Journal Spread Tres Jolie Kit

Hello everyone !

Last week I showed you my Journal Cover, today I am showing my first spread.  This page was made by the Cards, Tags and more kit of course.  Check out the store there are probably some left if you want to start your own journal.

https://tresjoliekits.com/#



The 1st thing I did what choosing a card from the kit with the quote number 39 that says : 

"Feel inspired by all the colors of the Rainbow. What does your personal rainbow look like ?"

That is when I thought of kids, instantly.  I took my watercolors and started to put some on the left side and with water, I made the colors drop from one side to the other. Like this :




Once the paint was dry, I took different stamps from my stash and put them all over the spread.  I adhered the card I had chosen and added some words from the kit with cute small flowers.


I finished with some journaling about my inspiration :




I hope this will help you to be inspired and just start creating without overthinking it ! Don't be afraid to just start something and see where it takes you :)

Cards, Tags and more Kit

Hello Hello !!!

This month is really special and different.  I don't know if you saw Kim's video revealing this month's kit but I thought it was such a good idea to create a kit with a Journal that can be used on a long period.


If you want more details of this kit here is the link to the video :

Today I decided I would show you my Journal cover.  To be honest, I was scared at first because I had not touched Journaling for a very long time and I thought the inspiration would never come.  I took a few days to think about it and thought to myself : What inspires you ? What do you like ? What represents YOU ? I used my favorite colors of course :)

I went back to my old Art Journals and they really gave me ideas.  I remembered that I always started with a background like tissu paper, or old books or dictionaries.

I took some pages from the Planner Kit and adhered them with Matte Gel.  Once that was dry, I put some Acrylic Paint from my stash (Finnabair Art Alchemy Impasto MINT) using a spatula.  I used a stencil with Nuvo Mousse and the stamp from the Scrapbook Kit.

I used embellishments from previous kits and a lot of flowers from my stash.  I finished off with some words from the Art Daily Planner Sentiments.






Material used :


Prima - Art Daily 58Piece Planner Kit

All Pink Layout for Tres Jolie

Hello!

presenting today another layout from May Scrapbook Kit at Tres Jolie.

Lots of beautiful products included :


I took this wooden paper from Lemon Craft as my background and put a coat of Clear gesso first.
I used a stencil from my stash with Modeling Paste and created a design starting at the top right coming down in the middle.  Once that was dry I used watercolours , Red, Pink and Orange on the paste. I also did a few splashes here and there. 

If you remember for my first layout this month, I had kept some peaces of chipboard : I used them for this layout .  I also used some of the paper clocks and butterflies I had previously cut out.  I added some cheese cloth, flowers and Nuvo dots.  To finish, I took some White Gesso mixed with a little bit of water and did some splashes.


Here are some close-ups :


The small phrases are from the Cards, Tags and more kit.


I almost always use the vellum you can find in Prima flower packs, LOVE them :)



Also used the cute bow pin and badge.

Here is my layout :


As you probably already know, I always put a coat of Clear Gesso on all my layouts first.  The brand really does not matter, as long as it is Gesso !


After putting the Gesso I decided to use another paper on the background... so I put Gesso on that too !


Did some tearing on top and bottom, love how that looks !


I used a stencil from my stash with Crakle Paste but it can be any Modeling Paste, Heavy Gesso, Heavy Gel, whatever you have that has texture.




Once everything is dry, I can start playing with my watercolors !  I am trying to match the colors of the papers :)

I did the same thing with the Chalk included in the kit and mixing it with a little bit of water.


Here I used the chalk again but this time on the chipboard for an opaque look.


When it was almost dry, I took the same watercolor and put a little bit on the chipboard.


I really love the result ! I cut the chipboard into little peaces so they would show all around my layout. I place the peaces where I wanted them and put glue right away.


Here I decided to keep a few peaces for another layout.  On top of the chipboard, I used one of the die-cuts from a 12x12 paper and added cheese cloth. I also used the stamp from the kit on top and bottom.


I used watercolor again but on the flowers so they could be a little bit Pink.  I had previously cut out the clocks and the butterflies from the Vintage Ephemeras and used them around the photo.  Here you can see I am applying Stones with Gel Medium which I use as glue.

Here you can see the final result with the pearls :) 


Here is a title from a previous kit :
