Art Journal Class 27th June

Hi Lovelies,

 Yesterday some of our Art Journal ladies gathered for a class
with Helen to create this beautiful page.


As always, the ladies have endless amount of fun, while learning new techniques 
and leaving with their very own masterpiece.


The ladies began by spritzing their page with Tim Holtz Distress sprays and Dylusions to create a base.
Jo Sonja's paint was then added to a few sections for more dimension.


A multi size circle stencil was then used with Jo Sonja's 
paints to add small pops of colour.


The key to a good art journal page is layers, so another 
was added to the page using various stamps in different colours.


After a light wash of Dylusions 'White Linnen' to soften and blend everything 
together, the ladies were ready to draw and colour their flowers.


The pages turned out beautifully and everyone was
very impressed with their work.


When you look closely, there are so many elements to this page that
all work together to create a mini masterpiece.


A little bit of black grease pencil around the edges made the flowers stand 
out on the page and was the final touch to this stunning project.


Our Art Journal classes are held on Tuesdays and Fridays 
and are always full of fun and laughter. 

Call our lovely ladies at the Scrap N Patch if you 
would like to share in the fun.

New South Wales Adventure - Tenterfield

Hi lovelies, A little earlier start this morning than yesterday.  We were up having a lovely breakfast by 8am.   It was a little sad this morning as we said goodbye to Steph and Leo.  We have had such a blessed time with them and we look forward to catching up with them again when we head to South Australia next year. As the weather was drizzly today we decided to head off to visit some of the nearby National Parks.  Our day consisted of dirt roads, mossy paths, lots of kangaroos and very few cars.  Gramps we are very sorry but the O Mobile is in great need of a bath.  If it rains tonight I will be sending Robbie out in his swimmers to give it a wash. Our first stop was to see Thunderbolts Hideout.  It is a short walk through some bush to see where this apparently "gentlemanly" bushranger hid. It was then back into the car and off to see the Tank Traps that were part of the Brisbane Line.  It is a fairly visually unimpressive place for such an important part

Dylusions Dy-Cuts Art Journal

Hi Lovelies, This week's edition of Art Journal is very special, stunning and unique! We can't get enough of all the textures and colours going on in this page! We just love this.  This wonderful page features the Dylusions 'Dy-Cuts' which are quirky and colorful pre-cut shapes which make the perfect addition to any art journal page! You probably can already guess what paints we have used this week... The stunning, vibrant colours which are leaping of this page, are of course, Dylusions paints! When you take a closer look at you can see the texture and elements which have been layered to create this stunning page. A script stamp is perfect for layering and can fill in any gaps where you think something might be missing but not quite sure what! Helen has scattered some of the new Dina Wakley 'Collage Words' across the two pages. These are great as you can add a sentiment to your page whilst still allowing the colours from the background to
