    May 29, 2019 / 1 Comment

    Hello everyone! This is Mayline and I am honoured to be guest designer for Spellbinders! Today I have three projects to share with you using the Jane Davenport NEW Artomology collection. As always, this collection is incredibly beautiful and amazing, so I truly enjoyed to make all projects. DREAM MIXED MEDIA PIECE It’s an 8.5×11 sized mixed media piece. It was a challenge for me to combine  various images, and use a different kind of colouring tools in the large area. So, it would be more of a process than my usual card designs but, I did it and it was worth it! And it turned out beautifully. INSTRUCTIONS: To…

    May 28, 2019 / 2 Comments

    Hello everyone, It is Bibi Cameron here. I had an exciting week trying for the very first time some of the new products from the new Artomology release by Jane Davenport. Love! For today, I made three projects using “Charisma Glimmer Plate” and as I was experimenting with the products I got something a little bit different every time. I found that colouring foiled images using Jane’s pastels, acrylic paints and Colorsticks is terrific and in the video below I show you my process with more detail.
