MOJO MONDAY - FLYING UNICORN

Hello Scrappers,

Im here today to share a post for Mojo Monday over at Flying Unicorn.

Every Monday we release a sketch and an inspirational layout for you to get inspiration

from. This week the Amazing sketch is by Tammy Henderson....whoa! what a sketch!!!!

 

Hmmmmm, my not being the flowery type, wanted to grung this up a tad.....

so I went looking thru my stash and found some papers Id loved when they were released and began to play.

Here is my result!

 

 

I used 2 sheets from the Kaiser Base Coat collection, and one from a Prima collection.

I used torn book pages, cake doilys, and some old Prima blooms, plus the Mechanical Clock faces, light bulbs and from Finnabair and a Maya Road key..

There is an old Kaiser wooden clock face, and 1 part of a broken wooden corner scroll.....( never throw away broken stash...hehe) and prima pebbles.

Hope this inspires you to dig out your old stash and get creative.

Thanks to Tammy for the awesome Sketch.....

Mish, AKA Bubbachooka

Hi Scrappers, I want to share with you a Tim Holtz tage that I made using the Tutorial by Bexta76 over at the Flying Unicorn, and my Tim Holtz stash!

First, following Bex's Tut, I grunged up and embossed my Umbrella man die cut. Then I added him to  a tag that I made using my precious TH stash!

 

 

now heres the tag with unbrella man.

I used the Umbrella Man die,

the Tim Holtz stencil - clockwork

TH compass bling

TH word bans

TH adornments - regal

TH fasteners

various inks

 

 

Have a scrappy weekend!!!!!!!

 

WCYDW - What can you do Wednesday

 
Hello Scrappers, welcome to my WCYDW post.

Today Im going to show you how easy it was to cover the

amazing journal that came in your January kit.

I have coverd mine and given it a sparkly texture look.

This method can be used to do canvas's layouts, journal covers, jewellery

the works.

 

firstly I took all my products from the kit,

Then I started by applying the drywall tape to the journal

in places here and there

 

Next step is to Gesso over this. And start to place your decorations.

 

Then you place all your bling and deco's where you want them to go,

 

now comes the fun part, glue them down and gesso EVERYTHING!!!!

 

once thats dry you get to play with your lindys stamp gang inks that came in the kit, you can

also of course use your own inks and sprays to suit yourself.

 

after inking over my items, and drying it along with my heat tool

I left it to sit for a while, in the sun.....

Now im back to give it a second go with the sprays, to make sure its good and glittery and to catch any spots I might of misted to light.

 

Now once DryI go over the whole cover with Mod Podge - Lustre....

this sets the colours and gives them a deep rich tone but still lets the sparkle of Lindys

show thru.

 

 

While the mod podge is still wet and drying I gave a few quick spurts here and there for added lustre.

not to much just a little.

 

I wiped off my pink diamond bling piece, I wanted it left natural state.

and viola, your done.

 

This technique can be used on anything that you can gesso.

 

I hope yuo enjoyed my Journal cover technique and come along to the journal

challenge in the FUL forum ,so we can start to fill these awesome journals together.

Meow for now

FLYING UNICORN ART JOURNAL CHALLENGE

Howdy scrappers, Today I share with you my Art journal challenge.

firstly Id like to show you a Journal page that I did using the Gorgeous January Kit from FUL.

Ok here we go:

The supplies I used are all from the January kit.....

 

1. I took a page from the kit and cut it to size to fit my journal, also from the kit!

 

Then I splotched Ayeeda gesso on the page, you can use white paint, gesso or white ink. if you prefer, then you let that dry.....

Then I added a few paper doilys, lace trim & cheese cloth and did the gesso again.

Then I used the Matte Coral and lemon paints fromthe kit to give it its first layer of colour.

Then I added a few pieces of tape ribbon and I was ready for my spritz's!

This is the fun part, spritzing your lindys glorious colours, I have to say Grab a guy gold

is my all time fav Lindys colour!

Then I placed my bling and embellies giving them a touch of gesso.

Then I spritzed again.

Now at this point I was happy and started to pack away my supplies....However

oh oh, theres always a however, I put my heat tool away and saw in my reject box( stuff id rejected on other layouts and just hadnt put away yet) a packet of Prima birds/butterfly bling.....hmmmmmmm should I? of course I should!

Now it was done! Voila, art journal page!

 

So now ladies, its your turn, show me your art journal Prowess!
