Video: Not Quite a Blank Slate!
Hello Spellbinders and Davenpeeps! It’s Courtney Diaz again from Little Raven Ink to show you another way in which I create with the new Making Faces range. I love to add interactive items into my journals such a Tip-Ins. If you aren’t familiar with what a Tip In is, in the book printing and binding business a Tip-in was to attach (an insert) in a book by gluing along the binding edge. For example to tip in a color plate. So essentially it’s adding another page or item into your journal/book. I love Tip-ins, I live for them, I am always finding fun ways to add more to my journal and today I am going to show you what I call a Spark Starter! These are more for your inspiration…

Jane Davenport Artomology | Mixed Media Inspiration with Mayline
Hi friends! This is Mayline, thank you for joining me today. This is my last post with projects I made using Jane Davenport Artomology collection. Today I am sharing two cards and one mixed media. Let’s take a look at my first card. To start off, I stamped flower girl images and poppy images from Flower Girls Clear Stamps and Poppy Girl Clear Stamps using a masking technique on some white cardstock. I coloured them using Smooth Markers – Feathered Friends (EGG, FLOCK, HATCHLING, CREST, NEST, HOVER, WING) and Mermesmerizing (LORIKEET, MOUNTAIN GEM). I then stamped circles from Mad Confetti Clear Stamps using Squid Ink Gold Bullion. Lastly, I stamped a sentiment from Mad Confetti Clear Stamps on the panel.…

Jane Davenport Artomology | A “Glance” is All it Takes | Arting with Kimball Davis
Here we are again! Kimball here, excited to bring you my final Artomology post! Portraits are one of my favorite things to do so, of course, I saved this for my last entry. The reason I love creating faces is because the slightest changes can create a whole new person, emotion or story. This time it’s all about the eyes. Instructions: Step 1 – I started off by using Jane’s INKredible Inks to add a splash of color to the background. To get the ink flowing, I use Jane’s mister bottle to wet the page before splashing down colors. Knowing this was a portrait, I made sure to use a…

Jane Davenport Artomology | Decompress in Times of Stress | Arting with Kimball Davis
Hello again! Kimball here with another Artomology adventure! Life is full of ups and downs and art can serve as a great tool to express emotions and release stress, especially when your world seems to be changing rapidly. When using art to express yourself emotionally, it can be beneficial to take on a more carefree approach to your creation. When you aren’t focused on a specific technique or end result, it allows you to focus in on what you’re really feeling. Sometimes you end up with a surprising piece that takes you out of your comfort zone and allows you to discover new things about yourself as an artist. Instructions:…

Jane Davenport Artomology | Weekly Planning Spread with Cindy Guentert-Baldo
Hi everyone! Cindy here, sharing my second project using the Jane Davenport Artomology Collection. After doing the underwater cover page I was really excited to experiment with a similarly themed weekly layout. I decided to do a basic vertical weekly layout, using a technique my friend Michelle Baxter (@quirkyheart on Instagram) loves to use – masking off the days and then inking. I lay down masking tape to keep the days clean (ish – working with ink is rarely neat!) and then used the same technique I used yesterday to spread the Squid Ink Hybrid Inkpads all over the page. When I was done, I used some of the Jane…

Jane Davenport Artomology | Crafting with Jane Davenport Markers with Angela Tombari
Hi friends! It’s Angela Tombari back here, thank you for joining me. I have a fun project to share with you using the Jane Davenport Artomology collection. Today I am focusing on the use of Markers on an alternative surface, a piece of fabric! As you can see from the photo I created two pouches that I intend to use for my art supplies. The first pouch size is 7 inches square and the markers fits perfectly inside. I love the vibrant colors and how it turned out. The Markers are alcohol based, they work well on fabric and can resist soft washing. To make the pouch I started drawing…
