Making cards!

Hello lovely people!

For last few days, most of the time I've been working on my Christmas and greeting cards designs. 

Painted but still mixed media.

The fox is already available in my Etsy shop.

The rest is going to my local professional printers very soon.

Can't wait to see them printed on beautiful 350gsm silk paper.

A few more designs...

Collage sheets for art journaling and more...

Hello lovely people!
Today I want to show you some of my mixed media creatures. I've created a few art journal pages with some cute creatures and I thought 'why not to create collage sheets with them!?'. And here they are. I had fun creating them, I hope you like them.

Available in my Etsy shop.

I will come back with some art journal pages soon.

What to do with colouring pages part 1

Some of you may know that I create colouring pages. Most of them are made especially for adults but many of them because of a cute characters can be a great challenge for a little younger ones too. I create very detailed pages. Most of them are covered by pattern in whole, not only a part of the page. Why is that? I love detailed patterns (a dress from a fabric with my pattern is my dream) but also I can use them in my mixed media artwork.

I know that buying colouring pages separately (not in a book) is more expensive ( there is a few reasons for that but this post is not about that) but if you really like the illustration and have a few ideas how to colour it or use it, I think it is worth to go for it.

Remember, if you buy a colouring page, you can print as many copies as you want! If you don't like a finished effect you can print one more page. What paper to choose? It really depends what you want to do with it. For this post I used my home printer (Epson XP620 - nothing fancy as you can see, normal home printer) and a piece of smooth Bristol. 

Please check out my Etsy shop! You will find a lot of colouring pages there. More to follow!

I coloured a centre of the pattern using colouring pencils and then I sprayed 2-3 mists - Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist. You can use whatever mist you have. There is only one rule when applying mediums - it needs to be transparent - you want to see your pattern!

The big surprise was when I turn the page. In places where the lines of pattern were (on a right side of the page), the mist soak in and gave a really nice effect.

I've made a quick card to show you one of the ways how to use colouring pages, more to follow!
