Same but Different... A funny AJ page and its tutorial!

Helloooo, it's my turn (Coco) to show you what I've made with the new 'Flexistrips - Grass' product...
This new product is thinner than chipboard but thicker than card, and also very flexible so it can easily be used on 3D projects, like Karen showed you beautifully just before me this week! Today, I chose to put it simply as a gorgeous embellishment on an Art Journal page, it is a quite funny page, hope will will like it as much as me... I have also a tutorial for you on this piece, click on the first image below for the link.

Apart the Flexistrips - Grass product into focus, I used several Tando's masks and chipboards on this project. I had a great fun to play with all my Tando goodies, they are really perfect to create and embellish AJ pages...  This page forms a charming combination with a previous page on the left side of my Journal, it was a bit fairy-tale page, you will have an insight into it at the end also... Hope this style of whimsical AJ pages will make you smile and inspire you! :D 

My background is made using various Panpastels as a base for other mediums, acrylic paint here and there and a bit of metallic gilding wax on the leaves and the edges... All my textured leaves are created with my new Tando mask 'Long Flourish', this one is so BEAUTIFUL!! The three different leaves you can create with it are really gorgeous. I also played with the new released mask 'Bullseye' (another new great one!!) for the central image, combined to a Stampotique stamp having by chance similar design. I was a bit inspired by the English fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk" everyone knows I think... even in France haha!  

Here are some photos, but you will find all the details, photos and needed supplies enclosed within the how-to file I made for you, to download a PDF with full instructions, click on the picture below.

BOO!!!!!!!

Hello!  I have an assortment of Tando leaves & bits & pieces and I have used them on this 4x4inch canvas.

I used the leaves mask for the background.  Except for the mushrooms, which are just painted, I have used glossy accents & then dropped alcohol inks into it.  I only used one colour for the leaves but I love the way it has come out all mottled.  Behind the leaves is a scalloped frame, which is part of a set and very handy to have in your stash, as are the leaves!

Don't forget the New Challenge is up for April...the link is on our sidebar.

Thank you for taking a peep today, Hugs, Karen x

Squirrels and fabric?

Hello, I have been playing with fabric again.  It really is as easy as using paper, as long as it doesn't fray too much!  I have covered one of those really cheap little photo albums for my sister using the ~Squirrel Woodland Set~, which is gorgeous!

Its all fabric, apart from the glittered acorns :-D  Here is the whole set...aren't those mushrooms cute? I have saved those for another day!

Thank you for taking a look, please leave a comment as we love to see them, HUGS, Karen x
