Hi all! I hope you are all well!! We have had a fun week of summer activities. We are trying to swim in as many lakes as possible in the vicinty. It's a lot of fun and every lake has its own special character.
This week at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog we have a Tape It Up theme and since it is the first Monday of a new month, the team is showcasing the products by a specific company / designer. The turn has come to Jane Davenport who has a fabulous range of mixed media products. You don't have to use Jane's products to join, but it is always fun if you do.
Our August guest designer is the wonderful Anne Redfern. Her blog is full of creative inspiration, and I hope you will stop by there.
I made a playful and kind off unplanned journal page this week, focusing on Jane's gorgeous washi tape. I really like the colors, watercolor look, and words on the tape. The flowers and scribbles were drawn with her Inkredible pen. The page was done in my Jane Davenport 9 x 6 Mixed Media Canvas Cover Journal, which has watercolor pages.
For the background I used Paper Artsy's Infusions. Mist the page with water, sprinkle on a little bit of infusions and mist again to blend more.
I selected a mix of Strips and Phrases Washi and Strips and Phrases Journal Mixed Media tapes, with different colors, faces and words.
I wasn't quite sure what to do next and started to doodle flowers and some words with Jane's pretty Inkredible pen and teal ink. You can use different colored ink cartridges in the pen. The doodling and handwritten words fitted well with the 'put you into your art' sentiment on one of the tape pieces.
More pretty tapes and messy doodles.
It is fun to mix and tear pieces of the tapes and arrange on a page, and very quick too.
The dandelion hair of this woman is stunning and such a fun idea.
I hope you will join us this week in our Tape It Up challenge. As always, you have a chance to win a $50 gift voucher to do some fun shopping at Simon Says Stamp. You have until next Monday 8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in.

Your journal page is just the epitome of Jane's wonderfully colourful products, I especially love the washi tape, the lady with the flowing hair is my favourite part and the PA Fusions are a perfect match!

ReplyDeleteWhat an absolute treat to see you use these types of supplies! I love how it has a light Summery feel and has so much color but without being crazy. It made me want to run through a field of wildflowers! It's delicate and lovely and vibrant. Really pretty!

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful Journal page. You are so versatile this pretty page is so different from the Tim Holtz grunge you do so well but equally impressive and inspiring. Thanks for sharing your talent and imagination. x
