Who'll Stop the Rain? By Sindi Jeffers

Hi everyone! I’m just stopping by to share a quick tutorial and layout. I have had so much since joining this team. I’ve loved playing with the chipboard and I’ve learned lots of new ways to alter it. For this layout, I used a super simple technique to alter a few pieces. Although it was simple, I love the effect it created.


This layout was inspired after we went to a Cincinatti Reds game last week. I must have checked the weather a billion times, and I swear I didn’t see rain coming from anywhere. Of course, we wound up sitting through an hour-long rain delay. Just my luck! I wanted the clouds and rain drops on this layout to have a watery look. Here’s how I achieved that:

First, I covered my chipboard with a layer of white gesso.


Next, I covered the chipboard with blue india ink. I like to cover it with ink and then dab with a paper towel before it dries. It gives it a texturized look.


The next step is to drip a bit of white paint on there. I used white acrylic paint that I thinned down with some water. I just sort of slung it on there.



Super easy!

Enjoy Today by Cassie Box

I love this kid.
This was such a fun day. We made snow angels and jumped on the trampoline.
That's dangerous. Don't do it.
As you can see, I love layers!
I love layering my clothes, my paper and my embellishments!
Layer all the things!
UmWow Chipboard is so nice to layer because you can buy packs with varying sizes.
I chose the Layered Raindrops for my base.  I flipped it to look like a Geotag.
Then added a Circle and a Heart.
That kid will always be where my heart is. <3
I use Glossy Accents to adhere my chippies.
It works great!
I am a big fan of adding embellishments on top of my photos as well.
I love Chevrons and the way they look when repeated.
Lastly, on this layout, I added a number tab because numbers are always a good addition!
See what I did there?!

Be your own kind of beautiful!

Hello and Happy Wednesday!

Tina here today with another Art Journal page, featuring the wonderful, Layered Raindrop Chip.  I thought this Chip resembled flower petals, so I created a page using them as a floral design element.


To create texture on each 'petal' I first applied a liberal coating of gesso, then Luminarte Silks Paint and contrasting embossing powder.  Once the chips were adhered on my page, I then applied several colors of Lindy's Magicals (a powdered mica) to each petal for more color and dimension. 



For the centers of my flowers, I applied to same technique (of coloring my petals above) to Square Confetti and layered them in the center of each flower.



I also used several Raindrops as leaves for my flowers, simply colored in a leaf color.


I hope you enjoyed my art journal page today.  Have a wonderful week and thank you for stopping by!

Miae says : Hey everyone! Using both UmWowStudio and Gauche Alchemy on my page today and what a great pair they make! UWS and GA had just the right goodies to help me embellish my page and tell my story.

This page is about my family and our love of traveling so I used the Potty People set to depict us and the Layered Raindrops as a map pin icon. Those little Potty People were exactly what I needed and they come in three different sizes....just perfect for my family of four! I left them au natural because they're just so cute as they are! I wanted my map pin symbol to be bold, say "here we are!" so I covered it with black glitter then painted it with black distress stain.

Washi tape and punchinella from Gauche Alchemy helped to create my background. The washi tape had these tiny little hearts, so cute! I used the hearts punchinella as a stencil with molding paste to create background texture and then used it again as layering under the photo to break up the straight lines and give contrast between the white photo border and the white background paper. I also used items from the Blue Streak Mixed Media Color Kit to make my title. I found that big ol' 4 to be just right.
