Art journal page - Everything you can imagine

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

This pate is an entry for Stencil Fun blog September challenge.

I created a background with water and more layers of Lindy's magical shakers Lizzy's Cuppa Tea Teal and Spill the Tea Teal.  I added stenciling with Dylusions small Suits You Sir stencil and Salvaged Patina and Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxides and finished the background with 49 and Market and Tim Holtz rub-ons and a quote.  As my focal point I used another image from Etsy :0)

Thank you for your visit, feel free to leave me a comment and have a very nice "still summer" weekend :0)

Dylusions art journal - Question

Welcome back :0) Today's page is from Dylusions classic ca. 8"x11" (cca 20 x 28 cm) journal and it is my entry for Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge Love Is In The Air.

I used Dylusions dy-cuts, white shimmer paint, two stencils technique and for colouring Karin brushmarkers PRO together with a very old Tim Holtz's Adirondack color wash.

This page is about family and relationships, about love and hope.

Art journal page - Your colours always cheer me up

Hi and welcome :0) I finished another page in my smaller 6"x8" (cca 15x20 cm) art journal from Hahnemühle. 

I played with 3 random colours of my distress spray stains - Kitsch flamingo, Squeezed lemonade and Cracked pistachio. I applied light layer with my brush, added stamping and embossing with pearl white embossing powder and put an another layer of the same colours through Tim Holtz Splatter stencil. I love the final background :0) 

I found some funny character stamps from my stash and coloured them with Ohuhu Water-based markers and Distress ink re-inkers - the 3 same colours I used already (re-inkers are more concentraded than Spray stains). I only added Crackling campfire as my red.   I used new Dylusions washi tape from Dyan Reaveley, I incorporated my quote in to the design and framed the whole page with black and white marker.

This page was created as en entry for Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday challenge Bright & Cheerful and I think that it is really very bright (and hopefuly cheeful too) :0)

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

Creative week 11 - "Hmmm COFFEE"

Hi, welcome back again :0)

"Hmmm COFFEE" is again an art journal page from my Seawhite hardbound 7.5"x7.5" (ca. 20x20 cm) journal. 

I started with a great Altenew Cube builder stencil, which I absolutely love and then I added a few stamped elements to the background...and suddenly the idea for this page came to me :0)

I used Impression obsession beautiful coffee cup, coffee beans and steam swirl, Tim Holtz's books and one of the Dyan's cute Dylusions dog stamps and for the coloring Distress inks and markers, Marvy Uchida's brown ink pad and white paint pen. I wanted to keep the colour scheme simple, because the background is quite busy....but why not :D

I love the smell of the coffee, although I don't drink it and this page is just about it :0)

Thank you for stopping by and see you next time :0)
