Card #44 – Magical stars

This was never supposed to turn into a card. When I ended up with star shaped stencils while die cutting for the previous card and with all my Distress inks out, I decided to stencil some with inks I rarely use. It went on and I created a piece with many multi-coloured starts overlapping one another. It…

Art Journal #21 – Autumn Leaves

It has been almost a month since I got my hands on my craft tools. I have moved from Tennessee to New Jersey and my art and craft stuff were all stacked in boxes and left in the moving company’s trailer. It remained there for 3 weeks until now. My hands itched to make something and…

Art Journal #19 – Think Pink!

I am not much of a ‘pink’ person, so no page naturally turns out pink unless I make a conscious attempt. I painted the sketchbook pages a bright pink by mixing crimson red and white acrylic paints. Used the The Crafters Workshop® stencil TCW554 for the butterfly and an old sentiment stamp for the tiny flower. Coloured…

Art Journal #17 – Everyday things

Today’s post is a journal page I did way back in july when I had a lot of green leaves fall in the apartment’s parking lot. I love these wonderfully shaped leaves and wanted to preserve them in the form of a journal layout. Painted the page a light blue using acrylic colours. Did a lot…

Art journal #13 – Super Power

I’m back from a 4 day road trip. Had lots of fun and clicked a gazillion photographs..now in the process of sorting them out and sharing the good ones..mostly on Instagram. I felt grateful for the magic that was camera…it helps us freeze time and keep it not just for us, but for generations to come. I…

Art journal #8 Science

Today’s layout is pure stamping – no magazine cutouts. Tried adding some texture using stencils and gesso. Had lots of fun creating it..and for a change it was quick and not messy. Only red and black in the entire page kind of dulled the look which is why I ended up adding the circles with…
