August 3T's and some July winners ...

I will be announcing our July winners shortly but first I would like to introduce you to our next edition of Tips, Tricks and Techniques for 2015 presented by our very creative team member, Deb Kupfer.

DELI WRAP by Deb Kupfer

When I created my art journal page for this month’s challenge, I had beside me a piece of deli paper.

As I worked on my page, I repeated some of the steps I had done in the journal, onto the sheet of deli paper and ended up with some gift wrap.

I did some stamping with black stazon ink on the journal page then onto the deli paper…….

Then some doodling with a permanent waterproof marker……..

Added some colour using inktense blocks (blue and mustard) and a grey gelato.  I applied one colour at a time  eg the blue sections first then the mustard followed by the grey and wiped over each section with a baby wipe.

A little more stamping with a script stamp and splatters of mist……

Putting the journal aside for a bit and working on the deli paper, I scrumpled it into a ball, straightened it out and lightly swiped the stazon ink pad over the top just to catch the top of the crumples and there was my deli wrapping paper.

Then using a chipboard owl, I traced the pieces and made 2 from patterned paper……..one for my journal page in similar colours to this month’s  inspiration art work and the other to use as a gift tag with the wrap……..

These are just so adorable Deb, I hope everyone enjoys using them on their pages.  

and now onto our July winners .....
