Journaling with Artfoamies by Martha @AyalaArt

Have you ever felt that you want to create something, but you don't know where to start? Well... Art Foamies can help you with that! Hello, this is your Artsy friend Martha, from Ilove2paint.

Today's project features:

• Sandra Evertson | Heart Urn

Grab your Art Journal or Sketchbook, your favorite tissue paper and some fun acrylic paint. This is the metallic paint I like best are Lumiere. If you are not sure what colors, get a color wheel.

Use the brayer to get paint on the ArtFoamie and stamp in different angles on the paper, then tear the shapes gently to collage them on your page.

Add color with crayons and if you feel inspired, write a nice quote around the collaged shape!

I love playing with the Art Foamies, it is relaxing and it can help you stay creative in a very easy way.

Watch the video to see the whole process, and stay creative!

Awesome Art Foamies Stamps! Colorful Tutorial & Techniques by @AyalaArt

HI EVERYONE! This is Martha Ayala of Ayala Art and I am this week's guest artist for ArtFoamies! I love totally creating art with stamps! I was invited by the ArtFoamies to create a project with some of their designs and the ArtFoamies are simply wonderful! 

The stamps I'm using in this art video are from Sandra Evertson and from Gina Ahrens. The steps are easy and I enjoyed every single part of the art process. I worked on a large journal page but it can definitely be done on a canvas. 

Stamps used for today's project include:

• Sandra Evertson | Heart Urn | Foam Stamp
• Gina Ahrens | Long and Leafy | Foam Stamp
• Sandra Evertson | Halo | Foam Stamp

First step, Gesso the surface and paint a background with your favorite colors, I selected sky blue.

I made a template of the silhouette I wanted to use for a mask to avoid stamping in some areas.

With the botanical design I stamped in the background with different colors to give the background depth and interest.

The heart ArtFoamie was stamped on a colorful paper to collage it separately.

With a tissue paper, or deli paper, you can create a new design pattern paper to add as well in your composition.
