art journal prompts Week 1: My Word for 2017

I'm working in a totally random order to catch up with these weekly prompts from 'art journal prompts'.  This is the third that I've completed of the ten set so far this year, but if I work on two a week for the next seven weeks, I will have caught up.  With this in mind, and my determination to craft and share daily this year, I chose the word 'Create' as my word for 2017.

Side stepper - Purple Peonies

I created the base of this card from scratch so it took me a couple of goes to get it exactly as I wanted it.   

I laid out a sheet of A4 purple card (297mm x 210 mm) in front of me in the portrait position and drew a line all the way down the right hand side;  6.5cm from the right hand edge of the card.  From the top, I then measured down 3.3cm, 6.6cm and 18cm, and drew 3 lines at right angles to my first line, across from the first line to the right hand side of the card. -  these were my scoring lines for the step on the right of the photo.  Next, using a steel ruler and a craft knife, I cut along the first line that I drew, from the 3.3cm mark down to the 18cm mark.  The 3 lines were scored as far as the cut line, and then the remaining side of the card was scored in half (14.8cm); again only up to the cut line.

Panorama Cards

I like mixing dies and products from different sources.

The main template is cut using the Tattered Lace A5 Panorama die set but the inserts were from one of the first X-cut create-a-scene collections.  The castle stamp is an old one by Crafters' Companion; (Kid's Collection - girls).

 The back A5 panel was created using the Claritystamp large moon mask and cloud mask.  I used Adirondack Stonewashed ink and a Claritystamp stencil brush to create a panel of sky/clouds.

The castle was stamped seperately and coloured in using Chameleon pens. I cut the castle out and stuck it flat onto the back panel.  The sentiment was then stamped into the centre of the moon. (Whimsy stamps)
