'Chase the Sun' with Lisa Amiet

Hello all!

It's Lisa here today to share my latest art journal page

for this month's 'Art Foamies' challenge!

'Chase the Sun'

Now before I tell you how this page came about,

I have to tell you that I'm not a huge fan of this page, 

everything went a bit pear shaped lol.

I have used my 'Dylusions Creative Journal - Large' and I have started with a

coat of 'Paper Artsy Fresco Finish - Pumpkin Soup' paint. 

I have then added another coat, but while it was still wet, 

I used a scrunched up piece of paper to remove some of the paint. 

I have then used my '6x6 Dreamscapes Triangle Stencil' from 7 Dots Studio, 

to lightly ink through with a 'Blending Tool' and 'Distress Ink - Peeled Paint'.

Next is where things changed a bit. I have used my 

'13 Arts Rainbow Color' in Navy Blue,

I have added some water and let the colour flow over my page. 

Once dried I changed it again. I just wasn't feeling it. 

I have used my 'Red Tin Roof Doily #4 Large' stencil, 

and white gesso to sponge through the stencil. 

 

I have then added some doodles to my doilies. 

I have then added a leaf sticker from the 

'Pinkfresh - Escape the Ordinary Chipboard Stickers'.

I have then stamped out some flowers,

 using my 'Art Foamies Art by Marlene Poppy - Small',

and 'Distress Inks' in 'Rusty Hinge' and 'Peeled Paint'. 

I have added a word sticker from 'Pinkfresh Boys Fort Element Stickers'.

I have then used my 'Art Foamies Balzer Leaf Vine Small' and 

'Distress Inks' in 'Mowed Lawn', 'Spiced Marmalade' and 'Faded Jeans'

I have cut them all out and layered them down the left side of my page. 

I have then used more of the chipboard stickers

 from the 'Pinkfresh Escape the Ordinary' collection, 

and a 'Pinkfresh Escape the Ordinary Fabric Diecut' arrow layered over my page. 

I have then used my 'Art by Marlene Storms Don't Last' stamps to stamp in 

'Distress Ink Faded Jeans'. I have cut it out and added it to my page. 

I really love the colour scheme of this page, 

but it didn't turn out quite like I had planned, but that's half the fun!

I hope that you get a chance to have an experiment today,

and that this inspires you.

Until next time!

Lisa

Some Foamie Inspiration with Lisa Amiet

Hello all! 

It's Lisa here today to share some inspiration with you.

This month's challenge is all about Art Foamies,
 and this is the layout I have created.

I have kept my layout quite simple,

 as I wanted the Art Foamies to be the feature of my page. 

I have used a white card stock background. 

I have then used the 'Balzer Leaf Vine Small' and my 

Paper Artsy Fresco Paint in 'Granny Smith', to stamp out the vines.

I have then used the 'Art by Marlene Rose Small',

and to stamp these I have mixed 'Dylusions Post Box Red',

with some Paper Artsy Fresco Finish in 'Turquoise',

 to make a deeper darker red. 

I have then also used some of this red to splatter my background. 

I have then fussy cut all the leaves and roses out. 

I have then started by building up a 'bed of roses',

for my photo to sit on :)

I have then added in my leaves, tucking them under the edges of my roses. 

I have added a half rose in the bottom corner, layered with leaves. 

I have then used one of the quotes from the 'Dina Wakley Media Collage Words'.

I have adhered them to white cardstock and cut them out. 

I have then scattered them in among my roses. 

I have only glued the centre of the roses, so you still get a bit of dimension. 

I hope that you like what I have created. 

I can't wait to see all your fabulous entries!

Until next time!
