Creative Warriors Inspiration # 35

Merry Christmas! 

If you are like me and unfortunately have to work tomorrow, then you will be having Christmas Dinner with your family like me!

So as not to keep you, a short posting for my last project to inspire you in 2023. 

I created a Cover for my Junk Journal Planner for 2024 using a Woolies Christmas Paper Bag!

LOL, this way the spine and back as well as inside covers don't really need decorating as the baubles design is all over it!

I used a Mash Up of two old Releases, one of the girls from Accept by Gracie Grant along with a Books Pattern from Book Lover by Elisa Ablett.

I added some texture with coloured paste through a stencil designed by Michelle Grant for Bee Arty, the Range is called Full Circle.

Also added some stamping from stamp set and a die cut from die in the range. 

I also used one of my favourite dies and cut that as well as some glitter stars and gold thickener Numbers Stickers.

The sentiment is from Gracie's set and I added a piece of ruffled black lace to it.

Well, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a safe passage into 2024!

Don't forget to share with us any of your projects over on the Michelle's Creative Warriors Facebook group, we'd love to see them.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 15

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is a Mash Up of Michelle Grant's Crowned pack and Gracie Grant's Accept pack. 

Wouldn't you know it, a spelling mistake...nevermind, I can live with it, as no-one is perfect, right!

I started with the right page having some leftover paint brayered on it with that pink, so thought that would be a nice frame to start off with.

I grabbed on my new Bee Arty stencils and used my teal acrylic paint and popped it on both sides of both pages to give it a bit of grounding and connection.

I then used a few rolls of washi tape and put some of that around my pages too.

I then cut a couple of circles in half that I had left over and placed them around my page until I found a good balance for them.

I adhered both my girls and after applying a clear gesso on them, I used my Neo II crayons with a aqua brush and popped some colour on them.

After then putting my saying down, I used a normal black pen and doodled a border.

 

Pretty happy with, mistakes and all.

Well, I hope I have inspired you to look at your packs a little but differently.

Creative Warriors Inspiration #2

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is a Mash Up of using a girl from Gracie Grant's Accept Pack and my Owl from Annette Gearside's Wisdom Pack.

 

I started by using one of the mop up pages in my art journal to get me going as it already had red and black acrylic paints on it.

I added some music sheet strips for a bit of collage and some white gesso to blend it all together.

I then added some pink/peach acrylic paint to soften it a little.

At this stage, I coloured my owl with my pencils and fussy cut her out along with my girl.

Now they are cut, I place them on page to see where I would like them and where I needed to add some stenciling. I used my Dark Hearts stencil with black acrylic paint first, and then That Way stencil to add the dots as well. 

Again, placing my owl and girl down, I decided I needed something else, so grabbed my script stamp and stamped that in a few places. I used the Tyre marks from Making Tracks stamp set to mainly ground my girl and stamped in a few other spots as well.

Now I have it pretty much how I wanted it, so I adhered my Owl and girl on the page.

My wording, I hand wrote in Black on some card and then went over it with white and adhered.

Well, I hope I have inspired you to look at your packs a little but differently.
