Adrenaline Rush..... for Scrap FX

Hi everybody, thanks for joining me here. Today I'd like to share my latest layout...

"Adrenaline Rush"

I was in a real "painty mood" when I was creating this layout... so I began with just a white cardstock and some paint... everything is a canvas right?? anyway a bit of abstract design and bam! one unique background for my layout... I tried to convey the rush of speed I feel riding, especially on my Harley with an open faced helmet... nothing compares to that adrenaline rush... hence the title lol...

I painted the title "Adrenaline Rush" to match the background colours.... gave it a bit of an ombre look... love this new title and just perfect for my riding photos...

I added the new cranks chippies.... these are nice detailed cogs and come in several different sizes for all your "coggish" is that a real word? needs... these are from the cranks small pack...

Here's a last look at the whole page...

that's all from me today...  thanks for visiting...

till next time

Whale of a Tale..... for Art and Soul Studio

 Hi everyone, I'm back with you today to share my latest piece for Art and Soul Studio, an intuitive painting "Whale of a Tale"  that I created using the Fluid Media paints from DecoArt....

haha.... did you get my little funny in the title... I know I know it was lame... but the play on words tickled my funny bone.... anyway as the piece says... "always remember to have a whale of a time!"

When I sat down to make a piece for this blog post, I had no idea what to paint... so I started as I always do if inspiration is lacking, and put some colour on paper, and let it just happen... and this was the result today... hope you like it...

I made a little process speed video so you can see how this intuitive piece came together...

Here is the video...

Weird Peeps.... for Scrap FX

Hi Scrap FX fans, thanks for joining me here.... today I have an Art Journal spread to share with you all... "Weird Peeps"

So this art journal spread, didn't end up anything like I originally planned.... I was planning on doing an abstract type design showcasing the new awesome foam stamps... but as I was stamping the background the stamp placement looked like weird little peeps... so I went with the flow and decided to make it all about the weird peeps instead...

So for my weird peeps bodies I used the new Boxed Stamp can't you just see the stubby little arms and stubby little legs...

for their heads I used the Radiant Circles Stamp, I really love the detail in this stamp... all those inner detailed circles and lines...

for the eyes I used last months release, the Circle Marks Stamp, it has four stamps in one,

so my peeps could all have different size and pattern eyes...

Here's some close ups of their heads and eyes...

for added texture on my background I used the new Round to Square Stencil...

I finished off the spread with the She Stamp and some random text stamping...

one last look at the total spread...

I hope you enjoyed my weird peeps as much as I did creating them... till next time

Happy Creating
