Last week I bought a  Colourcraft Crystal Colours Brusho set and today I got to try it. Oh my word, it didn't let me down... such a beautiful set and so many possibilities when using it in art work and Art Journal spreads and general Mixed Media.
​I got the set of 8, which is mainly nature colours, lots of greens, yellows, browns and and reds. The colours are so intense and I literally only used a sprinkling (as you will see in the video process tutorial below). I can't wait to start using it to create page background, papers and journaling / ATC cards.

Tips and ideas for starting your art journal pages for both beginners and the more advanced. Kerrymay._.Makes
Beginning the journey into art journaling can sometimes be scary; not knowing where to start or what tools and equipment you need, thinking it won't be good enough, not having any inspiration... sound familiar? It needn't be.

​Art journals are a means of self expression and are ultimately for YOU, no one else. So stop judging yourself and get going and go with the flow, you soon won't be able to stop those creative juices from flowing. Read on for 10 ideas to get you started.

I have had the idea to make my own watercolour journaling cards / project life style cards for a while now, just never had the time to give it a go. So during half term week (I work as a teacher), I decided to give it a bash. I must say I do love the finished result. Credit goes out to http://joannesharpe.com for the inspiration.

Art Journaling Mini Series this tutorial is covering wax resist and rubbing alcohol using watercolour. It also looks at using water compatible brush pens. Kerrymay._.Makes
You made it - woo hoo and a Christmas theme to boot!  Tutorial 4 in the Art Journaling Mini Series is covering wax resist and rubbing alcohol using watercolour. In this tutorial I am using watercolour brush pens and an aqua watercolour brush, but you can use any watercolour paint and brushes for these techniques.

What you will need: Resources

Grab some watercolour paper - this is a must, it just doesn't work as well on any other paper. 

​You then need some watercolour paint or watercolour friendly brush pens, a white wax crayon and rubbing alcohol 70 or 90% (you can skip this step if you just want the wax resist  bit).

​There is a video tutorial below if you are more of a visual tutorial follower.
