Dream BIG Art Journal Page

Hi everyone! It's me, Tonya and I am here to share my art journal page I created using the Clara and Dream Big StampsHeart Stencil and the feather stamp from the Flower and Bird Sketches Stamp Set.


I started by watering down blue ink, adding a wash of color to the page and letting dry.  I placed the Heart Stencil on top of the page and taped it down with washi tape to hold it in place. Next I inked up several Art Daubers in different shades of blue and inking over the stencil.


I placed the Clara stamp onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked and stamped onto a Watercolor Paper Rectangle Diecut.


I used an assortment of inks that I watered down to watercolor the stamped image and once dry I went back over it with Colored Pencils.


I stamped two feathers from the Flower and Bird Sketches Stamp Set, watercolored and once dry fussy cut both out. I cut a slit on both sides of the image, added a little adhesive and placed the stamped feathers into the slits. 



I adhered the Clara image to the journal page and I placed the "dream BIG" stamp onto the MISTI Stamping Tool and stamped onto the upper journal of the page.  


I finished off the page by adding washi tape under the sentiment and on the Clara diecut. Be sure to stop by Balnk Page Muse to pick up these stamps and stencils which can be found HERE. As always if you have questions about this project please let me know.

Chris here sharing Cheery greetings today.  I am so excited to share this card I created with the brand new Clara and Words Stamp Set from Blank Page Muse.  It is no secret as a bird owner, I love birdie stamps and this little lady won my heart. I even added some sparkle and shine accents! 



Supplies need to recreate this card
water color paper
alcohol markers
ink
Glitter Card Stock
Card stock

Start by stamping Clara onto watercolor paper.  Color the image as desired. As always I chose a green color for my birdie as my quarter parrot is green.

Guest Designer Samantha~Octopus Got Attitude!

Hello, hello! Samantha Ziegenfuss here with a fun card to share with you all today.

Much like this octopus I often wish I had 8 arms to smack people with and that is what inspired my card.

Let's jump right in!

To begin you will stamp and heat embossed the flying octopus stamp onto watercolor paper cut to 4" x 4".



Paint the octopus first and then do wet on wet watercolor painting in the background; adding more color and layers until you're happy.





Add a generous amount of shimmer to the entire thing.


Cut your octopus panel with a basic wavy stitched border die and apply a 1.5" x 4" strip of glitter paper to a white 4" x 4" note card. Adhere your panel so that it overlaps the glitter paper.







Stamp and clear heat embossed your sentiment to pink cardstock; trimming it down into a strip and gluing it to the left side of the card below the octopus.








Finish by adding a few gems.







Thanks so much for checking out my card. I have had a lot of fun guest designing and I hope to see you again.

Until next time,
Samantha
