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.

Joy Clair Mardi Gras hop

 Today we are showcasing some Mardi Gras projects over a Joy Clair! Everyone made anything but a card, be sure to stop by and check out the fun projects! I used the set Unashamed to create a fun little banner using the mask images.

I stamped and colored the images before fussy cutting them, since there was only 5 it didn't take long. I then tied them together and hung them between to shish kabob sticks. They would be super cute in a bigger flower pot or on top of a cake for decoration!

When I rise with Joy Clair

I've got a lot of Joy Clair posts this week, but this the last one... for this week anyway! ;-) Today I'm using the new set Rise and Shine. Instead of making a card I decided to decorate a little scene for a little shadow box frame! Be sure to visit the Joy Clair blog here for all the details!

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!

Joy Clair NEW release and Blog Hop!

It's a new month and time for a release blog hop for Joy Clair! You should be coming from Martha's blog if you are hopping in order, if not and you want to start at the beginning click here!



 Stop by the Joy Clair blog to see all the inspiration and the new sets! There are many wonderful new sets to ogle! For my post I'm show casing God's Masterpeice, I love this set!!! 

Aren't the images and sentiments awesome!

I stamped the bricks first and then sentiment. I used copics to color the sentiment so that each letter had gradient color and a few of the bricks in the back ground. Then stamped the splatters in various colors. 

I stamped the artist and colored her with copics as well, adding some color to the paint palette as well, before fussy cutting her. I adhered the panel to the card base. Then I adhered the artist using foam adhesive to pop her up a little.

Let's start the fun with the creativity and remember that we always have prizes for our readers and visitors that comment HERE in our corporate blog and in ALL the designer blogs during the hop.
