Art journal with a butterfly by JaMajka

Hello :) 

It's JaMajka here.

I created an art journal page full of color,

using a butterfly chipboard by UmWowStudio

from Layered Butterflies set.

You can buy it here:

- Layered Butterflies

Here you can see some details and close-ups.

I've painted my butterfly with metallic paint,

 it has beautiful color and shine.

I used the same paint in the background.

So I sort of love this layout. Every now and then I find that I simply MUST do a diagonal layout. I had planned to use some big letter stickers for the title but found that I didn't like the way it looked. I wound up tracing around the letters and cutting them out, leaving just enough attached to keep them on the page.

I painted a few of the layered banner pieces (which I adore, by the way. There will likely be tears shed when they are all gone). I also used the Mini Heart Polaroid frame to showcase one of my photos. The patterned paper has been in my stash for quite a while and I'm sorry to report that I've forgotten who it's by!

tag tutorial by Tusia Lech

Hello bloggers :)

Today I would like to show you two tags and a little tutorial, how I created them.

I used 2 tags, I have created once using Gelli Plate and gorgeous UmWowStudio stencils - Checker Board mask and Cicada mask. 

If you would like to watch the process, here is the video - please watch the very first minute of it:

I altered chipboard pieces (Leaf Stems and Wild Lilies) using some media.

At first I applied white gesso.

Then I applied Finnabair Soft Gloss Gel using palette knife and....

...and sprinkled Finnabair yellow glitter.

When everything dried, I sprayed chipboard with Chalk Glimmer Mist.

I distressed the edges of the tags using distress ink and started to put all elements together.

Here is the final effect and some close-ups:

Dream a Little Dream Visual Journal Page with Jen Matott

 

Hi UmWow Studio fans!  I'm here to share a little tutorial on how to create with lots of fun textures and use UmWow Studio Mask/Stencils!  This visual journal page was done with the UmWowStudio Star Confetti Mask , Circle Confetti Mask, and Cicada Mask.  

 I used a Unity Stamp set that had a stitched look.  I added stars with the UmWow Studio Star Confetti Mask, Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Iced Chai Gelato® from the Steampunk color set, and Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Glass Bead Glitter Gel through the mask!   To apply the Gelato® color through the stencil, use a foam applicator to pick up some of the color from a non-stick craft mat.  Rub through the stencil in a circular motion.  It creates a soft effect.  I added a bit more through the Circle Confetti Mask in different colors.  

 Then, I used a palette knife to apply the Glass Bead Glitter Gel through the stencil and allowed it to dry.  You will know it's dry because it turns from white to clear in color.  Some dripped, watered-down Gelato® was added for more shimmer.

 I used a Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft PITT Artist pen in a small tip to draw through the Cicada Mask!  I love this winged beauty!  I added a bit more scribble to it for interest. 

 Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft introduced a new product at CHA and it is gorgeous on the UmWow Studio chip!  Texture Lux can be brushed on or built up with texture tools.  I just brushed it on in silver and gold on some UmWow Studio Star Confetti and Layered Star Chip.

 Some Crate Paper rub ons were added and the Layered Star Chip was added last. I love working in layers in my journals.  Simple shapes can become very complex and show depth with lots of layers.

 The theme of the page was Dreams and I wanted it to look sparkly and whimsical! Lots of layers create texture and a fun page!

 I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial on how I created this page!  Thanks for visiting today!

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.
