Hello Clique friends,
​Valeska here with you today sharing a new layout that I made with the beautiful Sampler Kit from American Crafts : Heidi Swapp's Sunchaser. This kit is perfect to document summer moments. The color palette is so fresh and I can't say what I love most about this kit. I decided to make a layout using two papers from the kit and a lot of embellishments.

I chose the yellow paper as the base for my layout and when I saw the sun bursts paper I already knew I wanted to cut it and use it as a way to give my page some dimension. 
I cut 1/3 of the sun bursts paper off and then I cut each colored piece of paper and sewed it in the middle of some strips with white thread, I also distressed the paper around it and glued it to the yellow paper making the original design of the paper.

I also decided to cut my photo in half, separating two scenes as if they were two photos. I wanted everything have some  movement and be as fun as possible.
I placed the cropped photo in the middle of my layout and glued it with 3d foam stickers for more high.

Now it's time to decorate my page with ephemeral and a tag. I also used the stickers with definitions and puffy words stickers too. Some of then I use 3d foam stickers to glue on the page.

But I believe the super star element was the multicolored word stickers.
I glued it on top of the two photos in a blue overlay with the word "discover" and the sea in the photo. I loved the result and even more because the words are written in Heidi's handwriting. Wonderful, isn't it?!

I really loved working with this kit and I'm sure you will too. I hope this post has inspired you to create awesome projects.
​Thanks for stopping by.
See you soon

Today I’m back with an art journal page (well it’s more like two pages, because the other was to test the colours but came one page too. So, two for the price of one 😊) 

In my last package I received a new product (the BOKU-UNDO JAPANESE WATERCOLOR)  and chose to use in a different way besides colouring a draw, for example.  Being that told I used the palette to create my pages background in a very modest way and I really love the result.

I didn’t know this kind of inks so went surfing in the web to learn a bit more about it and I recommend you to do the same because you will be surprised. 

​Must say, that I LOVE that they come in a porcelain round that we can reuse time after time when it´s over and is an awesome prop for our craft room.   The inks are highly pigmented and very smooth to use. I got this set and the shadow-mei palette with the darker colours and go very well together. My “second” art journal page was made mixing the two palettes together.

Another thing is that if you want to use your brush again on top of the paper with just a bit of water, they will be less intense/bright in a great way. Also, you don’t need to use a lot of water to pull the colour from the palette, with a small drop you can get the full colour. 

I guess they got me sold after a first time using this, trust me when I say that they are great, because they really are.

To share my enthusiasm, I made a reel for my Instagram account, and you can see how I made my project for today. Also, made an extra page using my test sheet. 

In this project I mixed again some supplies from different kits, but I will link all as usually. Please show us the way that you use this kind of watercolours because we will love to see and learn with you. 

I really hope you feel inspired with my project.
If you do don´t forget to share with us because the Clique team will love to see it.
