Creative Warriors Inspiration # 34

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is using the New Release December/January Challenge Image Reflective Prelude by Michelle Grant.


I used  the black and white image on plain copy paper and adhered to my journal pages.
I added some stencilling using one of Michelle's new stencils from Bee Arty and also one of her new dies from the same collection.
My girls are coloured with mica powders from Bee Arty and Lindy's Magicals, which I also used to colour my die cuts.
I used some white gesso to soften my edges around the girls and try to blend them in a bit better.
I used a black paint pen and a stencil from Natalie May for my words and then lastly I doodled a border around the edges.

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!

Creepy Circus

This month I have made some fun tags and another page in my Altered Book using December Dreams, Jeepers Creepers, Vintage Vamps, Into the Woods and Lifes a Circus Collage sheet by Gecko Galz to hopefully inspire you!




I have been enjoying using stencils in my journals of late so this time used a scribble one by Natalie May here in Australia with gold paint. Hard to see but that journal page is quite shiny in real life.

I added one of my cast off resin pieces on my tag too as well. I love the grungy beaten look that using up that last bit of resin gives.

I had a bit of fun with the theme this month. Can't wait to see how you all interpret it yourselves.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 27

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is using the New Challenge Image Pack Be The Rainbow  by Michelle Grant.


During the month I added some paints and inks through stencils and mopping up onto the next page in my journal. I figured this way I have a base to start my page with.
Having said that, all I really had to do them was to fussy cut my girl and adhere her down and then give her a bit of colour, which I did using my Distress Inks.
I then added my saying from the pack with a bit of doodling with a black pen.

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 26

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is my cover and first page for the Rainbow Challenge!
Haven't seen it yet, jump over onto Michelle's Creative Warriors Facebook group and check it out. 
It' all about the Rainbow and using those colours in a monochromatic way!
 



I created my own Art Journal for this challenge with plenty of pages for other challenges throughout the year.
My cover I used some painter drop sheet and added gesso onto it and then my "rainbow".
I had this great Creative Warrior affirmation from a Virtual Retreat of Michelle's a few years back and thought it perfect to pop on the cover.
Inside I used a great Mintay paper I received at the Papercraft Party Event a few months back. 
My signatures/paper and cover chipboard are a Kit from Natalie May Scrapbooking.
 
Page 1 is Red - Passion, Love.
I have used Elisa Ablett's Book Lover for my image, background paper and saying. I printed them out on rice paper.
I used Tim Holtz Distress Paints: Festive Berries, Candied Apple and Barn Door. Dina Wakley's Ruby, and a couple of cheap shop paints: Scarlet Lake and Rose Madder.
Additionally I used a black and red Sharpie and white gesso for splatters.

Well, I hope I have inspired you to have a go at the Rainbow Challenge. I look forward to seeing your take on it.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 25

Time for my next project to inspire you.

I used the New Release July Image Challenge Truth, by Michelle Grant. 


I printed off the images and with the coloured one, I did a image transfer to get her mirrored on my page.
It worked pretty well, a little bit of her cheek but I'm okay with that.
Added some washi tape and then some stenciling with some white gesso to blend it all.
I used I added a quote from Karen Yates Little Word Bits #3.
Lastly I doodled a border around the edges.

There is still time to join the challenge.
