The makes of their DT were really inspiring and made me want to "stencil somethin'" right away....luckily I had bought a lovely Dina Wakley stencil at a sale recently and was burning to use it so this was the perfect occasion and impulse!
I also bought some 4x6 Project Life Journaling Cards to use as a substrate for some quick and rather playful projects....they are larger than ATCs (Artist Trading Cards, which I love to do, but sometimes find them too small) and definitely something between ATC and Art Journal...so combining two kinds of projects I really like!
Maybe I will put a bundle of finished Journaling Card projects together with some binding when I feel the time is right. Maybe I will alter a box to collect them in....I haven't decided yet. But I love that particular size to work on!
I created two Journal Cards that build a pair and used the stencil and the mask alongside some black china ink pens, stamping with black archival ink, washi tape, handwriting, word stickers and white Gesso, which I applied through a polka dot stencil using a palette knife.
And it was the perfect occasion to try out my new Distress Spray Stains as well! Yay!
I enter the AJC pair to the "Stencil" challenge over at The Mirror Crack'd of course. If you haven't checked out their blog and the makes of the DT, I highly recommend you do so! Maybe I will see you over there?
Hugs and happy crafting,

I enter my two art journal cards to Inspiration Emporium's "Fresh Start" challenge (as this format - alongside my resolution to focus on the "less is more" this year - means a fresh start for me too).
The black and white shaded fern looks great under the original, really makes it pop, wonderful journalling cards...like that size! wonderful Claudia! Ruth x

ReplyDeleteDas ist eine wunderbare Idee, die Teile zu sammeln und später zusammen zu binden, meine neuen Art journal books sind auch bald voll und schreien nach mehr ;-) Wieder ein wirklich toll gelungenes Paar im Nature Look, die Umsetzung mit den mask stencils ist dir super gut gelungen!

Gorgeous cards, Claudia!! Absolutely LOVE both of them!! Oh gosh, another stencil/mask set that I'm going to need this year!! XOXO-Shari
ReplyDeleteTerrific artwork, really love the way you have used the stencils with the words and washi tape. And I like the way you have used colour here too - yellow and black is a combination you don't often see. And then you used the sprays - what could be better. Love these works. Nice size too.
ReplyDeleteFabulous journal cards Claudia. Love your detailed explanation, and all the gorgeous texture you have created. I bet they are even better in the flesh.
ReplyDeleteI have had a good shufty around your blog and I am sure I shall be in touch shortly, but in the meantime thank you so much for the lovely things you said about my team!
