Summer by Tracy Blackwolf

Hello everyone!

For my blog project today, I did a page in my art journal-enjoy.

I started by doing the blue corners first. I sprayed several spray stains and then sprayed water and kept alternating until I was happy.. Then I did the yellow and red. again using water to thin and move around the colors.

Next I used my pearl ex watercolor pallet and painted several colors on here and there until I was happy. I love the shimmer of the pearl ex.

While that dried, I stamped and fussy cut the swimsuit lady out and painted her. Next I stamped the various images where I wanted them- making an l shape on the page. I added the seahorse washi tape. I used two layers of foam tape behind the girl since I wanted her to stand out nicely. Added a die cut green sprig and then done! I used the chain link fence stamp as fish net- it works pretty good but then it mostly got covered up.

SOMETIMES IT'S OKAY by Fran Chalmers

Hi everyone

Today I have made a card for a friend that is going through a hard time at the moment. The sentiment is something I believe we should all take note of when we are feeling stressed.

First of all I made a background with Brushos in black and orange spritzed with water.

The black brusho has so many colours in it, you don't need to use lots of different brushos.

I stamped the main image on thick paper and coloured her, then fussy cut her out.

I stamped the sentiment straight onto the card mat

After gluing the main image onto the card, I went round the edges twice with a black fine liner and mounted the mat onto black card, and then onto a white card blank.
