Pen Sketched Flower journal/diary page

Hi crafty friends,

Welcome back to my blog.  Last year I decided to try a planner/art journal project.  But I found that with using the smart phone, the planning part of the project wasn't working out.  So this year I would concentrate on the art journal part and add the diary element to it.  

Here's my first layout done using Altenew Pen Sketched Flowers Stamp and Die.

I stamped the flowers on rice paper (also know as mulberry paper), and then watercolored.  The experience is quite different from watercoloring on watercolor paper since the rice paper is quite thin, the water spreads very quickly but not the pigment. 

After it dried, I die cut and then adhere to my journal using Matte Medium.  On my journal page I stamped the leaves using distress ink and spritzed with water, I want to create a softer look for the background.  I also spritzed a tiny bit of  Twinkling H2O watercolor (Mango Mamba) over the page.  Next I stamped sentiments, drew the lines on right hand side (yeah can't write straight without lines, lol), and voila, it's ready to go. 

Supplies:

Altenew Pen Sketched Flowers Stamp and Die Bundle

Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set

Alternew New Me Stamp Set

Range Jet Black Archival Ink

Ranger Peeled Paint Distress Ink

Luminarte Twinkling H2O Shimmering Watercolors

Thanks for visiting.  I wish you a lovely day!

Pen Sketched Flowers 20200107

Hello my crafty friends,

I must say I don't have a habit of using orange and purple as a color combination.  But when I saw Altenew's Jan 2020 Inspiration Challenge photo, even though it takes me out of my comfort zone, I want to try it and this is what I came up with.

I was one of the November 2019 Inspiration Challenge winners, I used my gift card towards the purchase of the Pen Sketched Flowers Stamp & Die Bundle, I've been eyeing this set for a while and now I have them in my stash!!!  So happy!!

New Year Mandala on Die Cut Divas

Happy New New everybody!

May all your New Year wishes come true and more!!

As usual on the first day of the month a new challenge awaits on Die Cut Divas.  This month's challenge theme: New Things.  And our sponsor is Kat Scrappiness.

Now onto my card.

On a white card front, I lay down Altenew Doily Frame stencil and stenciled with Abandoned Coral.  Next I gold embossed the Mandala die cut, it is so pretty I didn't want to add too much to it, so I just adhered it to the card front, and then added a gold heat embossed sentiment banner.  Voila, a clean and layered card.  

Here's a close look at the banner, it reads: 

"Here Is Wishing You a New Year that Is Abundant 

Not Only With Wealth But Also With Wonderful Memories".

So the New Things in my card is the new ink pad and stamp set (from which the sentiment comes).

Now hop over to Die Cut Divas and check out what my teammies created for you.
