"He Is Risen" Art Journal Page by Tracey Sabella

Hi everyone. It's Tracey here to share a new project. For the past year I've been creating pages for a Scripture Art Journal using Donna's fabulous Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Denim Art Journal. I'm adding an Easter page with delicate spring colors featuring Donna's new Spellbinders® Cascading Butterflies die. 

Tips and Techniques

There is a beautiful pink/orange color in the background paper flowers that I wanted to pick up for the embellishments, so I mixed wine, pink, and gold pigment powders into a dollop of Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Girlie Grunge Art Medium and used it to "paint" the Cascading Buterflies cut from a manilla folder. They are adhered to the page with Girlie Grunge Art Medium (uncolored).

One of the great things about this die is that you not only get the Cascading Butterflies, but also get a bevy of little butterflies at the same time. I used them two ways. A few were spritzed with Mixed Berries Smooch Spritz and went back into the spots from which they were cut. Next, I stamped a couple flourished butterflies on the page with Donna's Wisteria Colorbox® Mix'd Media Inx. I colored two of the die cut butterflies with the Pigment Powder "paint" and placed them over the stamped images. I adhered the centers of the butterflies and lifted the wings for dimension.

For texture, I applied light molding paste with a stencil and spritzed with Mixed Berries Smooch Spritz and allowed the mist to dry. I had some leftover pigment powder "paint" that I spattered across the butterflies and textured areas and also spattered with white drawing ink.

The sentiment is stamped with Wisteria Mix'd Media Inx.

To add a bit of sparkle, I applied Clearsnap® Glue Gloss to the center of the grungy round images and sprinkled with Donna's Clearsnap® Pralines & Cream Twinkle Dust Glitter.

Thanks for dropping by! I hope you've been inspired to grab your Donna Salazar goodies and create a mixed media project.

Mixed Media Scripture Journal Page by Tracey Sabella

Hi everyone. It's Tracey here to share a new page for my Scripture journal. I simply adore working with Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Denim Art Journal. The extra thick chipboard pages are a dream to work with and hold up perfectly for mixed media techniques. I feature Donna's new Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Girlie Grunge Twine and Gauze along with her new wine and silver Pigment Powders.

"Be of Good Cheer"

Tips and Techniques

I created these twine flowers using Donna's new navy and aqua Girlie Grunge Twine. I'm working on a video tutorial demonstrating how to make these sweet flowers, so stay tuned! I sprinkled Donna's Clearsnap Mixed Berries Twinkle Dust Glitter onto Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® ~ DODZ™ - 3D to create these sparkling centers. The twine flowers are layered onto flowers created with Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Girlie Grunge Gauze. Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Dodz™ XL are perfect to adhere them to the page.

The sentiment is stamped onto white cardstock with Donna's Clearsnap black Mix'ed Media Inx, then edged with a blend of Donna's Indigo and Schoolhouse Mix'd Media Inx.

I adore creating my own paint with Donna's Pigment Powders and mixed up a custom aqua color by combining her blue and gold powders to brush over the gauze and resin flowers.

This metal feather charm is brushed with white gesso, then dry brushed with more of my pigment powder paint. I added silver pigment powder to the aqua to achieve this darker blue.

I adhered a few strips of a dictionary page to the background and brushed the entire page with white gesso.

I cut a couple odd shaped pieces from Donna's Girlie Grunge Gauze, which I spritzed with water and distressed. When dry I adhered it to the page for added texture. I lightly brushed with my aqua Pigment Powder "paint", then dry brushed with white gesso to soften and to highlight the textures.

Here's another shot of the gauze. 

I stenciled texture paste across the right side of the page. While it was drying, I mixed up a blend of Donna's Clearsnap Mixed Berries and Holly Berries Smooch Spritz along with her Wine and Silver Pigment Powders to create this rich wine color. Once the molding paste was dry, I spritzed with water, then brushed with the wine water color mixture allowing the color to spread and pool. While wet, I sprinkled and rubbed with blue pigment powder.

I also mixed together a blend of Sea Breeze Smooch Spritz and silver Pigment Powders which I applied at the edges of the wine color, again spritzing with water, to move and create lovely color variations as it dried.

On the left side of the page, I applied these same colors, but used a palette knife to scrape the color across the corner, spritzing lightly with water as I applied the color.

I also randomly splashed a little of the color onto the white center of the page.

I hope you've been inspired to grab your Girlie Grunge products

and mix them together to create a mixed media project.

Mixed Media Journal Cover by Elena Olinevich

Hello crafty friends.

I've got a denim mixed media cover I made recently.

I had such fun creating it.

I started with Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® blue Canvas Ribbon, that I placed on the cover and fixed it with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Crafty Power Tape on the top and hid the edges on the backside using the same tape.

After that I put the lace trim on it and fixed it with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® DODZ™ Medium only in few areas.

Later I worked on the cog chipboard, primed it with the gesso  and colored with Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Pigment Powders in blue and brown.

Then I used her Clearsnap® Fairy Dust Glitter on the top.

I love this shimmer on it.

So after I placed all the embellishments, I applied the gesso and colored those areas with the powders too.

Stay tuned for the pages I put into my journal. I will show them in my next post.

"Come Unto Me" Art Journal Page by Tracey Sabella

Hi everyone! It's Tracey here to share the latest addition to my Scripture art journal. 

Donna's fabulous products are so versatile. It's so easy to switch gears from the bold and colorful page I posted recently to this subtle and nearly monochromatic page full of rugged textures. The thick chipboard pages in Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® are fabulous for mixed media. 

"Come Unto Me"

Tips and Techniques

Donna's Clearsnap Mix'd Media Inx are so fabulous to work with. Here I've stamped the sentiment on basic white cardstock with Stormy Mix'd Media Inx, then heat set with clear embossing powder. I like to stamp first then die cut so I can center the sentiment in the die before cutting. A piece of washi tape will keep it in place. Once cut, I used my Foam Blending Tool to rub more of the Stormy ink across the die cut.

The background around the sentiment and the page edges are brushed with Donna's Clearsnap Woodstain Smooch Spritz, then spritzed with water to lighten and move the color.

I scored a vintage dictionary at our library book sale a couple months ago and used it to create one of Donna's Spellbinders Bitty Blossom flowers. It's rubbed lightly with Stormy Mix'd Media Inx to color. 

In keeping with the monochromatic look for my journal page, I very lightly sprinkled Donna's Black and Jasmine Mix'd Media Inx Embossing powder over her Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Foam Swirls and heat set. Because I used a light hand with the embossing powder, the swirls were still just a little tacky in places, so I sprinkled Donna's Clearsnap Sugar Shimmer Twinkle Dust Glitter to add a girly, sparkly touch. I also rubbed the edges lightly with Stormy Mix'd Media Inx. 

I distressed the lace after snipping off the lower edge and kept it the natural color.

I wanted a hint of textured color on my chipboard flower to draw my eye to the sentiment. I mixed Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Pigment powders into whipped spackle and dabbed it onto the chipboard with a brush to create this lovely texture. You may be thinking, Donna doesn't have green pigment powder?? Blue plus gold and a tiny bit of brown mixed together created this lovely green color. It's hard to capture in a photo, but there is a lovely shimmer on the flower and leaves from the mica powder. Once dry, I rubbed lightly with Stormy Mix'd Media ink to highlight the texture.

My background paper is from the corner of a 12 x 12" patterned paper. I just adore the textured patterns in the corner, so added similar stamping and shading around the page edge for a finished look.

I hope you've been inspired to experiment with Donna's Girlie Grunge products

to create your own one of a kind textures and colors.

"Home Is where the Heart Is" Journal Page by Misty Russell

Hi! Misty here today to share a little project I created on one of the art journal pages from Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Denim Art Journal.

For the base of this project I covered the page with a napkin and then added a thin layer of gesso and added some color with Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® blue Pigment Powder and Clearsnap Candle Glow Smooch Spritz.

 Next, I started "building" the house by cutting out shapes from pattern paper, and then I added Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Photo Corners to my roof mimicking shingles.

Then I created the door and chimney using pieces of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® - 3D foam frames stained with brown Pigment Powder.  I wanted to use the Donna's 3D swirls to create some whimsical smoke coming from the chimney and the black swirls worked perfectly with her Clearsnap Twinkle Dust Glitter to get this effect!

 To finish it all off and bring it all together, I added some stamping and gesso to all of the pieces and then cut out some words to say "Home is where the <3 is".

This was a lot of fun to make and I hope you like it too...

Thanks for stopping by, hope your having a great week!
