Hi everyone! I know have been out of my usual blogging schedule the last couple of weeks but I was so busy. Between family and teaching art journal classes in Italy and Spain I just couldn’t find the time.
So finally today I am sharing my latest art journal, after popular demand.
And as you can see it has nice and bright colors. This background was way out of my comfort zone. If you follow me you know that for my backgrounds I usually move between browns, oranges and blues.
And can you see the crackled effect on the background? Oh you have to see the video to find out how easy it was to make 😉
I love how this layout came out so bright and cheerful as this was my goal… mainly because it perfectly matches my quote!
Also on today’s video I am showcasing an Italian company called Stamperia.
I get so many questions and emails from my European friends about the products I use. Orders from the US can be very expensive mainly because of the high shipping rates. So you need to check Stamperia. They have a big collection of stamps, stencils, tissue papers, paints and so much more. All Stamperia products are of exceptional quality and you will see me using them today. I got mine from Hobby Di Carta an Italian shop with a huge range of products, and you can find all the links below the video.
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Stamperia or Hobby Di Carta nor am I compensated for this post in any way! I post about them because I simply love their service and I am happy with the products. More posts featuring European companies/products will go live in the future.

Another gorgeous layout. Thanks for the video and inspiration.
Hi Vicky, Watching your video’s every day My husband was cleaning out his bookcase and found me a beautiful journal which is just perfect. He said I could have it.
Well here goes I am going to start my very first journal.
I am so excited, thank you for inspiring me.
I love Ginger .Such wonderful company you have.
Bye for now Thanks!

I love all of your pages and techniques. I’m trying to learn as much as I can about what products to put down first, and what not to apply onto something else. Why do you cover an image or paper with matte gel medium after you stick it down with the same glue?
Oops…my name in Helen, not Helenour
If you see more of my videos you will probably hear me saying that I need a non porous surface to do my blending with the markers.
Love your art journal pages!
You are so talented!
Vicky, I always get excited when I see that you have posted a video with an art journal page or card!!! I have learned a lot and you are so fun to watch! Keep up the great work!
Is there any place to buy these stamps in the USA? I would love to have that poppy stamp! Great, cheery project!!!
Below the photos in the post there is a list of supplies, with links to online US shops where you can get them. Hope this helps.
