First Art Journal Page

Happy May!! Hope it's a sunny day for you! It's been raining here all week long, and pretty chilly too. Hoping next week will be better. 

My 7 year old was busy yesterday drawing/coloring characters from her currently favorite movie "Frozen". I really liked how they both turned out and asked her if I could turn them into an art journal page. I have never made one before and thought these colorings would be perfect for one. 

She agreed and that is what I did today.

I used several patterned papers for the background. Glued them onto the mixed media card stock using mod podge. I painted a little bit of gesso onto the papers. Olaf and Elsa (the two characters my daughter drew and colored) were cut out and glued onto the papers using mod podge. I printed out the verse (from the Movie Soundtrack) and added it too. I also used a stencils with some dylusions inks for a little extra texture. Added the snowflakes (whimsy stamps snowflakes trio die) and then painted another layer of mod podge over the whole page, and sprinkled with glitter.

Thanks for stopping by!

Children's Challenge at Digital Pencil

Good morning everyone, hope you're all having a wonderful Thursday!

Mo Manning is having a special children's challenge this week. I had told my daughter about it a little while ago when they first announced it on the digital pencil challenge blog, and she just couldn't wait to make a card for the challenge. She usually plays with my leftovers, paper scraps and images that I messed up on, she just doesn't want to waist them I guess and for her they are perfect. For today's challenge I let her choose a Mo Manning image, and she decided  to go with this cute kitty, which was a freebie a while ago, and is now available for purchase at Mo's store. 

Here is her card.

I even let her use my faber castell polychromos pencils and yes, even my blending stumps. She wanted to make a birthday card, so I let her choose one of my birthday sentiments, the one she used is from Stampin Up, but I don't remember which set, as I have all the sentiments separated from their sets. She chose the silver ribbon, I did make the bow for her as she doesn't know how to make bows. The sentiment was stamped all by herself though. I can't believe how straight it turned out! Well, she wanted to add a flower too, but somehow she forgot...

So there it is, my 6year old's first officially blogged card :-)

Thanks so much everyone for visiting!!
