A New Video Series: Lynn’s COPY-CAT-alog ART
Welcome to Lynn’s COPY-CAT-alog Art Video Series, where we explore the world of art and focus on creating inspirational pieces from our current Close To My Heart catalog. Whether you’re an experienced artist, a beginner, or someone who just loves to get creative, these videos aim to inspire and educate you on the art of ‘copy-catalog’ creation. This term doesn’t mean ripping off someone else’s work, but rather drawing inspiration from existing art and replicating the design with your materials to make it your own. So, get ready to unleash your creativity with me.
What is ‘COPY-CAT-alog ‘ Art?
COPY-CAT-alog’ Art is a video tutorial sharing the creative inspiration from an existing piece of Close To My Heart Catalog art and showing you how it is made. This is not about copying the work of others but about learning different techniques, styles, and elements that make a piece of art inspirational. It’s about embracing creativity in a new and exciting way.
The Journey of Creating ‘COP-CAT-alog’ Art
Every piece of art starts with an idea. In ‘copy-catalog’ art, this idea comes from an existing art piece created by Close To My Heart’s Art Studio in our current catalog that strikes a chord with you. This could be anything from a scrapbook page to a beautiful card. The idea is to give you the details and best tips on creating the inspirational piece so you will be confident in making this ART with me.
In this secnd issue:
I am creating the two page scrapbook layout from the Sept./Oct. 2023 issue on page 36. The layout contains only cardstock and stamping with D2196 Design Elements stamp set (many of my Kit of the Month Club members own this set as we have used it in a few kits.)
- Did you want to know how to make those ‘stripes’ on the layout? Well, if so, then you will love the technique of using our ink pads to create these ‘striped’ swatches in the center of the pages. What a fun idea!
- In addition, many stamps from the Design Elements stamp set are used on quite a bit of the pages. Learn some great tips along the way as you watch the design take shape.
- A list of ingredients will be showcased at the front and end of the video. You can find any of these products in your stash … or on MY WEBSITE HER
