Paint & Fibers Art Journaling Page

Today's art journal page is pretty near and dear to me, my heart, my style and just all the little nitty gritty things I love about mixed media.

It has a bit o' fiber, a bit o' stamping, some chipboard, tons o' white space and a lot of color! It's pretty much me on a page ^_^

There's not a whole lot I can say except it makes me happy :) So watch the video and then view the detail shots & supply list <3

Dapper {12x12 : Avery Elle | May Arts | UmWowSTudio}

This week we are swapping between Avery Elle, May Arts and UmWowStudio. I'll be bringing you at least 2 projects using all three, and maybe even 3 projects using all three fabulous companies.

Today I'm kicking of the week on the UmWowStudio blog with Amy Lassiter. If you head over there you can get the skinny on the week including prizes, stops and all the inspiration! {There's also a video over there on altering chipboard with Tim Holtz Distress Paints!}

Let's get to it shall we! For today's post I created this 12x12 called DAPPER:

The base is a super old piece of My Mind's Eye from their Meadowlark collection.

I've layered up bits n pieces of fun things like Chevron Confetti and Arrow Confetti chipboard, catalog cards, paper clips, washi tape, thread, Glimmer Mist, May Arts Baker's Twine and Avery Elle stamps in IMAGINE Crafts Versafine smoky grey.  

This closeup shows you a piece from the Layered Stars set, a reinforcement from the Soar Tags, some bits n pieces from Authentique's Suave line, and a line from the Line of Chevrons Mask by UmWowStudio. There's also some grey thread, a few found pieces, and more of those adorable paper airplanes from Avery Elle. 

SO! Be sure to head over and see what's up! 

Dear 1 - Prima's Product Pick

Today I'm sharing with you a project inspired by Prima's Product Pick for January.

Glorious in blues and resin, fibers and some metal bits. I sort of went wild with this baby.

Here's my interpretation:

The base is from the North Country Collection my Prima, the flourishes are on the beautiful turquoisy paper. 

Here you can see lots of goodness! The Burlap Twine and Gold Net are both ribbons from May Arts. The Chevrons are from the Chevron Arrow and the Flair is from the brand new Moon Shine Flair, both by UmWowStudio. There's a piece of Prima Canvas torn in the background, accompanies by some Washi Tape from Gauche Alchemy. I've layered up some bits from Prima including a Junkyard Finding water tap, and an Engraver Brad. The { w i t h   l o v e } is by Viva Las VegaStamps! (my design!)

I love adding little details to corners and areas around the layout. I've ripped up this corner and tucked behind it a coordinating sheet of colored corrugated board. More ripped Prima Canvas and another Engraver brad. The stencil markings and splatters around the page are made with Distress Paint in Antique Linen. It's been used with the Checker Board Mask from UmWowStudio.

I love these two deer so much.. they come from one of Prima's Resist Canvas sets. One has been colored with Glimmer Mist in Charcoal and the other with the Antique Linen Distress Paint. Both are outlined in a dusting of Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

And finally the top left corner. Prima's Bark Stars and drips from the Junkyard Findings Taps, Prima Canvas, May Arts Golden Netting, staples and some Washi Tape from Gauche Alchemy.

Well.. that's all the eye candy I have for you today :) Thanks for stopping!
