My Sunshine by Cassie Box

I will add hearts to every layout I make all year.
I just look a little less insane when I add them to my layouts in February.
For this layout, I used a little bit of everything!
I wanted to highlight my 2 kids so I used the Miniature Polaroids, which were perfect because I typically print my Instagram photos out 2x2.
That giant arrow across the top of my page made for a nice frame and balance for the sunshine word in my title.
You will always find Heart Confetti on all my layouts. Always. I love it.
The XO in the corner is one of my new faves! It's part of the Love Confetti.
I snuck some Chevron Confetti at the points of my banner as a repeating element.
To top it all off, I used not 1 but 2 pieces of Mustard Flair. I love flair.

My Motivational Art Journal Page

Hello everyone,

It's my turn to hang out with all you lovely UmWowStudio people and today I've "brought" with me an art journal page to share!

I've had a strong need to paint lately but I've had no formal training, no exact idea of how I want to approach it and sometimes that thought hinders me. Well, I found this quote by Andy Warhol which was so motivating to me:

“Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.”

I made to AJ page to remind myself of that quote and I used some UmWowStudio goodness to help me express myself.

Do you know what I love about my UmWowStudio goodies? Their versatility! They're perfect for layouts but you can use them on canvases, altered projects, and of course art journal pages.

I used the Line of Chevron Mask and Circle Confetti Mask over the background.

To add interest to my sketch used various different confetti and randomly painted over them:

Chevron Confetti, Love Confetti, Star Confetti, and Tiny House MASH.

Go create and have fun!

come too late - art-journal by Tusia Lech

Hello UWS fans :)

Lately I journal a lot and today I would like to share with you one of my journal spread. I played with gorgeous UWS stencils using different media - I will try to tell you a little bit about techniques I used.

I began with priming both pages with Finnabair Clear Gesso. It gives tooth and prevents all media from soaking through the pages.

Then I applied Luminarte Silks using wide brush. Next step was gluing down some paper stripes. And then - the magic begins :) I started to play with UWS stencils and different media.

Above you can see UWS Hexagon Mask - I sprayed Glimmer Mist through it. On top of it I applied Finnabair 3D Matte Gel mixed with LSG Magicals using UWS Circle Confetti Mask.

UWS Circle Confetti Mask was used by me also with Finnabair 3D Gloss Gel (last photo) and Glimmer Mists (photo below). Each layer had been dry, before I have applied the next one. A cherry on a top was a chipboard from UWS Love Confetti Chipboard set.

I have added some stamping using Nature Walk (7 Dots Studio) stamp set and alpha stamps.

On the photo below you can see also flying butterflies, that I created using Glimmer Mist and wonderful UWS Butterfly Swarm Mask.

Final step was creating some splashed using white Ecoline and adding some drawing using pencil.

I hope you liked my art-journal :) Thank you for visiting UmWowStudio blog today!

I Reckon So

Hello everyone! Hope you're all having a wonderful day! Today I'm sharing with you my "not so typically romantic" romantic page:) I appreciate how UmWowStudio products can be used for such diverse subjects....including love and romance, while not being obviously so (unless you want it to be!).

I started off with paper from 7Dots Studio, Nature Walk and put some slabs of primary colors (mixed with molding paste for texture). After that I used a bunch of UmWowStudio goods.

I used the Twinkle Speech Bubbles to frame our question and answer. Left them raw of course, as I thought that would pop more against the bright primary colors. This Day Hashtag Banners add that extra bit of fun (and straight lines against the curves)...I also left them raw for the same reasons.

And aren't these Alpha ONE letters just the right size for fitting into the word bubbles? I painted them white to contrast against the raw chippies.

I couldn't decide which flair I wanted to use between the Sidewalk Chalk and Mustard 29 flair so I used both! For the Sidewalk Chalk heart I used the same acrylic blue paint as I did on my paper, on the space around the flair to make it match my paper. The yellow "love" flair I left alone as it fit my page perfectly. I added a teeny tiny "potty" couple from the fun Love Confetti collection (so fun!) to finalize that embellishment cluster.

Hope you have a creative day!

two tags by Tusia Lech

Hello ladies :)

Today my turn to inspire you a little bit :) I created 2 tags using UmWowStudio products, May Arts ribbons, PanPastels and some more products.

Background was created with PanPastels and some stamps. I have added also a layer of vellum.

This tag was meant to emanate with love, so I have used Love Confetti chipboard pieces and The 2 of us flair.

The second tag is about lack of perfection. We should accept imperfection - we are humans, not robots :) And I wanted to created a small reminder of this :)
