Enjoy The Journey

Hello fellow crafters, thanks for joining me today.

Enjoy the Journey is a travel journal. I started by using the cover of ab old journal I had and adhered travel paper I had in my stash. When that was completed, I cut the journal pages out of ivory card stock. Different travel paper was adhered to each of the pages. I used my Zutter to create the holes & match them up to the journal covers. All the chipboard pieces are painted with white gesso. I then went over the chipboard pieces with ivory paint and I sprayed some of the pieces with different colored sprays. The front pieces of chipboard were painted black distress paint.

Inside front pages, the chipboard pieces are for journaling.

This piece was sprayed and stamped.

The Eiffel Tower is from the String Alongs - Paris set.

I used a scripted stamp on of the chipboard piece above.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Autumn Skyline by Kim F

Good morning friends. Today I would like to share my mixed media canvas. I was really inspired by colour for this canvas and wanted to work with lots of bright colours. I got out my Dylusions paints and mixed them with some texture paste to give the effect of trees in the background.

I took a smaller brush to draw in some lines to give the impression of tree branches once the other colours were dry. I used the same black paint to paint the chipboard as well, I wanted the contrast of the black skyline up against the colourful trees.

I used some foam tape to pop up some of the buildings to give the piece more dimension.
