Creating fun backgrounds using handmade stamps and Brilliance ink

I love using my Brilliance Dew Drop ink pads to create amazing effects, and this one is one of my favorites. I used a simple foam stamp created myself to stamp this background and I simply love the outcome.
I used a gorgeous Rosie’s studio vellum butterfly and chipboard to decorate this card and added a few simple embellishments as a finishing touch.
Se how the colours have an amazing translucent effect that makes overlapping them perfect for added interest.

This card was created for The Wholesaler South Africa and promotes the amazing Tsukineko Brilliance ink pads in conjunction with Rosie’s Studio products.

Brilliance Dew Drop Stenciled Cards

Brilliance Dew drop ink pads are the most amazing little inks. I created some gorgeous stenciled backgrounds using Celebr8 stencils and these inks for some quick and easy birthday cards.
On top of the stencilled backgrounds I added this gorgeous die-cut element using the Couture Creations Peaceful Peonies Mini Dies – Floral Circle. I layered the die-cut on top of a punched vellum circle and a stamped sentiment using my Kaisercraft stamps and Versafine Clair ink.
I also have a video on my YouTube channel with a step x step process.

Art By Marlene Art Journal Page – May Flowers

Today I am sharing another Art Journal page using the gorgeous Art By Marlene Products. During the month of May we have a Flower challenge over on the FaceBook page so it is fitting that Flowers are the theme for the entire month. I have been playing around with interesting edges for a while and I loved how this edge turned out.

I have being loving interesting edges so this page was always going to have an edge using a flower stamp and cut out to form my edge. But let me tell you about how the background started.

I had a left-over piece of a large Prima rub-on and added bits and pieces onto my page. It had some colour on it with lots of bare space. Next I added a stenciled Art By Marlene Butterfly using navy blue acrylic paint. It didn’t quite go where I had envisioned it….
{here you can see my next paint peeking through on the edge of the paint – it adds so much interest to the page as well}

So I painted the entire page with a layer of white gesso. Enter the stamped Art By Marlene floral stamps on the edge of the page. I only added colour to the center image using a combination of watercolour paint, and alcohol markers.

I added a sentiment sticker and some final finishing touches using my scribble sticks, paint splatters and white acrylic paint.

I love how this page turned out – the stamped edge and the bright pink is my favorite part of this page, but the butterfly peaking through on the background has my heart.

I hope you are inspired by stamping some flowers on the edge of your pages and creating some interest – and remember to add layered of paint and ink and elements. Until next time – keeping on creating and throwing paint on a page. Jow x
