A very warm good morning to you all. Hope everyone is doing fine.

Welcome back to Scrapping4fun Challenge and this fortnight our theme for the challenge is

And our lovely sponsor for this fortnight is Love From Lizi

I have created an double page art journal again. These days art journal has became my stress busters. 

First I gave a coat of white heavy gesso on the base. Next I took tissue napkins in pastel floral design and tear it out according to my plan. Using decoupage matt glue I adhered the tissue napkin on the journal pages, next blended the napkin edges with little heavy gesso. Now I took my new colours to do little experiment, wanted to see how it will look on art Journaling. I added Metallic Gouache on the white space and blended it with the napkin. To add visual impact, I did stamping using script stamp set and Distress Archival ink. To add more texture I fussy cut a rose Decoupage paper and adhered it on the page. Next I added few circles using Brustro acrylic markers and added handwritten sentiment on it to finish it off. 

Hope you all liked it. Please do leave feedback so that I can improve myself more.

Tribal Tribes

Hello  my lovely crafty friends, Welcome back to my blog.

A very warm good morning to you all, hope everyone is doing fine and staying safe. 

Today I'm sharing an art journal spread and I enjoyed very much while doing it. I created it using Tribal theme. 

Here I have used my brand new Dylusion Small art journal. First I coloured my background using Distress Carved Pumpkin and Mustard seed inks and to apply the colours on my background I used Tim Holtz blending brushes, which gives very smooth finish. Next sparkled few water on it to give little texture, next I stamped at few place using Craftangles script stamp and Walnut Stain Distress oxide ink. When i comes to create background I can't stop so I took a tribal stencil from iCraft and carved pumpkin ink and started to add it on my journal. I wanted something back on my focal image so I took another iCraft mandala stencil and started doing ink blending using walnut stain oxide. Now I started gluing my tribal images on that. Finally I added my quote on it and highlighted over images and on my quote. Gave walnut stain oxide on the border to enhance it.

Here are few close up pictures of it,
