--- Off the Rails Scrapbooking DT --- March tutorial - Art Journal Monochrome + yellow

Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing my tutorial project for
Off the Rails Scrapbooking.

This month's inspiration moodboard is all about Monochrome + colour.



I decided to create a page in my Art Journal.

I am really new to Art Journalling and decided to give it a go after seeing some creations by

Selena Stevens Art

Selena makes some amazing mixed media pieces.

I consider my Art Journal as a place to "Create" without the pressure to record a memory or use a photo.
I really have enjoyed my recent exploration of a totally different genre of craft.

So today for my tutorial at Off the Rails Scrapbooking,
I'm giving you a look into my Art Journal so far

and a simple technique video if you'd like to get started.

By the way, if your scared that an "Art Journal" has to be all about Art ...

don't worry that's how I felt, but really it is just another creative outlet and you can do whatever you please.

Here is the video

Thanks for visiting.
I always love to hear comments on my projects ...
but also on my thoughts and ramblings,
so please feel free to leave some love.

Happy Crafting.

--- Colour Blast DT --- "So Much Fun" Scrapbook Layout + process video

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a new project for Colour Blast

My Layout "So much fun"

For this page I've used

Colour Paste Sunshine

Colour Paste Envy

Black Heavy Gesso

Colour Spray Road Base

Colour Spray Saffron

***

Firstly I've started with white cardstock 12x12 and a sheet of patterned paper which I've torn.

Underneath the line of the tear, I freehand used a spatula to "Paint" some of the paste onto the cardstock.

While the paste dries - it's super quick - I've coloured these chipboard circles with Black Heavy Gesso.

Next I want to make some templates the same size as the chipboard, so I trace them onto white A4 paper and cut out the insides.

I chose this stencil because it adds another circular element to the page.

I worked out where the chipboards where going to go and then individually laid out the template and the stencil to apply the Colour Paste Envy.

Peel the template away and your left with circles of paste.

Repeat this process after each one has dried completely for all three circles.

Once dried I've laid the chipboard pieces over my circles for a lovely neat look.

I've also added some splatters of Colour Spray Road Base to the background.

Some doodling and embellishments + title means I'm ready to add the final photo cluster.

I've used the Colour Spray Saffron to colour this plain banner.

I've finished with some sequins and my photo cluster.

This photo is one recently taken at Dreamworld.

I love the combination of the paste with the black chipboard.

This is not a colour combination I would normally think of, but I really like the Sunshine & Envy.

You can check out the process in the video below.

Happy Scrapping

Hi Scrap Friends

Welcome to the May challenge at 

Here is this month's super pretty moodboard:

I have to admit that I was slightly challenged with another pink moodboard this month,
but it forces me to create with photos that are not my boys.

So I challenge you to play along even if you're not a fan of pink.
You could be inspired by the quote or the small child pictures or the gold?
We can all benefit from getting out of our comfort zone now and then!
