Beauty

Hi Friends!

I'm here to share another art journal page with you all! I noticed that I've been sticking mostly to a blue and green pallet lately and figured it was time to switch it up!

This double page spread was created on two A4 sized Finnabair printed papers. Because they already encompassed the colour pallet I was aiming for, I really did very little to the background. I just randomly stamped a script stamp all over the papers with black archival ink and applied white gesso.

I was really feeling like adding a lot of texture to this layout, so I used two of my Shnibblybits stencils, Harlequin and Mixed Numbers with modelling paste, just alternating the patterns randomly over both pages. I let the page dry overnight.

Now the colour, I used the following Lindy's sprays, Phantom Fuchsia, Hottie Pattotie Hot Pink, & Sunset Pink. Once that was dry I did a little stamping around the colour with black archival ink and a music notes and a bubbles stamp.

I used various washi tape, trim, and ribbon to anchor my image and embellishments. I used glass bead gel to glue down the beaded wire. I added butterfly wings to a Tim Holtz paper doll and adhered it with foam dots. I made a 3D flower using a bunch of Shnibblybits Flower outline cutouts, sprayed them with the same Lindy's sprays as the page and glued the layers together and set with a brad, slightly manipulating the petals upwards. I glued the flower and the word "Beauty" down with all purpose glue.

The final step was using a blending tool and black archival ink to ink the edges.

I hope you like what I've created!

Happy Memories

Hi Friends! I'm posting another quick art journal page today. I started this page with scraps of Tim Holtz tissue wrap and masking tape which I adhered with Mod Podge. I arranged and adhered scraps of canvas gesso side down and then gessoed the entire page. Using a blending tool and Distress Oxides in Broken China and Antique Linen I added colour to the background. I then used Lindy's sprays and Inktense pencils to colour and outline the canvas pieces with several blue and brown shades. I randomly added script stamping with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide, pine needle stamping with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide, and stencilled Harlequin pattern with Shnibblybits stencil with Broken China Distress Oxide. After inking the edges of a few Shnibblybits vines with black ink, I adhered them down with all purpose glue. I then added some floral and butterfly die cuts from Tim Holtz to make a few clusters. Finally I added the bird, he's an Arboreal chickadee who frequent...
