Creative Warriors Inspiration # 7

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is using the New Release Packs Country Garden #2 Add Ons and Secret Garden Wallpaper, both by Elisa Ablett.

 

I used the Mason Jar, Jar Label and saying from the Add Ons pack and one background for my jar and another as collage in my background. I also added some old music sheet paper as well.

I then decided to use my Art by Marlene acrylic paints in colours that matched the wallpapers.

Some script writing stamping to finish the page off before using black acrylic paint through my Lorri Lennox stencil. Lastly, highlighted with my Life of Colour White Paint pen. 

Loving my art journal now!

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

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!

Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 16

Day 16 of 31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

So we have 3 colours:  Orange, Silver and Blue

An Affirmation Quote: Never give up because Great things take time.

An element:  Diamonds

I am pretty pleased that I got 2 pages done today and am back up to date with another busy week ahead. 

Yay me! I grabbed out my Gansai Tamsi Watercolor paints and played.

This one was pretty quick as I prepped my page with white gesso, then added my orange water paint and let it drip a bit. Then my blue water paint and again let it drip a bit. I then used a paper towel and moped some excess paint off which helped blend with the white gesso and give cloudy effect.

LOL, a happy accident you could say.

So I then changed track and used my face stencil from Lorri Lennox which gives a great head in the clouds type of feel to her.

I then used my posca white paint pen and traced some diamonds from a stencil in my stash.

My saying is from one of Art by Marlene's Sticky Quotes books.

It didn't need anything else.

I love it!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Junk Journal July 2022

Junk Journal July 2022, 07 - Shame/Guilt or Proud, Paynes Grey, Graph paper/grids.

#cwjjj07

 

I decided to have a play with my water paints for a change.

So to make my Paynes Grey, I mixed my Ultramarine Blue by Elena Art Pages, with a Black from the Complexion set by Prima. I then used this as my background.

I then coloured up my Frida image and roses with my Faber Castell pencils and then fussy cut them.

They are from  Lorri Lennox's Creative Warriors Collab#1 Frida Power, along with the saying.

After adhering them all down, I realised I had not used any graph paper!

So I got that out and used one of my Art by Marlene mini dies from the 2021 Advent Calendar and cut it into a few pieces that would fit and not look like an add on!

It is turning into a fun little junk journal.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Junk Journal July 2022

Here are the next two pages for Junk Journal July 2022.

 

#CWJJJ03

 #CWJJJ04

First one I have used Art by Marlene Acrylic Paint with a Paper Roses Stencil. My girl and saying is from Lorri Lennox's Tweetheart file and coloured with Faber-Castell pencils. A piece of lace from my stash.

My second one I used some strips of my glossy paper I played with alcohol inks on as my "Magical" aspect, along with the fact that my junk journal page is only 4 3/4 x 2 1/4 inches. My bird and saying is from Lorri Lennox's Tweetheart file as well, and coloured with Faber-Castell pencils. My purple flowers is my napkin that I used.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Junk Journal July 2022

I managed to keep up and do 35 of the 61 ICAD this year and felt like I needed a break - I will finish them off but at my pace now and not to a schedule.

For a little change I have switched to the Junk Journal July challenge on the Creative Warriors page.

Now I started late, and won't be keeping up with this one either (we will see), but I do like the idea of using my mini junk journal I made early on in the year at the Creative Warriors Virtual Retreat.

Anyways, here's the Canvas Cover I created and the first two pages.

Front Cover

Inside with Mini Junk Journal

#CWJJJ01

 #CWJJJ02

My journal size is 5 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches, so a cute handy size.

My Canvas Cover uses Fi Gains' Creative Warriors Collab #1 Background Thank the Trees and saying from Kylie Trout's Creative Warriors Collab#1 The Story Begins 3. Stamps by Bee Arty and Stampin Up with Archival Ink, and some shimmer sprays as well.

First one I have used Art by Marlene Acrylic Paints, Wendy Vecchi Stencil, and my girls face is from Creative Warriors Collab #1 Michelle's Release your Creativity file printed on tissue paper.

My second one I made a mini envelope from some patterend paper in my stash and my bird is from Lorri Lennox's Birdbrain file, coloured with Faber-Castell pencils. Background is using Gelatos,

ICAD 2022 - # 20 Ouija Board

Next card # 20 - Ouija Board.  

Week 3 Theme is:  Typography, found text, lyrics, poetry & lists.

Going rogue again tonight as not much time.....so grabbed another of my mop up cards and then printed off the Odds & Bits Collage Sheet by Lorri Lennox. 

I fussy cut some of the images I wanted on my card. Still plenty for another day!

After working out where I would put them, I then adhered them down and picked out a saying.

My sticker saying is again from Art by Marlene.

I would love to see what you create, if you are playing along, just tag me @8806angela  if you are on Instagram.

See you tomorrow!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Art not War

Michelle Grant Designs has some new mini kits designed by Lorri Lennox and I thought this girl and saying would be good for another Ukraine page.

This time in my Art By Marlene Mini Art Journal that came in the 2021 Advent Calendar Pack.

The girl and image are from TweetHeart and I can see me playing with these a lot more.

I used Art by Marlene acrylic paints for my background and coloured the girl with my distress inks.

I pray the war ends soon and that Ukraine can rebuild!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
