Junk Journal July 2022, 16 - Passion, Ruby, Chipboard.

#cwjjj16

I mixed a Red and a Violet Purple to get my Ruby Red paint. 

I then painted my half doily in my Junk Journal, because that's the next page, and added a girl from Tammy's Bonkers Pack. 

My two chipboard hearts are from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and I painted them with the same mixture.

My saying is from Michelle Grant's Purpose Pack.

My passion is clearly my craft as that page was very fiddly, and you can see I broke part of the doily in the creation. 

So, I then did the next prompt and we are in the middle of my signature, so I got to play with the whole doily!

Junk Journal July 2022, 17 - Let it go Or Embrace, Turquoise, Tissue paper/Deli paper.

#cwjjj17

This time my napkin had the tourquoise strip that matched my Neo II crayon perfectly so I was able to colour my doily and blend in to my napkin reasonably well.

My image is from Michelle Grant's Crowned pack.

I decided to write my saying and mix the lettering.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Junk Journal July 2022, 15 - Courage, Emerald, Pattern Paper.

#cwjjj15

I used a piece of Background patterned paper by Tanya Froud, along with an image from Michelle Grant's Peace files.

I grabbed out my Neo II crayons and used the Emerald Green around the edges on onto my image.

My saying I wrote around the back edge.

"Have the COURAGE of your convictions" 

That has real meaning to me at the moment and a timely reminder.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Junk Journal July 2022, 14 - Focus, White, Doily.

#cwjjj14

My words are from Michelle Grant's "Covid" file.

Focus would be good if I knew what to focus on, which is why I chose this saying - I love it and so apt at the moment.

My doily is white, as are my die cuts from some Art by Marlene die I bought the other week.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Pretty in Green

Are you ready for a new month's Challenge over at Arty Divas Challenge Blog.

This month's theme as always is "Anything Goes", doesn't get any easier than that does it!

This month we are playing with Pretty in Green and Vintage Green Paper by our resident sponsor Lilli Rain Designs.                   

I made a card and a tag bookmark this month.

Both projects are easy to make, just grab your lace stash out and have a go.

The tag ends for my tag bookmark are using Uniquely Creatives Tags, Tops 'N' Tails die, and I used a decorative flower die on the bottom to hide the hole. A piece of ribbon in the top hole and a beautiful bookmark to give as a gift, or use yourself.

I have to say that I love that coppery lace, it is one continuous design which I snipped two pieces off for either end and adhered down. 

Now you have seen what I have done, it's your turn! I look forward to seeing your entry in our Challenges.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Junk Journal July 2022, 13 - Betrayal or Trust, Mahogany, Gel Print or Paint your own paper.

#cwjjj13

The next page in my Junk Journal was already half painted with red and blue strips, so I added some stamping with Aged Mahogany Distress ink and brushed it around a bit on my page.

My image and words are from Michelle Grant's Expressions file. I have also run the edges of the image and words around the ink pad to add a bit of Mahogany on them too.

Lol, it so reminded my of the Yellow Pages ad years ago, so that is my take on the betrayal/trust side of the prompt.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Junk Journal July 2022, 12 - Breathe - Inhale/Exhale, Blue Monochromatic, Tags.

#cwjjj12

I have used Stormy Sky, Weathered Wood and Peacock Feathers Distress inks for my Blue Monochromatic background on both my junk journal page and my book paper tags.

My image and words are from Michelle Grant's Breathe file.

Lol, I had both Inhale and Exhale, but somewhere in my clutter, I lost exhale! So I used Breathe as a replacement....and yes, I did inhale, exhale and breathe! 

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Junk Journal July 2022, 11 - Joy, Sunshine Yellow, Acetate.

#cwjjj11

I have used a cheap Aldi acrylic paint for my background.

I then coloured some of the feathers from Tammy Klingner's Creative Warriors Collab#1 Find your Wild pack with my Faber Castell pencils. After I fussy cut them out, I adhered them and used one of Tim Holtz acetate Butterflies to have them appear like a bouquet on my page.

My Joy word is Letter stickers from a Art by Marlene quote book.

I do get a lot of Joy creating in my Junk Journal, nothing you do is wrong and it is a great way to learn by playing with all those bits and pieces from previous classes/retreats that you have still have lying around your craft space.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
