Art Journaling with Viva Las VegaStamps!

Good morning, my friends!

I'd like to show you another Art Journal page which I created for Viva Las VegaStamps.

I used Distress Oxides in three different colours on my watercolour paper and applied some texture with a stencil. For a bit more interest, I did some stamping with the scribble circle and the crossmarks background stamp.

I stamped the scribble heart overlapping, the second time without re-inking. 

I had to stamp the sentiment twice, since I changed the words just a bit (Excuse me, Mr. Warhol!)

The exclamation mark is from this sentiment: 9184!

I distressed the edges, et voilà, ready is my journal page.

I used the following stamps:

8747

20166

20165

20169
9184

I used some Miracle Tape to glue my page into my journal! 

Happy Crafting and a Happy week for you all!

*I* is for INKY!

Let's dip into the paints and inks and get our fingers messy!

Our new challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers ..... 

GET INKY!

I have used lost of distress oxides for my background. My main image is a Dina Wakley stamp, the sentiment is from Dyan Reaveley.

Happy Weekend and Happy Crafting ♥

Art Journaling for Our Mixed Media Moods

For the current challenge at Our Mixed Media Moods I created this page.

I just knew I would get stuck on Pink. I should've left it there and start all over with other colors, but I kept going on and on, until I was so frustrated that I almost dumped it in the trash. But then I thought I might as well face my bad moods and failures and show it after all. ....... 

Ready for Spring?

I'm over on the Viva Las VegaStamps Blog today with an Art Journal Page inspired by the warmer temperatures finally in Spring ....

.... and a little close up .... 

 Happy Crafting ♥

Hello Peeps!

Our current Take It Make It challenge is in full swing, with some amazing entries so far!

Just in case you need a little more inspiration, our DT has come up with some more amazing projects to share today :) 

First though, a bit of inspiration from me for you ......

I used a Viva Las VegaStamps Image and sentiment as well as a Carabelle Stencil for my background together with Distress Oxides.

Our Sponsor: Donna Gray 

Look at the awesome Prize you could win: 2 beautiful Stamp sets

 

Sunshine Tag!

Good morning, my friends!

Over at our blog at Viva Las VegaStamps I'd like to share with you a tag I created with this awesome lady. 

I have used her a quite a bit in the past, for me she suits my creations almost every time.

I started by spraying my tag with Distress Spray Stain and stamped the ray on top. I applied texture paste and let it dry, meanwhile I stamped and fuzzy cut the main image, the hat and the sentiment. I colored the lady and the hat with Koh-I-Noor pencils.

I adhered everything with pop dots.

Some close ups of the background ....

Stamps I used:

17709

198896

20176

Happy Tuesday and Happy Crafting ♥

Under the Weather?

Our new challenge over at the UYS Challenge Blog is ....

WEATHER

It could be a weather themed project, or some weather embellishments (think clouds, raindrops, sunshine, snow etc). 

I have decided to make a small canvas as a wall hanging. I think I already know who is going to get it :)

I applied Gesso with a stencil, when it was dry I inked it up with distress ink in three different colours. I stamped my image on tissue paper and adhered it with napkin varnish. The sentiment is computer generated.

Some hemp cord and a little wooden heart finished my project!

.... and some close ups 

Happy Crafting! ♥
