Art journal - April

Hello

Today I'm sharing an art journal spread for a #tagalongaj challenge  If you want to know more you can see the details at Isa.C Art&Craft. The theme for this month is black and white flowers.

I started with Brusho on wet watercolour paper.

 

 

 Next some stamping from PaperArtsy sets ETS06 and ETS09, with some embossed in white.

I added a little colour to the ovals with Posca paint pens and stencilled the honeycomb using a GiogioCraft stencil.

 

I stamped and embossed flowers from the stamp sets, cut them out and added them to the pages. I added a little stamped script in a few places.

 

A few bees from a Sentimentally Yours stamp set finished it off.

The bees are starting to visit the pots on my balcony as the weather warms up. Just waiting for the swifts to arrive now.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a lovely week.

February tagalong

Hello

This year I'm joining in with a monthly tagalong hosted by Isa on FB. There is a live technique tutorial  and this month the feature was gesso. If you are interested you need to ask to join the private tagalong group. I won't share her techniques for obvious reasons.

February tagalong - using gesso to tone down background papers, use as a resist or applied thickly for texture.

 

 

I'm really enjoying being pushed to try new things and being a bit more adventurous in my crafting.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a lovely day xx
