Art journal page - Faraway adventure

Hi and welcome :0) This page is again from Canson Mix Media middle art book - 17 x 25 cm (cca 6.5" x 10") and it is my entry for Simon Says Stamp's Monday challenge Transport it.

I started with a background sprayed with Mustard seed and Rusty hinge distress Spray Stains. I created my own background patterned paper with some stamps with an ocean theme stamped in different directions with Kaleidacolor Cappucciono delight dye ink - it is a rainbow inkpad with very nice matching colours. I embossed the whole background with wood grain stencil and used a brayer with Rusty hinge and Ground espresso inks to make the pattern more visible. The final result reminds me water waves :0). As my focal point I made a collage of few images I found recently on Etsy and I really love the outcome :0)

Thank you for your visit, feel free to leave me a comment and see you next time :0)

Art journal page - Do anything

Hi and welcome back :0) Today's page is another one in Canson Mix Media middle art book - 17 x 25 cm (cca 6.5" x 10"). 

I sprayed blue and green Distress Spray stains on my background and added blue Distress Oxide ink through the puzzle stencil. I framed the pattern with a light blue acrylic pen. I stenciled a world map, coloured it with shades of brown and yellow and framed with black acrylic pen. Than I added some text with the stencil and Hero Arts white pigment ink and highlighted the words with brown and white acrylic markers. Finally I glued my focal image coloured with Ohuhu water-based markers and black acrylic pen. 

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

Art journal page - We are all mad here

Hi and welcome :0) Today's page is in Canson Mix Media middle art book - 17 x 25 cm (cca 6.5" x 10"). And it is my entry for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge Anything goes. 

I started with a sun rays stencil and two shades of blue Distress ink - Tumbled glass and Salty ocean. With a Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide stamped a bigger background stamp over it and added white pigment ink through coffee beans stencil over the lighter stripes. And I did not like the outcome. So I sprayed Black marble Dylusions spray over everything and a miracle happened. Oxide and pigment ink partially resisted the dye spray and the page looked much better :0). 

Than I stamped with Versamark through a Visible image's hat stencil and added Ranger's Perfect pearls and a mist of water. I stamped Visible image's stamps from Alice in Wonderland collection and coloured them with water-based markers. Finally I framed all with black and white acrylic markers and added my quote from Tim Holtz's Snarky chat. 

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