Welcome to the blog!! It’s Shari here with a different type of Art Journal page. For the next couple of months, I will be adding to this new idea of a Circle Journal. This page started out with Canson Watercolor paper and the Simon Says Stamp Nested Circle dies. I used the largest die which is 5.5″.

I’ve been wanting to focus on some inking techniques and what better way but to cut my specialty papers as I go and give it a try! I will eventually bind these pages together with binder rings to hang in my craft space as a reminder.

The Galaxy background is one I haven’t tried yet. I thought it would be a perfect start to this new year and the new decade. I’ve used regular Distress inks for this one and I’m sure I’ll be trying this same technique with Oxides on down the road.

I hope I’ve inspired you to step out of your box and try a shape journal full of techniques along with me. Enjoy!!

Hello, all! Happy 2020! Kristina Werner here. :) Today I have a couple of cards for you featuring the Pawsome Love stamp set and coordinating dies from Simon. Plus some tips and tricks for watercolor markers, specifically Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

After stamping the animals in a waterproof black ink on Bristol paper, I used the watercolor markers to color them. Then I painted a simple striped background using the markers as well.

To finish off the cards, I diecut thin frames out of gold foil cardstock using the A2 Thin Frames dies, also from Simon. The greetings were stamped using the Pawsome Love stamp set and heat embossed using gold embossing powder.

For some added shine, I applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the hearts on each card.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the video and all the tips for painting with watercolor markers!
