"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.

DIY Doily Bowls with Girlie Grunge Art Medium & Gauze

Hello my peeps! I did a video showing how to make a lace bowl with decoupaged book pages inside for a blog post for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and I decided to make a simplified version as well. I've made so many of these little bowls and now I've got a bunch of cute little Girlie Grunge containers for my studio.

Spring Floral Birthday Card by Tracey Sabella

Hi everyone! It's Tracey back to share a spring, floral birthday card featuring Donna's new Spellbinders® Flower Bouquet stamp and die set, scheduled for release next month. It was so much fun to color the stamped image with lovely spring colors using Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Pigment Powders.

I have a dear friend who's birthday falls on St. Patrick's Day. Of course she adores green on her special day, so I've used a green backdrop for the lovely stamped image.

Tips and Techniques

Donna's pigment powders can be mixed together to create a wide variety of colors. Add a little extra water to lighten and a bit more pigment powder to darken for shading.

I used wine and pink for the large rose, gold for the yellow flowers and gold mixed with pink and wine for the darker yellow flower centers and buds.

The leaves are a blend of blue and yellow.

I simply mixed the pigment powder into water to create these shimmering "paints." To keep the dry "paint" from rubbing off, I spritzed the finished image with a spray matt fixative.

It was easy to line up and cut out the stamped image with the included die. So much easier than fussy cutting!!

I've stamped the birthday sentiment with Donna's Colorbox Stormy Mix'd Media Inx.

The Flower Bouquet set includes a die for these sweet flowers. They are cut from manilla and colored with pigment powder. The sequins are adhered with a Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® DODZ™ - Mini.

The final die in this set is this sweet leafy flourish. I cut it from patterned paper and inked with several shades of Donna's Colorbox® Mix'd Media Inx.

The background script is stenciled with molding paste. Once dry, I spritzed with Clearsnap® River Mossy Smooch Spritz.

Cherish by Donna Salazar

Hello my peeps! Today I have a quick little sumthin sumthin to share with you. I made the frame in the project below quite a while ago and though I absolutely loved it I didn't have a photo in it. So, as I'm slowly but surely working on finishing up my studio, I decided to finally get this on my wall and add a little mini layout inside of it.

I used my new Cascading Circles die from Spellbinders (releasing next month!!!) to die cut the circle frame and all the little circles as well... even the photo. I painted a piece of cardboard and used my new Girlie Grunge Art Medium from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® to decoupage the frame and circles as well as the stamped Journal Words (also from Spellbinders and also releasing next month).

I then painted a thin layer of Girlie Grunge Art Medium around the inside of the frame and used a fluffy paint brush to burnish my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Pigment Powder in brown over the damp medium.

I offered to give away a couple of the new Creative Scrapbooker magazines but then had some crazy life stuff happen and didn't follow up with social media sharing so I don't think people actually knew about this giveaway. I've extended the drawing for 2 people to each win one of the new magazines until the 15th and will announce the winners then. You can find the original offer on the blog post here> Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Giveaway

All you need to do is leave a comment on the ORIGINAL blog post.

Girlie Grunge Mixed Media Recipe Holder by Tracey Sabella

Hi everyone! It's Tracey here to share my latest project with Donna's gorgeous products. I've altered this oversized clothespin as a recipe holder. Simply clip a recipe into the clothespin to keep it in plain site while cooking. I've featured Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Pigment Powders and 3D Foam Swirls along with her Spellbinders Rose Creations, Bitty Blossoms, and a layered butterfly created with her brand new Cascading Butterflies die scheduled to be released this spring.

Tips and Techniques

This sweet layered flower is cut with two of Donna's dies. The bottom layers are cut from a canvas flag in Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Pennant Set using her Rose Creations Dies. I've inked the canvas with her Denim and Indigo Colorbox® Mix'd Media Inx®. The center flower is cut with Donna's Bitty Blossoms die. I adhered the flower to the clothespin with Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Dodz™ XL. I just adore how all of Donna's flower dies can be layered to create an endless assortment of different blossoms.

Donna's new Cascading Butterflies die cuts a gorgeous outline of a whole cluster of sweet butterflies and also produces a bunch of little butterflies. I layered the smaller book page butterfly, which I inked with Indigo Mix'd Media Inx® over a slightly larger one cut from a manilla folder and inked with Butternut Mix'd Media Inx® CHOX.

Here you can see the background nicely. I adhered a piece of patterned paper to the clothespin and brushed it with clear gesso. Then I mixed Donna's Blue, Rose, and Silver Pigment Powders into Whipped Spackle which I applied to the background with a floral stencil. I misted with Donna's Caramel Latte Clearsnap® Smooch Spritz. I also added a little splatter with white drawing ink.

Here I'm wearing my adhesive on the outside by covering Donna's 3D Foam Swirl with her Clearsnap® Twinkle Dust Glitter. To darken and grunge it up a bit, I brushed on Caramel Latte and Sea Breeze Smooch Spritz.

I painted these chipboard letters with a coat of white gesso, then brushed with Donna's blue and silver pigment powders mixed with matte medium. I mixed them separately, then lightly stirred the two colors together so there would be color variations on the letters. I heat set, then dry brushed very lightly with gesso.

One final shot.

I hope you've been inspired to grab your stash of Donna's supplies

and create a girlie grunge mixed media project.
