As you already know I am a the happy member of a NEW Polish journaling group – SODAlicious. I have received my package from SODA at the begining of this week and I couldn’t resist – I just had to get to work immediately!!! The whole package was so… deLICIOUS!!! All of these journals, goodies, beautiful, inspiring graphics on the cardstocks!

I had no idea where to start… and then… I took out some „garbage” I hade brought from Paris, some instax photos, as well as some other stuff and started to create my travel journal:

masking tapes from Freckled Fawn

But I would like to start from the begining… I have to show you some SODAlicious goodies like stamps, tapes and others. I specifically arranged my photos of the journal pages in order to show you  some of the materials that I used.

Oh, and I have to show you my new ‚eiffla‚! My favourite, pink ‚eiffla’ clip! It is gorgeous, isn’t it? I bought it in Montmartre when I was strolling there with my beautiful friend Aga :* (ok, I bought two eiffla clips… and a vivid pink eiffla keychain… ok to be honest – two keychains 🙂 I looooove these little ‚eifflas’!!!

Hello my readers! I came back from Paris and I am filled with inspiration and energy of this incredible city (once again!). So let’s start and… talk about colour inspiration. How about taking colors entirely from a specific photo? These are from my son’s birthday photos. A lot of white and a little bit of red and a few splashes of different blues.

I made this layout for LilyBee design team, here is my post on LB blog >>> HERE.

I used two of the latest Lily Bee collections: Handmade & Double Dutch. The base paper comes from Buttercup Collection.

I also used French Lace Doilies from Freckled Fawn.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

Anne-Marie a Paris

Wish you a beautiful upcoming week my dearest! I’ll be back soon 🙂

texture base :: tutorial

Welcome everybody, today I  propose an uncomplicated, magical game where you create multiple, colourful textures that will form a wonderful base for a layout.

 

 

a. At the beginning of your work prepare a bright base (it might be ordinary, white cardboard; I used Stationery Linen paper from the newest Hand Made Lily Bee Design collection),  some flour, some masking tape and some photos. Arrange an initial compostion of your work on the base.

 

b. The first texture. Stick vertical and horizontal strips of masking tape on a chosen part of the base.

c. The second texture. Place the mask (Prima Marketing flower mask) on the base, then cover it with gesso or white, thick acrylic paint.

 

d. The third texture. Glue the photos onto a scrap of natural, bright canvas.

 

e. The fourth texture. As soon as the texture created with gesso is dry and the fabric is glued, proceed to painting these surfaces. You may do it using either acrylic paint or watercolours. I applied Talens Ecoline paint and some bright fabric paint.

 

f. The fifth texture. When the paint is dry, pilfer a couple of your child’s crayons in order to use them to make some scrawls of various shades.

 

On thus prepared background glue a title and include black journaling – to introduce some contrast. Add some paper details and your work is ready!

 

Have fun experimenting with texture layers.
