The Glittered Poppleberry

Evening to you all. I have been spending the evening making more batches of tags for the Craft fair in December. I am having good fun making some tags that aren't Christmas related too! This is going to be the centre point on the front of some more tags. These are the generic ones to be used year round. I used my 'wink of Stella clear glitter pen on top of the jellyfish image. It's so sparkly but I don't think the camera has really picked it up. Everyone needs a glitter pen like this, I love mine. The stamp set used on this centre piece is 'so jelly by lawn fawn and 'tiny sayings ' by Lawn fawn also. Such cute little sets. Yesterday I recieved my order from Anna Marie designs. This was my trees to finish off my advent calendar. So I have painted them with green acrylic paint. This step was incredibly messy, I don't know how but I ended out with paint on my neck, face and clothes. Once painted and dry, I applied Super thick slap it on ( Indigoblu)...

Well hello there! For this step by step I have been using the art journal prompts from the Mission Inspiration Facebook page, they are also on YouTube if you need a few more ideas where to start, Hop over and have a look, its great fun! I will go through each prompt and explain what I have done for the prompt, if you would like to see the original prompts without my step by step swing by their Facebook page. 1. I got a piece of craft cardstock, then ripped pieces of newspaper text and applied them across my page using matt mod podge( I LOVE MATT MOD PODGE) ! 2. Next I used my Picked Raspberry distress ink, I smeared it onto my glass mat and added water to it. I then brushed the ink all over my page. I then dried this with a heat tool before starting with my Cosmic shimmer paint. 2. I used my cosmic shimmer paint down the left side and bottom of my page, I didn't apply it carefully as I wanted brush strokes for texture. I again dried with a heat tool...

Afternoon! Yay I have made my first ever entry for Junk Journals Junkies And Mindful Art, this group can be found on Facebook. The Explore your creativity prompts were as follows, use a stencil, using embossing paste and use the colour blue. This is how I created my journal page using these 3 prompts. First of all I chose the stencil I wanted as my focal point, this fairy stencil was gifted to me by a lovely friend. Next I had a rummage around for some vintage styled tissue paper. I ripped small areas of the tissue and applied it to my blue cardstock with matt mod podge. Once this has been gently dried with a heat tool I can then move on to adding some blue ink. These tissue papers always add some lovely background texture and detail. I applied Distress ink with an ink duster brush. I used Broken china distress ink for this. I added more ink in some areas than others to give some depth to the tissue paper pieces. Again I dried this with a heat...
