Unlock Your Dreams by Tracy Jackson

Good morning Bee Arty fans...

Today I wanted to do something a little different. I wanted to play with a paper range and one stamp.

 

I decided the amazing Time Flies collection was yelling at me to play with so I have an art journal page to show your this week featuring just its amazing paper range and in a fortnight I will be back to show you a card using the same paper range.

So to start with I loved this image the moment I saw her. She was a little bigger than I first thought, maybe a little to big for a card, but perfect for an art journal. You can find this sheet called Time -  Cut and Colour

I coloured her in copics and pencils - picking up the colours that the collection is in.

This paper she is on was a pleasant surprise, it was a dream to work with alcohol markers on

Image done - time to work on background.

I teared and glued paper called Dream down. but not before cutting all the edges that looked like rivets as I wanted these to frame the art journal.

Using stamp called Metal Plates I roughly stamped here and there. I didn't want it perfect, none of my art journals have perfectly stamped backgrounds.

I then fussy cut elements from Time Flies collection pack

After moving the elements around several times and finally deciding on final placement I glued them down

I did using a little bit of Mica Powder - Leather, to make everything pop a little, but you cant really see it in the photos. I hope you have enjoyed looking through my step by step and it has given you some inspiration to give something similar a go.

Until next time... Happy crafting
