Mixed Media Monday ~ Be Joyful Always

Welcome back to my third installment of Mixed Media Monday.  Today's art journal page, is actually a CASE from the very talented Vicky Papaionnou, using items from her newly released collection Create Happiness.

Of course, I added my own spin to her amazing layout using these delightful, stacked teacups from the Pink Dream Ephemera pack. 

  After inking the background using Oxide Inks, I randomly stamped a very old Flora background stamp.  It's so old, I don't even remember the company that made it, but to this day, is still one of my favorite background stamps. I also did some random stenciling using Vicky's Book Stencil

I tucked a vintage post card, from Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Ephemera Pack, behind the teacups and added my verse of the day, "Be joyful always".  I added white gel pen details to the die cuts and black lines around the sentiment to make it stand out.

I can easily get lost in the creation of art journaling.  I hope you enjoyed today's creation as much as I enjoyed the process of making it.

Vicky's entire line of products are so filled with vintage beauty!  I love everything about her style.  

I've linked up many of her products below.  A Cherry On Top Crafts, carries her entire line and she just had a new release, so I hope you'll check them out.

Enchanted Garden ~ Spellbinders

Hi friends ~ I'm back today with two more cards using the Enchanted Garden die set from Spellbinders.  Enchanted Garden is part of the Winter Tales Collection that was recently released at Spellbinders.

I had cut so many flowers from each color for my last post that I just had to make more cards.

I embossed the background of my first card with an old FSJ embossing folder called Cozy Knit, but Isuka designed a beautiful embossing folder called Ski Lodge to coordinate with this set.  The puffy Peace sentiment stickers are from Christmas Puffy Sentiment Stickers.  

For this card, I added a sentiment from Layered Mix & Match Sentiments.  One of my favorite sets that you see me use often on my blog.

I like the simplicity of Scandanavian Folk Art design.  I noticed that the style uses a limited color palette, and I find the symmetry to be very organized and calming.   

I enjoyed creating both of these cards and I hope you will check out the full collection and all the NEW ARRIVALS.  While you're there be sure to check out what's COMING SOON.

Winter Tales ~ Spellbinders

Hello friends!  I'm super happy to be introducing you to one of Spellbinders amazing new releases called "Winter Tales Collection".  This entire collection is filled with Scandanavian inspired, Folk Art designs from a "new to me" designer, Isuka Marku.

I instantly fell in love with the Magical Deer die set the moment I saw it. Such a peaceful and majestic deer, don't you think?  

I embossed the background with an old FSJ embossing folder called Cozy Knit, but Isuka designed a beautiful embossing folder called Ski Lodge to coordinate with this set.  The puffy Peace sentiment and gold stars are stickers from Christmas Puffy Sentiment Stickers.  

For my next card, I really wanted to channel my Scandanavian roots, (a large part of my DNA is from Sweden, Denmark & Norway) by adding flowers from the Enchanted Garden set.  

This die set comes with 19 cutting dies and the options for creating the flowers are endless!!

I enjoyed creating both of these cards and I hope you will check out the full collection and all the NEW ARRIVALS.  While you're there be sure to check out what's COMING SOON.
