SinCity Design Team just had an AWESOME blog hop over the weekend!  Our theme was ATC's.  Each of us had to make 3 ATC's and show off our NEW ATC STAMPS from SinCity Stamps!

Today, I'm going to show you how I made mine, using several products from The SinCity Stamp Store.  You will find so much more than stamps there!  AND there is a PERMANENT PRICE REDUCTION right now!!  Sheets of stamps for only $16??? Madness I say!!  

Here are my ATC's

SUPPLIES:

• SinCity Stamps "Butterfly Mask"
• 7 Gypsies Rub-ons available at the SinCity Stamps store
• SinCity Stamps "Love of Butterflies" Stamp Sheet
• SinCity Stamps ATC Stamps
• ATC blanks
• Misc. Paper Scrap
• Grey, Black and Dark Red Ink

I started by stamping the backs of my ATC's with the NEW ATC stamps.  Aren't they awesome!  The design is so clear!  LOVE them!!

I added my paper to the front of the card and used the Butterfly mask as a stencil.  I used grey ink on the inside of the mask. I moved it to different areas on each card.  I love the layered look!

For my next layer, I used some of the new rub ons that we have in the store.  Just a few here and there gives the card some depth.

Then I turned them over and filled in my ATC stamp.  That's it!  Super fun and easy ATC's with many layers of AWESOME!!

Thanks for visiting!  I hope you take advantage of the new prices at the SinCity Stamps store and make some ATC's of your own!

LOVE OF BUTTERFLIES

I love this stamp set!!  "Love of Butterflies" is a beautiful and versatile stamp set from SinCity Stamps.  This month we were given some awesome Pan Pastels to use in our projects.  I have been having so much fun with them!!  

SUPPLIES:

• Love of Butterflies Stamp Set ~ SinCity Stamps
• Brown Glitter Cardstock ~ The Robin's Nest
• Pan Pastels ~ Burnt Sienna, Hansa Yellow and Permanently Green
• Versamark Ink
• Misc. Ribbon and Pearls

I gathered my supplies and used all 3 colors of pastels on my background, going from burnt sienna to yellow to green.  Then I stamped my butterfly in the center with Versamark ink.

Using a small sponge, I applied green pastel to the butterfly only.  I love how the color came out so much darker.

I stamped little butterflies all around the large butterfly with Versamark ink.  I applied a really light layer of yellow pastel to them.  When you stamp with Versamark on a background that already has pastel on it, the image shows up without having to apply anything.  Since it is clear it shows the pastels through it.

Here's my finished card again.  The stamps and pastels did all the work.  I just added some tiny pearls and a bow.

Have an awesome day!!
