Face Pop Art

Hi everyone, I have a pop art journal page for you today. A little bit different for me, but it's been one of the great things to come from my collection, it has taken me in many different directions. It's been great journey and a pleasure to try so many new areas, I hope it will do the same for any of you who bought it as I have designed it to go will just about anything you can think of. I do like to think that some of you will do the same and try something very different to your normal style. You might follow a totally different path. I have had so many ideas of other things I would like to do with this collection, it's just such a shame we cant stretch time. This project has been great fun, you could use any one of these sections as a card for someone or just make a card in this style.

You Will Need:

Craftascope Art Media Stencil Collection Trent,Xander,Bailey and Brendan

Craftascope Dolphin Stamp Set 1

Spotty Washi Tape

Watercolour Paints

Pencil

Versafine Black Ink Pad

Copier Paper

Step 1: On your 12 x 12 Sheet or Journal Page, use Washi Tape to divide the page, Place each stencil in turn and draw around it with a pencil. For the top section I just flipped the stencil.

Step 2: Using watercolours, paint all of the faces. Then choose some really bright colours to use for the backgrounds. Next choose and stamp the words into each of the sections. You can really play with the faces and make them individual, Have lots of fun!!

Step 3: Use the stencils again with Versafine Black ink and a smoothie or phat foam to add back the lines and finish the pop art look.

I hope this has given you some ideas, it doesn't have to be the same project but elements or even the style, just another way to use the collection, which I hope you like.

Take One Stamp

Today's project is using just one stamp to create a clean and simple card for any occasion. The stamp I have used here is from the 'Beautiful Bouquet' A6 set of rubber stamps from Crafters Companion. It's a wonderful set with some amazing roses. There are other sets in the collection, which I will share as time goes on. They are a staple for your crafty stash.

Using Washi tape and copier paper, I masked off the card, then stamped my design within.

Next the sentiment was stamped onto a basic rectangle die cut. I used the same sprig/flower stamp around the corners. It's a wonderful little stamp so I can see it being used over and over again.

The flowers and leaves were then coloured using a selection of alcohol markers. Other colour choices could easily change the look completely. A set of them boxed would make a lovely gift or a good way to make some money for charity or your own crafty stash.

Here is the finished piece mounted onto a card base made with Centura Pearl cardstock. Thank you so much for visiting today, I hope to see you again soon. Take care and Happy Crafting.xx
