My Heart . . . For ArtStacks and Art Journal Journey Monthly!

 Hi everyone!  I am here today sharing my latest project that I made for ArtStacks!

Did you know that ArtStacks has new releases? Yes, they do, and they are fabulous!

They have two new Artist Series packs by the renown artist, Birgit Koopsen.  

"Birgit is a printmaker, mixed media artist, teacher, produce designer and content creator. Her love of colour is obvious in her bright, happy work!"

Birgit has created two new ArtStacks packs. 

Her first pack is titled ‘Essential Elements’ 

Birgit’s second pack is called ‘Forest Walk’

Head over to ArtStacks to see everything that is included in these incredible packs!

Here is the mixed media scrapbook page that I made:

I felt so nostalgic creating this page using a photo taken of me with my family at Jacobsberg Park back in 2017. It holds a special place in my heart, especially since it’s where we used to go on our daily ‘Forest Walks.'  It feels just like it was yesterday. 

Jacobsberg Park will always be thought of as home because it was the perfect place to escape when we needed a break from the hustle and bustle of life. 

I used both of Birgit Koopsen’s new Artist Series packs from ArtStacks to make my page.  I highly recommend them!

I hope this scrapbook page has inspired you to create one of your own!  

I am also linking my page up to March's theme at  Art Journal Journey Monthly:

The month of March is hosted by Erika from BioArtGal. Her theme is "Home Sweet Home."  She says:  "Your project can be about your own home if you want.  Remember, there are many types of homes.  You can also think about things inside a home or even what makes a home.   . . . Just make sure your page relates to the idea of home."

I enjoyed making my page about my family and our walks at Jacobsberg park, which always feels like home to us!

I hope you get a chance to join in on the fun at Art Journal Journey Monthly this month!

Thanks a bunch for stopping by my blog today. I hope you have a happy March!

Friends . . . for ArtStacks!

Hi everyone! I am up on the  ArtStacks' blog today!

 

I created a mixed media canvas using Shana Bebeklis’ Full Deck pack: 

their Wings and Things pack:

and their Tissue Backgrounds pack:

I decided to make a canvas this month, because I want something to display on a wall in my craft room:

I started by watercoloring and stamping my canvas.  I used the tic-tac-toe background from the TISSUE BACKGROUNDS pack for part of the background. Next, I adhered the gorgeous flower image from Shana Bebelkis’  FULL DECK pack. I framed this stunning image with a wooden frame (that I embossed in white) from my stash.  If you look closely, you can see that I popped some of the flowers, too.  Next, I added a sentiment about friends (taken from the WINGS AND THINGS pack) to the bottom of the frame.  I continued to embellish my frame with leaves, hearts and a flower, all from the FULL DECK pack.  Please note, the leaves are hand-drawn images(by Shana) printed on mixed media paper that I colored myself using water-color markers.  Finally, I adhered  the hearts, mushrooms, a butterfly, and sentiments; all from the same FULL DECK pack, to complete my mixed media project.

I enjoyed making this project using Artstacks products and hope that I inspired you to create one, too!
