Fun With FabScraps - Wild Beauty Collection

Hello, my friends!

I have some fun new FabScaps Projects to share with you today!

Today I have two projects using the gorgeous C101 Wild Beauty Collection.

First up is an Art Journal page. 
Again, as with all my FabScraps posts, I'll share the pictures,
followed by the written tutorial. 

Here's the finished page:

Here's the Tutorial:

WILD BEAUTY COLLECTION
Peacock Art Journal Page

Nancy Nickel

For this project you will need:

·       FabScraps Wild Beauty Collection Paper Range C101 006

·       FabScraps Wild Beauty Card Kit MC101 001A – One Pink Peacock Page

·       FabScraps Wild Beauty Stickers ST101 001

·       FabScraps Stencil C101 DS081

·       Art Journal of Choice (Dylusions Square Creative Journal in Black)

·       Ink of Choice in Pink and Purple (Distress Oxide Ink is best on black)

·       Gel Pens – Pink and Purple 

·       Stickles – Star Dust 

Instructions:

1.    On left side page, ink stencil using medium of choice, as shown in photo.

2.    From C101 006, tear (or cut) around large pink peacock image, and small purple peacock image. Also, tear the peacock image from the 6 X 6 peacock page from the Card Kit. I prefer to tear these over cutting them, as it leaves a nice soft edge when adhered to the journal.

3.    Now adhere all the peacocks in place, as shown in the photo. Score the images where they sit in the crease of the journal.

4.    Using gel pens, apply stitch marks around the peacocks. Do any other doodling you choose.

5.    Take the ticket stickers from the ST101 001 Sticker Sheet, and apply them to white cardstock. Trim out leaving a narrow white border. Apply in place, as shown in photo.

6.    Apply Stickles to the images, as shown in the photo. Enjoy!
