The Stencilfied Journal | Prompt #7: Stencil a page. Rip it out of your journal. Rip it up. Put the pieces back in your journal.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The prompts for this challenge are getting crazier by the week. And I love it!⠀ ⠀⠀ This week I started with randomly stencilling some of my favourite @natkalbach designs for @stencilgirl_products onto the pages, using my 3" x 5" @gelliarts gel printing plate and a selection of StazOn inks.⠀ ⠀ I also stencilled the right page of the next empty spread. Then I (carefully!) ripped out the right page of this week's spread, revealing the next page.⠀ ⠀ I tore the ripped-out page into strips before partially piecing it back together again on the exposed page that was behind it.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Finished the pages with wax crayon scribbles and two images I cut out of a magazine.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Stencilfied Journal is a StencilGirl® Collaboration Challenge hosted by the fab @adogslife13. From June through September she's sharing one 'Wreck this Journal'-esque prompt a week (16 in total). ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ If this sounds like something you'd enjoy too then grab a notebook and please join us!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ------⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please note that though I am a @stencilgirl_products columnist and some of the stencils I used for this journal page were generously given to me by @natkalbach over the years, this is not a sponsored post! I'm participating in this collab because I think @adogslife rocks and the challenge is a lot of fun!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thestencilfiedjournal #stencilgirl #stencilgirlproducts #mixedmedia #artjournaling #stencils #tsukineko #stazon #artjournaleveryday #jumpstartyourcreativity #artastherapy #GelliArts #GelliPlate #Printmaking #Printmaker #Monoprinting #AddictedToGelli #gelliprinted #gelliprinting #gelliprints #gelliprint #gelprintingplate #nathaliekalbach

Sunny Season | Last Thursday we drove to the coast for a beautiful day at the beach, and I could not resist taking a photo of one of the summer postcards I created for @gelliarts recently.⠀ ⠀ These 4" x 6" postcards are something you can gel print while on vacation or during a summer weekend getaway. ⠀ ⠀ All you need is the Gelli Arts® Stamping & Printing Kit, a ballpoint pen, blank notecards and a couple of wax crayons!⠀ ⠀ Curious to see the tutorial? There's a link to the video in my bio!⠀ ⠀⠀ And don't forget to share your prints with @gelliarts using #SunnySeason. You'll be entered to win a $25 Gelli Arts® Gift Card! Drawing 7/31/18. ⠀ ⠀ #GelliArts #GelliPlate #Printmaking #Printmaker #Monoprinting #AddictedToGelli #gelliprinted #gelliprinting #gelliprints #gelliprint #gelprintingplate #summerpostcard #summerpostcards #besidetheseaside #beachlife #littlestoriesofmylife #myseasonalstory

From the backyard | The prize for the best performing plant in our backyard has to go to the Passiflora this year.⠀ ⠀ It’s blooming and producing fruit like we’ve never seen before!⠀ ⠀ #growyourownflowers #thesimpleeveryday #botanicalpickmeup #acornerofmyhome #littlestoriesofmylife #simplethings #nothingisordinary #passiflora #uiteigentuin #groenevingers #wildforflowers #seeingthepretty #ajoyfulsummer #momentsofmine #floral_perfection

The Stencilfied Journal | Prompt #6: Stencil a page. Poke holes in the page.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now here's a technique I hadn't used in forever: Pin pricking. ⠀ ⠀ Are kids still doing this? It's fun but also a bit time-consuming. Or maybe that's the whole point. It certainly keeps them occupied for more than 3 seconds!⠀ ⠀ The page spread was stencilled using the @stencilgirl_products stencil 'Diamonds and Triangles Small' by Andrew Borloz (@cooknfold), and @paperartsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics in Caribbean Sea, London Bus, Orchid and Zesty Zing.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Next, I traced the outlines of the stencilled pattern and added hatching and shadows before I attacked the page on the right with a paper piercer. ⠀ ⠀ I adhered the page with the pin pricked windows to the Orchid painted one behind it. I also decided to add a bit of texture by glueing some of the leftover inner pieces on top of the stencilled design.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Stencilfied Journal is a StencilGirl® Collaboration Challenge hosted by the fab @adogslife13.
