Bloom and grow | Anna Komenda

Hello Shimmerz fans. It's Anna here with my next project created with gorgeous Shimmerz paints and mists. Today I want to share with you a floral page with pretty cut file. The color palette I chose for this page is not typical for me. I usually prefer much brighter shaded with a lot of pink and yellow :)

I was inspired by the picture of my daughter wearing a blue T shirt having all the flowers and trees in the background. 

I stared with creating a background using mists and paints applied directly to the paper without adding any gesso. I also added a fun layer of glittery Pasteez through the stencil.

Using mists like paints by applying them with brush is my favorite way of spreading my supplies. You can easily mix Spritz and Vibez with Inklingz and Creameez and you will get pretty watercolor effects.

As always I have a process video for you. You can follow me and recreate this page.

Products used:

Paste-eez: Puttin' on the glitz

Creameez: Lapis dance

Inklingz: Old yeller, Honey do list

Spritz: Bamboo leaf, Chick-a-dee

Vibez: Glorious day, Deep blue sea

Thank you for stopping by.

Art journal "Drawing faces" | Anna Komenda

Hello everyone. It's Anna here with my last project this year. It's been a great journey for me and luckily I will continue it next year. So be warn :D I will back back here at least 12 more times :)

I have something unusual for you today - an art journal spread. I haven't art journal for ages. I simply doesn't have time for that but I really enjoyed doing it in the past. I follow some very inspiring ladies on Instagram like Mindy Lacefield, Jave Davenport and Irit Landgraf. They draw pretty girls and I wanted to try this for my own. This is my result. It's definitely not perfect. I am no a painter at all. I just wanted to feel this pure joy of making my own girls. 

This was my fist attempt and I recorded it. I really need to learn how to draw eyes and hair. But practise makes perfect, right? I even ordered a new journal. 

Here is a video:

And here is my second try with drawing a girl. I like this one much better but the cat is my favourite. Maybe I should start drawing animals instead of people :)

I used many fantastic Shimmerz products like Creemez, Inklingz, Vibez and Spritz. They all work like watercolors and adding them layer by layer was a real pleaure.

That is all for today. Thank you for stopping by. As it is my last post this year I want to wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
