9 - Art Journal page by Valia Katzaki

Hello crafty friends!

Today I would like to show you another art journal page using glorious Dusty chippies and flowers. I am in love with my art journal lately and Dusty pieces always help my inspiration to flourish. This is an 17cm x 23cm page from my watercolor journal inspired by our October moodboard. Beautiful photo by Mel Plum of Au Contraire photography. 

Our moodboard 

The Lacey trims were painted with Finnabair steampunk copper acrylic paint and then misted with two shades of Lindy's mists, Bucket o Blood Red and Red Hot Poker Orange from my beloved Autumn leaves Spay set. Because of the acrylic underneath, the mists didn't cover completely the chipboard, resulting in a beautiful stained, marbled look I ended up loving! 

I used Dusty Attic modeling paste to give texture to my background. I made random splatters with Burnished Brass mist. I applied a thick layer of acrylic paint on my chains and then heat dryed it closely to make the paint bubble for extra texture. I also glued several Dusty blings. 

The Dusty Attic blooms were colored with mist made from Finnabair micas and Lindy's Burnished Brass mist - what can I say? I am a like girl who loves shine! 

For a full list of Dusty products used please visit our blog here. 

Join in the Dusty fun and you may win 100$ store credit!!! 

With my art journal page I would like to participate in the Lindy's Stamp Gang September challenge. All Lindy's products used are linked on my description. 

I hope I inspired you with my art project! Until next time, 

xoxo 

Μια δημιουργική σεζόν ξεκινά στο Scraps n Pieces!

Καλημέρα και Καλή Σχολική Χρονιά! 

Εκτός απο τα παιδιά μας που ξεκινούν σήμερα το σχολείο, ξεκινάμε κι εμείς μαθήματα 

στο Scraps n Pieces Emporium! 

Φετος λοιπόν, πιστοί στην παράδοση μας, ξεκινάμε με ενα μάθημα scrapbooking layout, το οποίο μπορεί να παρακολουθήσει ο οποιοσδήποτε, ακόμη κι ο πιο αρχάριος που πρώτη φορά πιάνει ψαλίδι, κολλα και χαρτί! 

To scrapbooking είναι η τέχνη του να διατηρούμε ζωντανές αναμνήσεις μέσα απο τις φωτογραφίες μας, φέρνοντας τις πάντα σε πρώτο πλάνο και πλαισιώνοντας μας με εξαιρετική ποιότητας υλικά και διακοσμητικά, που αντέχουν στο χρόνο, χωρίς να φθείρουν τη φωτογραφία μας! Έτσι λοιπόν, στο μάθημα θα έρθετε με μια φωτογραφία και θα φύγετε με ενα μοναδικό έργο τέχνης, μεγέθους 30x30 εκ. με το οποίο μπορείτε κάλλιστα να στολίσετε το σπιτι σας ή ακομα και να δωρίσετε! 

Στο μάθημα θα μαθουμε όλα τα μυστικά για το πως να χτίζουμε μια αρμονική σελίδα, πώς να χρησιμοποιούμε το χρώμα, τις σφραγίδες, τα μελάνια παλαίωσης και πώς να πλαισιώνουμε τη φωτογραφία μας. 

Και το κυριότερο: θα περάσουμε καταπληκτικά! 

Ελάτε λοιπόν το Σαββατο 17 Σεπτεμβρίου στο Scraps n Pieces στον Άγιο Δημήτριο, 10:00! 

(επιλογή ανάμεσα σε λιλα, ροζ ή τυρκουαζ χρώμα)

I heart you - AJ page for Scrapki Wyzwaniowo

Hello crafty friends! 

Today I am back with another art journal page for our Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo September challenge. 

Our challenge is to use stars! Simple as that! 

I drew a heart on cardstock and then I cut small pieces for various Homegrown 6x6 papers and made a collage. I applied graphite paste over the starburst stencil as well as microbeads for extra texture. At the end I glued a photo of my sweet hubby and me on our forst summer together. Ahhh, great times... 

Visit the blog to see the brilliant creations of the design team! And remember, there are 7 dots studio products to be won! 

Kissez!!! 

Coffee Time - AJ page for More than Words

Hello friends and happy September! 

The new school year is just around the corner and I cant wait for it to start to be honest! 

BUT, new month means new challenge for us at More than Words! 

My art journal page 

My everyday DELIGHT is my coffee! I am addicted to it and I only drink coffee I make - I have the most specific recipe.  I even carry my own Nespresso machine with me on holidays. For the creative part, I opted for art RECIPE, using a die-cut from rice paper, melange pebbles instead of flair buttons, flowers, watered mist for a watercolour look and lots of micro-beads.

Our MAIN challenge is based on a word inspiration and a creative challenge.

The challenge is open to layouts, canvases and art journal pages only.

Word Inspiraton - DELIGHT

Creative Challenge - RECIPE

What does the word DELIGHT inspire you to create?

You can choose to use the word somewhere on your project 

or simply be inspired to create from it.

Please explain in your blog post how the word inspired you, if not already obvious.

Are you good in the kitchen? Well, it doesn't matter because for our RECIPE creative challenge, the cooking will be done mainly in your scraproom or craft corner!  

Please read carefully!!

On our board, you will find 2 options:

Option A is to scrap about your favorite family recipe.  

You can use whatever products you want when doing so.

Option B is to follow our "Art Recipe" which is listed on the right.

If you decide on option B, you can scrap any theme you want (as long as you are inspired by the word, of course), but you must incorporate items from the list of ingredients provided.  For example, you can choose to add a tag, a few pieces of flair, a button or two, and some mist. OR you can opt for a die cut, a badge, some flowers and lots of microbeads. No matter the combination you choose, we have to be able to taste our art recipe ingredients on your yummy creations!

So whether you share with us a special recipe as the theme of your project

or follow our own art recipe, or decide to combine both, we are looking
forward to see what you cook up! 

VERY IMPORTANT!  You have to incorporate both requirements of the challenge, the word inspiration AND the creative challenge, on your project to be eligible to win.  Just look at our designers' creations as example.  
Also, remember that you must include our board image and a link to our blog in your entry post.

Visit the blog to see the amazing creations from our talented DT! And of course, to check out the amazing prizes we have for you! 

Come and play!!! 

xoxo
