Art journal page - Own your story

Hi and welcome :0) Here is a new page in my smaller 6"x8" (cca 15x20 cm) art journal from Hahnemühle. 

I've chosen Dylusions sprays this time - Lemon zest, Funky fuchsia and London blue. I mixed them with my brush directly on the wet paper and added some water splashes. I applied Stamperia Black silver Glamour paste through an older Finnabair stencil , let it dry, made a few circles with a white gel pen and added my focal image - beautiful Audrey Hepburn. For the leafy "frame" I used Alexandra Renke dies. And final touches - white rub-ons from Tim Holtz - stars and quote. 

Thank you for your visit, have a beautiful Sunday and see you next time :0)

Tag - Classified

 Hi and welcome :0) Today I have just small 8" x 4" tag (cca 20x10 cm). 

I played with Tim Holtz Uncharted mariner Distress ink combined with Salvaged patina Distress ink. Patina is not much visible, but it definitely changes the final blue color of the background. This combination is really very nice. I used one of Tim Holtz paper doll and some ephemeras and stickers from my stash. I found also some interesting stamps from Alexandra Renke for my background and quote. I did not have any plan, just followed the flow and like the final outcome, especially the blue-red contrast :0)

Thank you for your visit and see you next time :0)

Art journal page - Good times

Hi and welcome back :0). This is a page for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge "Make your own background". 

After a small holiday break I was looking forward to try a new Distress colour from Tim Holtz - Uncharted mariner. This blue is a much more green-blue colour than on my photo and really very nice one. I'm happy to have it in my collection. 

I started with a simple layering background and added some rub-ons, collage elements and also my focal point and quote. I wanted to stay mostly monochromatic so the "mariner" is still the main colour of my page. As a final "gentle" touch I found some butterflies and butterfly wings :0).

Thank you for your visit and have a very nice summer day :0)
