Welcome to the first instalment of my holiday craft series for 2014! I'm really excited to present to you my handmade christmas ornament tutorial. I had a lot of fun making it and it was a quick and easy project for anyone!
Today I have a fun art journal page to share. I am entering it in the new Stampotique challenge and the theme this week is: Pink and Orange background.
Now let me tell you the story of the perfect timing of this challenge. I recently did a art journal background swap with my friend Jenn who is MixedMediaJenn on youtube. I can't share what I made just yet, but for her background I decided to go out of my comfort zone of colors and use pink and orange (and of course a little touch of purple!). So I already had the color down for this page because I used it to clean up the extra paint on my work surface. So it all worked out perfectly that this challenge was orange and pink. The end. LOL.
I used my new Stampotique stamp "Chicken" that I just got in the mail today
Watch my haul video here (there is also a sneak peek of this page at the end of the video):
I've been on a modelling paste kick recently and I just had to use it on my page. I used 3 different stencils and then went over it and added some pink and orange watercolor just to tone down the white.
Isn't she the cutest? I colored her in my with Copic markers and then sprayed Heidi Swapp white shimmer spray on top. It's hard to see but she has a subtle shimmer. I then tried clear embossing the image.
Hope everyone is having a great Friday! Today will be a good day for me because the wait is finally over…. Veronica Mars the Movie is finally out today and I can't wait to watch it!! Even if that means I have to go alone, never did that before but it should be fun.
As you may know, I have a love for Stampotique Originals stamps and on their Facebook page they host ATC swaps. I recently discovered this and was immediately interest in participating. They have some amazingly talented people on there and I would love to receive an ATC from one of them.
The theme for this ATC swap is "time warp" inspired by my favorite movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show!!!!! How amazing is that!! I was so excited to participate.
{Can you guess which stamps are doing the time warp?}
I had to use my favorite colors on this one, purple and magenta (which is alway my favorite character from the movie!)
Want to see how this bad boy came to life? Watch this!
I am also a part of a personal Rocky Horror swap with someone on the Facebook group and I get to use my Octopode Factory RHPS stamps! So excited! Will post that once I'm done.
