Tag base created with grunge stamp by Indigoblu and distressed using Forest Moss ink

Topper created using stripped back corrugated card spritzed with Dylusion Chopped Pesto ink spray.

Main stamp by Paperartsy, tag stamp by Carabelle Studio and Dream stamp by Darkroom Door.


Painted journal page with blue and green Ecoline Brush Pens.  Sprayed with water.  Added stencils down both sides but the left one moved and made a mess so I have covered it up.  Added stencil across the bottom and stencil hearts.
Added green glitter washi tape.
Wrote sentiment from the bible onto green card and sponged edges with green distress inks and layered on top.  Painted clouds, added flowers and punched hearts.  Added bear sticker.

A pair of tags, with backgrounds painted with Vivadecor olive paint, stenciled with embossing paste which was embossed with Frantage EP. The figures were cut with home-made stencils from recycled cardstock. Paper napkins and paper scraps were used to collage the BG, and some gold leaf was added. I finished them off with a home made paper bead and some glass beads.

I altered a wooden tissue box that I had purchased for $2 at a consignment shop. I first started off with painting the entire box with white gesso. The top of the box is a golden green and was created using a few shades of green gelatos and some gold gelatos. The paper that I used was from my stash, it had dark hunter green all through it, especially the swirls and florals so thought it would be perfect. I cut out pieces of the paper and adhered to the box completely on all sides and a few pieces to the top on each side. To the sides of the box, I added some Tim Holtz white picket fence distress paint and rub and buff gold leaf. I added some paper borders from the same paper collection to the top and added some netting for texture. Added flowers, pearl strands and metal pieces and to finish off, added a few little dots of green pearl pens and some lace.

A journal page using Dylusion Paints-Fresh Lime, Dirty Martini and Cut Grass. Silhouette stencil and lots of other Dylusion stencils using the same paint colours in the background. Large circles in Black Dylusions and Bottle green archival ink for stamped leaves. Lots of painted layers. Doodling with White signo gel pen to finish.



Welcome new design team member Asia - Lemon Creation
 A minimalistic Art Journal page
I started with gesso and  just few pieces of masking tape, torn more-less randomly. To create more background I added torn pieces of  Digi Papers from Lozzy. I spritzed water all over my textured part and then I added some color-  I used Lindy's Stamp Gang products: Magicals- Panderosa Pines Olive & Cattail Copper Brown and sprays Starburst- Frosty Forest Green, Freeky FrankenLime & Frolic in the Forest Black (for black splatters).  I added some light stamping and embellishments:  washi tape, Alphabet stickers from Tim Holtz, black thread, metal buttons, lace (colored with Magicals), strands of black fiber and some jute fabric torn to pieces. The paper outlines were made with  Gelly Roll black pen.


Welcome new design team member Pavitra
I started with black gesso on the canvas and for texture stencil with prima sand paste mixed with art anthropology paint. For creating the background splattered various paint of art alchemy. Cover the chipboard cutouts with paint and embossing powder , colored the gauge with distress ink . Did the placement as shown and finish of with handmade flower , glitter and micro beads.


I covered the front of a plain beige coloured scrapbook (the finish was a bit like canvas so I took a chance to see if gesso/paint would 'take'). I added white gesso, slightly watered down and then brushed with a mix of three different acrylic paints, using a fourth one to stencil through the woodland flower stencil, adding white opal liquid pearls and dabbing around the bottom with the stencil brush. The 'remember' and the corner stamps are from a Teresa Collins set inked with memento cottage ivy (more prominent irl than in the photo).
