Forever

Hi Friends!

I'm here to post the process of my latest art journal page. I really had fun with this page and am happy that I was able to finish it relativity quickly.

Starting out on mixed media paper, I applied strips of old book pages and various washi tapes with mod podge. Once I was happy with the composition, I covered the entire page with white gesso.

With black archival ink and a few Tim Holtz stamps, I randomly stamped around the paper and tape cluster. I then add the colour, using Lindy's sprays in Sea Mint Green and Mystic Malachite, I mostly just stay to the cluster, spraying and using the dip tubes to apply the colour. I used my heat tool to dry and add a few colour splaters here and there.

I then glue down a few ripped pages borders, a few rulers from a Tim Holtz paper pack, some scrap ribbon, drywall tapes, and an embossed butterfly as the bases of the photos. I had previously cut out the two small shipping tags from a Shnibblybits SVG file and added some random script stamping in white. I added some eyelets and twine to the tags after inking the edges and attached them to the page.

The two images come from a Finnabair Ephemera pack that I had slightly inked and rumpled up. I chose the words from the Tim Holtz Clipping Stickers and mounted some hardware over top. I added a few Number Brads to the clusters as well.

Finally,  I chose a Shnibblybits stencil in Bullseye Chevron to do a little inking through to emphasize the pictures, I did this with Pumice Stone Distress ink and then splattered water to distress the ink further. I simply glued down the word forever with all purpose glue.

I hope you enjoy 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...
