Hi
everyone, June is the month of Black and White and it's great time with
the winter months upon us to sit down and have some art time for
ourselves.
I
have a fantastic group of crafty friends who I love going to retreats
with and occasionally we get to have fun taking photos in one of those
fun photo booths. In this photo you can see I was having a blast with my
besties Fiona Paltridge, and Imagination Designs DT member Natalie May.
I
rolled black acrylic paint onto a piece of white cardstock 12"x12" with
a brayer and when dry used a makeup sponge loaded with white acrylic
paint over our triangle stencil. The train track chippie was cut up into
thin long pieces and painted black as well as the circles and diamonds
chippie. The photo was placed on layers of black and white printed and
stamped papers and circular phrases from a small paper stack from my
stash. The page was finished with the title made from #awesome and small
alphabet chippie painted black and of course some white splates.

I haven't make cards for a while and my stocks are getting low so I thought would make one to share with you.
On
a folded piece of card stock I placed some black and white acrylic
paint on opposite sides and using a brayer to cover the card front.
While it was drying using my new Dina Wakley stamp set and archival
black ink I stamped an image onto another piece of white card stock
adding a flesh pink watercolour wash to add a touch of colour to my
card. The chipboard was covered with black acrylic paint and I used the
stencil with white and black on opposite sides of the card. I layered
black and white printed or stamped papers and black chipboard under the
cat person. The crosses were traced with white correction ink and the
edge of the card were finished off with a black ink drawn frame. All
cards need a phrase, I chose a great quote from the amazing Dr Seuss.

The
last piece I'd like to share is another 12"x12" layout. This one
pictures my youngest daughter, the striking contrast between the black
and white was perfect to complement the photo.
The
main section of this pieces was placed on a A4 piece of white
cardstock. I used a brayer to spread black acrylic paint across the page
and then placed a Kaszazz sketchy face stamp into some acrylic paint
and stamped black onto one side of the black section and white onto the
black section. I traced the white section with white correction ink and
more of the black paint to cover the #selfie chippie. The hexagons and
cross hatch chippie were painted with acrylic white, I then stamped some
black script over the hexagons.

Hope you were inspired by the different ways to use the Imaginarium Designs Chipboard and new stencils. Happy creating.
