Let Love Grow with LDRS Creative

When I saw the Let Love Grow stamp set from LDRS Creative, I fell in love with this beautiful set.  She's a stylish girl with attitude!  Such a beauty, don't you agree?  I set out to make this lovely card, building a garden around that beautiful girl.

Although I envisioned a pretty garden card, this set is designed to be the perfect addition for your art journaling journey.

I used a variety of coloring implements, using watercolor pencils, and mixing and matching my Marvy Le Plume brush markers, using a water brush with colors swiped on a craft mat.

I love the papers from LDRS Creative and used several from the Pretty Perfect collection and the Sweet Pea collection.  These are not flimsy papers wither.  Very sturdy and perfect for cardmaking.

Art/Devotion Journaling with TPD Stamps

I've got another fun project for you that features the newest release from Two Paper Divas Stamps.   This project is a page that I created from my devotion journal, using the Journal It! 1 stamp set as well as those pretty flowers from the Sunshine and Smiles stamp set.

I began by using a measured piece of designer scrapbook paper and applying some white gesso, to make a nice surface for my stamped images.  All of my coloring is with Tombow Dual Brush markers.

I also added a little hand lettered word, "Mercy" to tie into my devotion theme. 

The sparkly flowers were hard to capture so here's a blurred photo that I took to show some of the Stickles glitter glue that I added to my flowers.

Finally, here's my scrap paper that I ran through my Xyron Creative Station for edge to edge coverage on my page.  With the leftover sticker backing, I laid a strip of washi tape and cut it in half, to use as a nice edging for the bottom of my page.  I save all my sticker paper backings and you should to.  They come in handy for so many things.

Altered Art Journal and New Release at TPD Stamps

It's day two of the new stamp release from Two Paper Divas and I've got a pretty altered art journal for you today that features 3 of the new stamp sets; those sweet birds from "Stuck on You", Doodle Alphabet and Journal It!1.  I'm super excited that TPD is introducing fun journaling stamps, also perfect for Bible Journaling!  Be sure and visit the TPD site to check out all of the journaling stamps as I'm only featuring one today.

I'll have a full supply list at the end of this post but primarily I'm including a few key "ingredients" in making this art journal; DecoArt Multi-Surface Satin Paint, 28 Lilac Lane Embellishment Kit, DCWV papers, Bo Bunny shimmer spray.

First, I painted my journal in 2 layers of white paint.  When dry, I added my DCWV tissue paper, covering both sides with Mod Podge and sped up the drying process with my heat embossing tool.  Next, I used my Tim Holtz Crackle stencil and painted another layer of white over my stencil.  Cover with Mod Podge and dry.

To make the gold, shimmery birds, I took my Bo Bunny shimmer spray and added a few droplets on my craft mat, spritzed with a little water and stamped my birds into the mix, then stamped onto my journal.  Blot with paper towel as needed.  Leaves a gorgeous shine!

My sentiments were stamped with Colorbox archival ink and I touched up my birds and the word, "Joy" with my mix of white and neon blue paint.  I hot glued all my embellishments, including the ribbon, and embellishments from 28 Lilac Lane which included those buttons and sequins.  I carefully sealed my birds and sentiments with one last swipe of Mod Podge to make them waterproof.

I'm so happy with how this turned out!  I plan on using this as a devotion journal.  I hope this inspires you!  If you've been thinking about creating your own art/devotion journal, it takes a bit of time but it's so worth it.
