Effects with cling film...

I have created these very simple backgrounds with cling film. Although this is an old technique I really love it and come back to it time and time again as I love the drama you can achieve with this technique.

 

I have sprayed Lindy's Starburst sprays and Glimmermists onto the cling film and layed sheets of ordinary cardstock on top. 

I love these cool tones...

 

By spraying at least 3 colours onto the cling film I got a multi tonal effect...

 

I then used warm tones for this art journal background... 

 

And I had enough left over to make a cover for my Ellen Hull Passport book.

These were so simple to make but I love the effect.

I shall be entering my cards into this week's Simon Says Monday challenge called "flower power". I'm off to rest now and hope to be back soon xx

Floral Art Journal pages...

Hi! Apologies for the long gap since my last post. I have been concentrating on video editing over the last few weeks in the hope that I will soon have my own Youtube channel, but this has inevitably impacted on my crafting.

But today I just had to get back to creating and as I haven't done any art journalling for while, I thought it would make a nice change for me. 

I have created these pages for this week's Simon Says Monday Challenge which is called "A Trio of Something". So I have included 3 flowers, 3 brads and 3 sentiments! 

 

I wanted to add texture to my pages so I have used strips of old ribbon and fabric, and I hope it adds to the overall vintage look.

 

My "art journal" is in fact a really old book that is actually starting to fall apart, but it is great for journalling as the pages are quite thick and can withstand pretty much whatever I throw at it!

 

I will continue with my video editing but I know this may well slow down my blogging as a result, but I will try to be back as soon as possible I promise!

 Take care for now xx
