Thank you to all my wonderful Subscribers and Viewers of my Youtube Channel, Aussie Stampers. I have received the honour of being awarded among the Top 15 Art Journal Channels on Youtube. This would not be possible without YOU, my loyal friends and readers, who have been a part of my journey since 2012.

Thank you for all your encouragement, comments and support! You are the reason I enjoy making my videos, and I always have you in mind when doing my voiceovers....I feel as though you are right here with me as I write my blog posts or film my tutorials, or post photos of my work on Instagram.

Art Journal: Lavinia Backgrounds with Magicals Powders. Mixed Media.



My latest #youtubetutorial #artjournal upload. For this project I used my "Hand Book" watercolour art journal 6" x 6" from Global Arts . The paper in this journal is thick and gorgeous to work with.

 

 The Stamps I used were FINE FLOWERS and FINE LEAVES from #DarkroomDoor,  and the Background is from #LaviniaStamps. The butterfly and Journalling quote are from a sticker book I purchased from Spotlight (available also from American Crafts) from #OneCanoeTwo.  
  

The stamps were stamped in tuxedo Memento Black Ink , then sprinkled and spritzed with #LindysGang Magicals Powders from the Drop Dead Divas range.

Art journal : Whimsical Blythe Art in the Dyalog Backgrounds Insert.



I am having so much fun drawing these whimsical girls ! I use Express It paper, which is my absolute fave for Copic colouring. My art journal is the Dyalog Backgrounds Insert by Ranger. All the supplies are listed in the description on Youtube.
See how the backgrounds are already printed for you? This is art journalling made simple!

Colour Coordination Journalling.

Sometimes it's nice to work on a clean and simple project. I love a neat work station, and you can see from the photo that I kept the theme simple, and the colours coordinated.

I love this shell plate that I bought many years ago, and use it to store what I'm working on. Here I was using leaves, twigs, brown paper bags and Kraft tags, along with twine and soft nature coloured washi tape. This was a serene, calm project, and a very relaxing way to spend an afternoon unwinding.
Happy weekend!
