Scrappy Scrappy: art journal

Hello! :)

Today I am posting on the Unity Stamp blog, sharing my art journal with lots of inks, stamps, stencils and more.

At times, my mind would go blank on what to create and I find that art journals help in just testing out techniques or just going wild and just have FUN!

ScrappyScrappy: Beauty is within {art journal} #scrappyscrappy #unitystampco #stamp #smak #tcwstencil #stencil #dylusions #artjournal

I first sprayed the background with lots of Dylusions ink sprays then used some TCW stencils on it.

Then I went into happy stamping mode with Unity's SMAK kit "Happy little moments" 07/15 using some Prima chalk edgers ink.

I just love the designs and sentiments from this set!

Have a wonderful weekend ahead and scrappy on! :)

Oh yes, I am a bit behind on decorating my planner.

Weirdly this month I feel like I'm SO busy but my planner is rather empty.

So what do I do?

I do my Bible art journaling in my planner! :)

ScrappyScrappy: Trust & Lean Not #scrappyscrappy #planner #mambi #happyplanner #bible #artjournal #biblejournal #distress

I created the background with yummy Distress Paints [Broken China // Shaded Lilac] then I wrote and stamped some words using Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart & lean not on your own understanding".

I also added some chipboard stickers to the verse to add some dimension.

I am really loving this Bible journaling in my planner!

Really makes up for all the empty spaces :)

Happy Wednesday.

I am sharing this on my DT blog post over at The Unity Stamp blog and it's another Bible journalling in my MAMBI Happy Planner.

Recently I've discovered Bible Journalling and I find it's just a wonderful way to just jot down your walk with God and at the same time -- get creative and use up your scrappy stash! I've also always marvelled at those who can draw so beautifully. Just magnificent!

So since I can't draw much, Unity Stamps are just perfect for this!

And if you're not into Bible journalling, why not journal in your planner?

ScrappyScrappy: Strong, beautiful & brave - bible art journal #scrappyscrappy #unitystampco #stamp #mambi #happyplanner #distresspaint #biblejournal #artjournal

I painted the background with some Distress Paints [spun sugar, seedless preserves, picked raspberry] and stamped the images with Memento Dew Drop inks [turquoise gem, galaxy gold]. I wrote down the verse with my Micron Pigma pen when the paint has dried.

I have used the SMAK Aug 2015 kit "A little bit more" for this page.

Hope you've been inspired to stretch your stamps a little bit more! :)

Have a wonderful week ahead.

Ok. Now onto my mixed media scrappy. Here are my first 2 pages on my brand new art journal.

I've used Faber Castell Gelatos on the background and used lots and lots of Unity stamps on it. The music notes is Kaisercraft. I also used doilies to soften the look :)

Here are some close ups on each page.

Don't you think Angie Girl is just gorgeous??

I also used my brand new Faber Castel Pitt Pens to doodle on the pages. There is no rhyme or reason for this. Just some doodles .. my first one too! :)

Today is a special day. It's my last day for my Growing in Unity week, it's 50% sales on UNITY and it's a Mixed Up Media Chix Art Journal blog hop! Let's start off with the hop!

Maria is the host of this blog hop and there are lots of blog candies + giveaways to win along the way. Just remember to leave a comment on every blog along the way.

If you have just came from Lisa's blog, you are on the right track! If not, you can start from the beginning of the hop here.

So, I've only recently started dabbling into the world of mixed media and art journals. It was pretty intimidating at first as it's like a blank canvas - what do I do? Tip for all newbies like me - do not be afraid! Take risks and go with what your heart tells you to. There is no right or wrong in art. Everybody has their own style so do not be afraid to try. Once you start, you may never want to stop! :)

I made a few pages using my favorite Unity stamps with lots of paint, mist, gelatos and colors!

I gesso-ed my pages as the base then misted it with some home-made mist (using acrylic paints + water). Then I made some flowers with some pages from a book and painted them in with some distress markers. I also added some crackle rock candy on the hearts to add texture.

Here's my other pages that I did.

And some close ups.

As you can see, art journal can be anything that you want! :) Just try and see. :)

Next up on the blog hop is beautiful Gwen. Do go and send her some love!
