22nd January 2021 Caroline Journal, Painting

I’ve started doing an A5 Art Journal. Not loads of text but some. With this page I collaged the background with scraps of paper and decoupage paper, added paint and stencilled with paste.

The lady is a Jane Davenport stamp.

Paint splatters and a bit of stamping finished the page off!

It is so nice to do a boy theme card for a change. It is so nice to do a boy theme card for a change. Girly or feminine cards are what I automatically go for so to be given the challenge of Boys or Men for the Polkadoodles Challenge 21st May made me go for something different. Pip, Onesie is such a cute image for a small boys card, although all you need to do is more feminine colours for the onesie and then it could be girly too!!

Gorgeous recent release by Sam Poole, Creative Exp Gorgeous recent release by Sam Poole, Creative Expressions! Hearts can be used anytime for any occasion and these are lovely shabby chic type hearts, which I coloured and then fussy cut before applying to layers with 3d pads. I then used Sam’s 8×8 Paper Pad Shabby Blooms to create a handmade envelope to coordinate with the card. I used a plain white envelope as a template and then cut out with the patterned paper. I did have to use two pieces but you can add together on a fold. i then used the bigger heart to add to the envelope. . #creativeexpression #creativeexpressionscraft #create #creativity #creative #cards #cardmaker #cardmaking #craft #crafts #crafting #craftersofinstagram #stamping #stamper #stamps #papercrafts #hearts #handmade

Gorgeous rubber stamps and available from @oakwooddirect now! With this particular splatter stamp you can create a dark grunge effect with a splatter stamp or go bright – and I went bright!

The foil gives a fantastic extra effect on a project, and so simple to use. Simply add Gilding Glue through a stencil, leave it to dry for about 15 minutes and then add the foil and brush the excess of to reveal the stencil design. . #oakwooddirect #stamping #stamper #stamps #stampersofinstagram #foil #stencil #stencilstuff #stencils #impressionobsession #distressoxideinks #cards #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #craft #crafts #crafting #craftersofinstagram
