Mini note cards for Pink and Main

Hi,

this is my last blog post as a part of Pink and Main design team.  I want to to thank you for your all lovely comments. I hope you will be fan of Pink and Main forever!

For today I decided that I will make something special, small note cards. Sometimes you just want to make small note for somebody. This is the right time to make note cards with me. You will need just white card stock to create base – make any size. Than blue card stock for waves – use Waves Border Dies. Stamp your fish – Narwhals, die cut it – Narwhals dies. Colour it – I used Zig watercolour markers. Stamp your note inside prepared foled note card. Glue waves but leave opening at upper side to make pocket for fish. Do not glue fish just put it inside wave. So your note card will be very playful.

Art Journal for Canvas Corp Brands

Hi, I would like to share with you super easy art journal. I want to show all beginners that you do not need tons of mediums to make nice colourful art journal. Just take some paints, old brush and you can create.

Products used:
Tattered Angels High Impact – White, Light Blue, Aqua, Navy

Derwent acrylic markers
Tim Holtz stickers
old brush, piece of foam, stencil, heat tool

  • With old brush apply different paints, you do not need to apply gesso as first layer. Just apply paints.
  • Make with old brush straight moves, mix light and dark paints.
  • With piece of foam apply through stencil two darker paints. After each step use heat tool to dry project.
  • Take some of your favourite stamps, black ink and stamp lightly background, just here and there.
  • With black and white acrylic marker make border.
  • Glue stickers and make stitched lines around them. And that is all. Easy simple fun.

Have a nice day

Art Journal for Canvas Corp Brands

Hi, Kate Dachovska here. I would like to share with you my mixed media tutorial for art journal. I had that quote sticker – It`s The Little Things That Make Life Big – for quite a long time in my stash and I had no idea how to use it. But as usual, inspiration comes from unusual places – when I was doing my first gardening after winter, and idea of a background came to me; it is not a complicated project but it needs some time to play with all the mediums.

Materials used for the page:
Canvas Corp The watercing Can: Birds and Bees on Ivory Paper
Canvas Corp Spring showers: Butterflies on Ivory Paper
Scraps of various Canvas Corp Kraft papers
Tattered Angels Simply Sheer – Army Green

Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist – Woven Burlap, Dijon, It`s Brown
Architextures Parchment Rub-On – Grow
white gesso, 3D matte gel, plaster paste, watercolour pencils, art journal block
brush, spatula, stencil, heat tool, paper trimmer, scissors

Apply white gesso all over your art journal page. Dry it with heat tool.

Glue different stripes of paper, make background as you like. Do not cover whole page.

Lightly cover paper stripes with gesso, dry it.

Apply structure paste over your favourite stencil. Just here and there. Dry it.

Apply colours, use any kind of Tattered Angels sprays. I love Glimmer mists and Simple sheer sprays.

Decorate edges of paper stripes with watercolour pencils and lightly use water brush to activate watercolour.

Instead of stamping, use Parchment Rub-on to decorate background. Very lightly cover some of them with white gesso.

Glue different insects and birds over art journal, use 3D matte medium.

With watercolour pencil highlith edges of insect. It is not necessary step but it looks nice.

Make white splatters, glue quote sticker and highlight frame around sticker.

Have a nice day
