Morning! Happy Friday,

I'm up on the blog today with an Art Journal Page using fabulous Flutterby Design Goodies!

When ever I'm creating layouts for the blog, I usually throw any left over paint or use up the paint on my brayer in my Art Journal. This is how this double page came to life! 

The background has been started in this way, using the Flutter colour paint. I've either brayered it on or flicked and smudged it over the spread. I've then used some of the Art Foamie stamps to create some extra background interest, then mixed my paint with some clear Gel Medium and used a variety of stencils to layer it up further.

I love all the quirky sayings and quotes on the Everyday Etc Cards, so using them for your Art Journal pages is a really great idea. As well as cutting out shapes from the Filler Cards.

Art Journal pages are a great way to practice different ideas for your mixed media layouts. Once you have a collection of Flutterby Design stencils, paints and stamps, creating some Art Journal pages is a great way to use your supply.

Thanks for taking a peek.

Happy Monday!

I'm enjoying having a day off for the long weekend today, hope you are enjoying whatever you are up to today!

Today I'm back on the blog with another layout from the 'Parent of the Year' collection.  I've started with a black card background and dry brushed some Flutter Colour Paint in Grape Soda, Tropicana Teal and Green Limousine on the background.  Over the top of this with the Cobblestone stencil I've sponged through some Artic White.

I've then splattered some of the white and some Sunshine Yellow over the top. Once this is dry I've stamped some designs from the Foam Stamps 'Edgies' with Distress Oxide ink in coordinating colours.

 My photo is then layered with the Everday Etc Filler cards from Parent of the Year. I found the perfect title for my photo in the Everday Etc cards and also added the Parenthood Acrylic title. I've used my white paint pen to highlight and randomly scribble around some of the stamps and titles to add interest. To finish off I've added a heart from the Die Cuts Bits and Bobs. Another easy to put togther layout with fantastic products. As always I've linked everything back to the shop, so that you can look at the huge range on offer.

 Hi Everyone,

Happy Friyay!!! 😁😁

My turn up on the blog today with my latest layout featuring Art Foamies, I am in total love with these stamps, there are new designs available soon in the Flutterby Shop so don't miss out..

So while I was at the Flutterby Retreat last weekend and had the whole Flutterby shop to browse thru, I snagged a few (ok...a lot) of Flutterby goodies some really new and some older pieces. There is nothing like raiding your stash to go with your new goodies to make your layout work.

Let's take a look at some of the other products used to create this layout.

12x12-flawsome-paper-pack

flawsome-wood-veneers-bits

random-everyday-etc-cards

foam-stamps

documented-fussy-cuts

happily-ever-after-flair-buttons-set-2

enamel-dots

flawsome-sticky-quotes

To balance the layout, I used teal accents in my layering under the photos and also layered underneath the fussy cut star. I left my wood veneer mostly raw except for a few stars which i painted black.

In keeping with my layout design I stamped my Art Foamies off the side of the yellow paper, 'Sunshine' from the Flawsome collection. This allowed for my title to go on the side as well, i think it draws the eye to the photos. 

Everyday Filler Cards for the win! great for layering and matching with your background and your accents. 

Add a few enamel dots to tie the whole thing together and a few accents in black.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today, 

Hugs

Hello, Bernii here with you today sharing an art journal layout using the amazing new Artfoamies that have just been released.

The ones I am particularly playing with are the " Edgies" which you can grab from the store HERE.

These cool Artfoamies take me back to being a kid playing and creating with something similar.. so when I was creating in my art journal I felt the inner child in me wanting to come out and play. So awesome. 

I used the Artfoamie to create unity across the bottom of my photos. For this particular layout I used white acrylic paint and then outlined it with a black fine tip pen. 

I then fussy cut out a tab from the " Blackboard Notes 3" tab to tuck behind a photo as well as one from the " Happy Together" page tabs. 

I KNOW you will love the Artfoamies as much as I do so make sure you check them out in store. 

Thank so much for stopping by till next time. 

Much love 

Bernii xx
