A very warm good morning to you all. Hope everyone is doing fine.

Welcome back to Scrapping4fun Challenge and this fortnight our theme for the challenge is

And our lovely sponsor for this fortnight is Love From Lizi

I have created an double page art journal again. These days art journal has became my stress busters. 

First I gave a coat of white heavy gesso on the base. Next I took tissue napkins in pastel floral design and tear it out according to my plan. Using decoupage matt glue I adhered the tissue napkin on the journal pages, next blended the napkin edges with little heavy gesso. Now I took my new colours to do little experiment, wanted to see how it will look on art Journaling. I added Metallic Gouache on the white space and blended it with the napkin. To add visual impact, I did stamping using script stamp set and Distress Archival ink. To add more texture I fussy cut a rose Decoupage paper and adhered it on the page. Next I added few circles using Brustro acrylic markers and added handwritten sentiment on it to finish it off. 

Hope you all liked it. Please do leave feedback so that I can improve myself more.

Christmas Baubles

 Hello my dear lovely crafty friends, Welcome back to my blog.

A very warm good evening to you all. How are you all doing??? Here in India Covid19 has gone to peak and lockdown at weekends. 

Today I'm sharing a art journal which I created as my design team inspiration post for My Time To Craft Christmas Challenge and this fortnight our theme for the challenge is BAUBLES. 

First I created my background using Distress Crayons and next did stencilling using Distress Oxides and Stencil to create a visual effect. As I didn't have any baubles stamp or die or any stencil so I created my own baubles using washi tape, cardstock and circle die and adhered it on my journal pages. For the sentiment I handwritten it.

Hope you like it. Please do leave me feedback so that I can improve myself more.

I never use an pre coloured digis but this time I have used pre coloured digi. I was suffering  from wrist pain in right side so I used pre coloured digi.

Next I did stencilling and stamping on background to create more texture and interest on pages. Now I adhere the pre coloured digi on it and added stamped sentiment on it. Finally added insta transfer to give more interest.

Using chalk paints I created the background of the journal pages. I have used little water while blending the colours using flat brush. 

Next I took insta transfer tag sheet and fussy cut 3 tags and I transfer them as the instructions given. 

Now I took floral decoupage image and glued it on left page and gave a coat of matt varnish on both the page. 

Using stencil and blending foam, added some stencilling on pages.

A quick easy and simple journal pages.
