Journals + VIDEO tutorials YouTube & Wanderlust 2016

Hello my dear friends !

Welcome all my regular visitors and those who are here for the first time :)
In today's post you will find lots photos and some VIDEO tutorials for my beloved journals.
It will be super long post so grab some tea or coffee and enjoy !:):)

For those who follow my Instagram... most of those photos are well known :)  
Here is link to my Insta! Sneak peaks and more. 
I love, love Instagram :)

I usually create at night... 
Recently my big love are coloured journals, this is how I called them. Those are full of colours, shapes and happiness.

 
I love trying out new techniques and art materials in my journals. This is a great way to experiment and simply enjoy the process.
Now I am testing PaperArtsy FrescoFinish paints. Do you know them ??? :)
I totally love them - here is PaperArtsy Facebook page if you wish to give them a follow, they also have amazing stamps !!!
Check them out - PaperArtsy Blog
Look at those amazing, amazing colours !!! You can see on my YouTube channel tutorials where I use those paints :)

I love creating in the night, somehow I have so much ideas then... maybe because it's quiet :) my little studio is like my cave... I have a big table and so much things on it... messy but I adore it, this is where I feel good.

As promised :) here are two colour pages with video tutorials !
I hope you will enjoy them both !

Spread Your Wings Academy vol.5

Hi everyone,
Breaking blank page is one of the biggest problem of every creative person. How to start ?
Common question asked by everyone.
My answer :) STICK SOMETHING !
It can be anything... Today I will show you three random examples but there is more than this !

1. MASKING TAPE

2. BOOKS PAGES

3. LEFTOVERS FROM CRAFT PAPER

Simple isn't it ? My next step would be to add some white gesso to blend in my paper elements.
And then ? Simply add some colour... your basic background is ready !

You will find few more ideas on Finnabair blog ! Check them out here !

Tear some paper and have fun !
Hugs, Marta xx

'That fear' - mixed media canvas for Lindy's Stamp Gang

Hi everyone,

Did you know that you can spray on wood ?
Todays make will prove that you don't need many art supplies to create some great looking piece.

To start with I used recycled small wooden pieces which you can find attached to the back on every new canvas. I find those elements very handy and cheap way to get some cool embellishments.

My first step was to stick few wooden bits on the back on my mini canvas.
My next step was to add some string and modeling paste.

As my focus point I added Archival Cast Heart from Prima in the centre of my canvas.
When everything was dry I started spraying my piece.

I used Neon Graffitti set. This set became my very favourite and must have set.

Here are few more photos:

Have a great creative day !
