Art Journal : Crafty Cardmakers - Challenge #238 "Here Comes Summer"

Hello lovelies,

It's an amazing month to join us at Crafty Cardmakers as this time challenge theme is "Here Comes Summer". 

As usual anything you care to enter is fine, a card, tag, ATCs, scrapbook, mixed media piece, layout, home decor piece and art journal, as long as it meets the theme.

Here is my art journal with lovely and summery colours. I have used gorgeous shades of Lindy's Stamp Gang - magical shakers along with mixed media supplies from Prima Marketing Inc - Finnabair and sentiment from Tim Holtz Idea-Ology. I have used CrafTreat stencil and Mudra stamps for giving some textures and effects. 

Step by step process:

1. First prepare the page by covering it with white heavy gesso and dry it.

2. Spray some water all over the page and use Lindy's magical shakers (Yodeling Yellow, Lederhosen Laurel and Guten Tag Teal) to create colourful background. Dry it again. 

3. Use stencil (leaves) to create some texture and after drying, do some background stamping as well.

4. Now partially splatter two shades of Lindy's starburst sprays (Hi Maintenance Magenta and Drop Dead Gorgeous Green) to colour some die cut flowers. 

5. Then decorate the page using coloured die cut flowers and use a sentiment from Tim Holtz as well.

6. At the end use black Uni-ball pen for outlining some elements and it's done.

I hope you will like it.

I hope that you are inspired by this month's challenge too. Please join us for this fun challenge and we can't wait to see your lovely creations.

Thanks so much for visiting and leaving lovely comments on my creation. It makes me so happy and I really love reading your comments.

So much love
