Gelli Arts® Gel Printing with the Cacti Garden Printing Kit⁠ [ad]⠀ ⁠⠀ In September I had a blast with the @gelliarts Cacti Garden Printing Kit.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Gelli Arts® released three different kits this year, each box containing everything you need to create a fun gel printing project.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Hint: the kits are super gift-worthy! 😉⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Want to see me create these cards? You can find a link to the video tutorial to my bio: @marshavalk⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #gelliartsmade #gelliartsartist #gelliartsartists #gelliartsinspiration #gelplate #gelplateprinting #gelplateprints #gelprintingplate #gelliarts #gelliplate #gelliprint #gelliprints #printmaking #monoprinting #craftkit #craftkits #mixedmediacollageart #cardmakingideas #diycards #cardmakingfun #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmaking #papercrafting #collage #mixedmediacollage #collageonpaper #cactilove⁠
Paradise | This art journal spread is a workshop that I was honoured to teach twice this year.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The first time was during my first Mixed Media Café @scrap_en_co, and the second time was in Barcelona @theparadisecorner.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Both times were super fun and super special!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ When I first started with art journaling, I bought one of those dummies. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ However, I quickly found that 1. the paper inside was awful (so everything I created ended in disaster) and, 2. this made me fear the blank page.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I solved this two-part problem with a trip to the thrift store, where I found a cheap old book with good quality thick pages and lots of words.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I loved that first book so much that when I started to suspect I would run out of pages, I went on a quest for the same 1930-s book. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ And I was fortunate to find the exact book at a used-book store.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I've created in both books on and off ever since. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Over time I acquired other art journals to work in too. So funnily enough, both vintage books still have some pages to complete. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ However, with not that many left, maybe it's a good idea to finish them before the end of the year.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ That way, I can start the upcoming decade with a new forgotten book. That would be something!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠---------------⠀ Please note that I’m a @gelliarts Brand Ambassador and a @stencilgirl_products Columnist, so some of the materials used to create this spread were given to me.⠀ ⠀ #jumpstartyourcreativity #gelliartsmade #gelliartsinspiration #gelprintingplate #artjournalingforbeginners #mixedmediatechniques #markmakingart #mixedmediacollageart #paintyourfeelings #oldbookrevivalists #makesomethingnew #oldbookrevival #alteredbookart #alteredbookjournal #alteredbookpage #alteredbookartjournal #stencilgirl_products #stencilgirl #stencilgirlproducts #stencilling #stenciling #stencillove #gelliarts #gelliplate #gelliprint #gelliprints #alteredbook⁠⠀ #alteredbooks #visualjournaling⁠
Feel The Rhythm | Handmade gifts⁠ [ad]⠀ ⁠⠀ I remember that when I saw @natkalbach foam stamp release for @art_foamies this spring, I immediately thought of stamping on fabric. So that’s what I did!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I printed the fabric that I used for the inside of the bag with a small @gelliarts gel printing plate.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ When it comes to stamping fabric designs, I always like to think about what I want to do with the fabric. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This spring, I thought it would be cool to try and sew a simple tote bag.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I had never sewn a bag in my life, but with the help of a couple of YouTube tutorials, I managed very well!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I cannot believe I did not share this bag here before. I had so much fun doing the project, and I'm so happy with how it turned out.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It's a handmade gift you can still make before the holidays. I pinky swear that if I can do it, you can too!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I've got a video tutorial on how I printed the fabric on my YouTube channel. There's a link in my bio if you'd like to watch it! @marshavalk⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠---------------⠀ Please note that I created this bag as a member of Nathalie Kalbach’s Creative Squad. The ArtFoamies used we're given to me. I’m also a Gelli Arts® Brand Ambassador.⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #patternlovers #natkalbach #nathaliekalbach #natscreativesquad #craftinspo #howtocraft #diytutorial #foamstamps #artfoamies #sewingforbeginners #handprintedfabric #gelliarts #gelliartsartist #gelliartsartists #gelliartsinspiration #gelliartsmade #gelliplate #gelliprint #gelliprints #gelplate #gelplateprinting #gelplateprints #gelprintingplate #gelprintingonfabric #handmadetotebag⁠
StencilGirl® Products & Resketch Color Journal Collaboration | Ultramarine [ad]⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In February and March, I worked my way through a beautiful little Resketch journal as part of the @stencilgirl_products & @resketchbook Color Collaboration organised by StencilGirl® columnist Tina Walker (@adogslife13).⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ For this collaboration, all of the participants received a journal gifted by Resketch. I chose the 3.5 x 5-inch journal.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ To fill the journal, we were only allowed to use ONE colour + black and white. I chose ultramarine.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ And, as this was a collab for StencilGirlTalk.com, the only stencils we were allowed to use were stencils by StencilGirl® Products. All of the other materials I used were my own choice.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ If you can bear spelling errors, then you can swipe left to see a flip through of the completed journal.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This journal is part of the inspiration I used for my Creative JumpStart 2020 video. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ If you'd like to know more about the CJS2020 online mixed media event, then head over to my bio: @marshavalk. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ There's a link to more info there!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ------------------------------------⁠⠀ Please note that the journal featured in this post was gifted to me by Resketch. I’m also a columnist for StencilGirlTalk.com, so though I did not receive any compensation for participating in this collaboration, the majority of the stencils I used to fill the pages were previously given to me or purchased with a discount!⁠⠀ ⁠ ⁠⠀ #stencilgirl_products #stencilgirl #stencilgirlproducts #stencils #stencilling #stenciling #stencillove #resketchbook #bluepaint #jumpstartyourcreativity #cjs20 #cjs2020 #creativejumpstart #creativejumpstart2020 #creativesuperpower #artjournalingforbeginners #artjournaleveryday #artjournalingpractice #artjournalingideas #mixedmediatechniques #markmakingart #mixedmediacollageart #vintagecollage #creativepractice #artastherapy #gelliarts #gelliartsmade #gelplateprints #gelprintingplate⁠
