Fruitful journal page with Joy Clair

Today is a special post for Joy Clair as we are having a blog hop! We all are sharing projects using sets from Joy Clairs Color by Faith line. I chose to create another page for my faith art journal and I decided to use the set Fruit of the Spirit.

I started by stamping all the sentiment in the middle of my page before stamping the fruit. Once I was done I realized that I got a little to close with an orange to the sentiment, so I stamped it again on a separate piece of paper and rounded the corners.

Then I colored all of my fruit with Arteza watercolor markers. Once I was done coloring I added the sentiment panel to the page and lined with some gray and a thin line from a black pen. I then adhered my decorated panel to the page in the journal.

Rejoice and Blossom with Joy Clair- Art Journal page

Here is my first project ( an art journal page) with Joy Clair's first release of 2019! I'm so excited to be a part of the team for another term and I just love this set, Blossom! The sentiments are great and I was probably just a little too excited about finally having a set with Cacti in my stash... finally! ;-) You can see all the stamps here.

I started by added color to the page to create my scene. 

I then stamped the cacti on a peice of green cork paper I've had in my stash.

I then also stamped my sentiments and cacti on the background where they would go. So I didn't have to worry about the trying to not cut the needles off, when I fussy cut them. 

I decided I didn't like how flat the cacti looked, so I used some copics to add a little shading to them (as you can see the in the picture with and without shading).

To finish the project I just added my page to my little journal and dated the bottom corner!

Coffee lover blog hop- Coffee Anytime

Today is the start for the Spring and Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop! I'm so excited to be playing along with Joy Clair, be sure to stop by the  Joy Clair blog to sweet what my teamies made to play along! For my project I was inspired by bright seasonal colors as well as butterflies and flowers! I decided to create an art journal page in appreciation that I love my coffee anytime! ;-) This could be cute to do again to show all for seasons.

I used distress inks to color the back ground and spritzed with water. I then added some  beans (stamp) and stenciled on the coffee rings. I stamped the cup images on some coordinating pattern paper and fussy cut them. I then colored in the coffee with a copic and added glossy accents over it. I die cut two arrows from vellum to create the hour and minute hands, then glued them to the center.

Hope you get inspired by any of the stops along the blog and play along. The hop always has wonderful sponsors and it's fun to play along! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
