Art Journal Spread "d' amour" - More Than Words February Challenge

The February Challenge with More than Words is all about Romance & Rose!

This was a really hard challenge for me. I concider myself a not so romantic person, and my partner is even worse than me. So maybe the lack of roses in my life is the reason why this was so much trouble.... Well, sometimes you just need to go with the task given - and who is not up for a challenge?

 Again I ended up making a Art Journal spread. I find that a perfect media to just try out my skills and dare to fail. I picked up what rose themed papers I could find, fussy cut them and added to the pages. I picked up the colors from one of the roses and gave the pages a soft tone of pink. I could not resist adding a bit of gold - that feels romantic too.... 

I´m actually really happy with how this turned out and maybe there is a string of romance hidden somewhere in me ....

Art Journal "Trough the Dark Season" - MTW November Challenge

 

Times are dark right now. Both due to the pandemic going on and up here in the Northern Hemisphere we have turned into the dark season. This lasts from October until snow arrives and brighten up our world. Hopefully that will soon be, but if we are unlucky - we have to wait until January. Maybe that is why we embrace the colors of the nature, have glimmering lights in the windows and light candles every day. I read somewhere that in Sweden every houshold burn 75 candles in a week - that sounds crazy.

This is what this Art Journal spread is about. To embrace the surroundings. To look behind the grey and dark and see beauty in nature. To give myself and followers hope and comfort. And to say that it actually is ok to be sad, tired and isolated. Time will be brighter. Light will come back. And this pandemic WILL be over!!

Art Journal Spread "Be in the Moment" - Design in Papers Guest Designer

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you have a great week ahead of you and that you will find time for some fun & relaxing craft. Today I´m sharing a Art Journal spread made in a Travelers Passport Book from Prima Marketing that I created for Design in Papers.

I travel a lot due to work and for a long time I have been looking for some sort of book or paper pack to bring with me on my travels. When I found this one it was a perfect match. The book is small so it fit in my handbag and will be perfect to use on flights or on the train.

I created this spread with watercolors from watercolors, stamps & stickers from Finnabair/Prima Marketing & love how it turned out. I also used a stencil from AB Studio. Please watch the video below for the creative process.

Art Journal "Bird" - Mixed Media & Art Design Team

Hello Crafty Souls!

I´m here to share my inspiration piece for the current challenge at Mixed Media & Art - a Art Journal page. I also was inspiered by the monocromatic challenge at scrapki-wyzwaniowo this month.

The November 15 - December 14 Challenge board "Poetry"

I created my page using different mists from Tattered Angels. Layering them with a brush & water and drying in between. A used a script stamp & dark orange stamping in between the layers.

Stamped flowers & leaves from AB Studio painted with bright yellow and dark green mist.

I´m not that much into poetry - but I found this quote that sounds sort of like poetry to me ....

Love the bird rubon from 7gypsies Architextures.

More details of the flowers & leaves. I also added a black stamped script randomly over the page.

Art Journal "Salt in the Air" - Mixed Media & Art Design Team

Good Day Crafty Souls!

I´m here today to show you my inspiration piece for the July Challenge "Sea Fantasies".

The Sea is something precious to me. I grew up by the sea & spent all vacations throughout my childhood and youth on a boat with my parents. I still live by the sea - I can watch it´s marvelous scenery from our house, and it never stops to amaze me. I could not live anywhere where there was no sea or water in sight!

You have until August 14 to link up your project inspired by the moodboard:

I ended up making this Art Journal spread with textures from AB Studio stencils and loads of random stamping and Tattered Angels mists, High Impact paints & Glimmer Glam paints. Stickers from 7 Dots Studio add the final touch.

I hope you like it!

Art Journal "Select Simple" - AB Studio Design Team

Hi creative souls! Today I want to share my latest project for AB Studio - a Art Journal spread using the lovely new paper collections & stamps!

I have used Vintage Elements paper from where I cut out the arrows & the sentiments.

I stained the arrows and the sentiments to tie in with the rest of the page.

I love the Mixed Media stamp set 4. The flowers are SO delicate and usable. I stamped, painted and cut a few out before adding to the page. The scribble stamp (stamp no 70) is just my type of stamp! I love the grungy messy feel it crates.

Stamp no 70 below
