Playful art journal pages 4 and 5
Another two small art journal pages today. It is mostly about background. I wanted to try a Versamark or Watermark ink technique with a combination with Distress ink pads and Pan pastels.
I need to say, that first trial - Nr. 4 is a quite out of my comfort zone - red color for the background and green (complementary color) leaves in foreground, that is definitely not my cup of tea. On the other hand I wanted something a little bit romantic what would fit with my background Vintage alphabet stamp. Unfortunately this time I did not the technique correctly and the final result was not according to my expectations, so I also used some stencils to finished it. But I like a lot the watch and squirrel :D
Second trial - journal page Nr. 5 - is much much better :D. I like it a lot. I used Distress ink pads, stamped the lattice background stamp with Versamark ink, spritzed the page with water and dried it with heat tool and paper towel. I used Distress ink pads again a little bit to softened some lighter spots. Than I stamped the leaves and applied the white Pan pastel with Distress foam applicator. The result was magical, especially when I burnished the whole page with dry paper towel, so the Pan pastel was fixed on the stamped places and the colors became a little bit more pastel. Finally I used this technique again with music notes stamps. For the image I wanted to use a one layer technique, so I stamped Gorjuss girl stamp, masked it with low tack paper mask and stamped a beautiful tree stamp from Chocolate Baroque over it. The tree stamp was originally bigger and there were two birds, but i masked them out with masking tape before stamping and than I used just a part of the stamp, so it is narrower now :0)

For both pages I used Seawhite hardcover art journal again (25x19 cm / 10"x7.5").

Art journal page - Summer
Hi,
today I have an art journal page with summer theme and colors :0) I used shell stamps from Chocolate Baroque, Inkadinkado and Sheena Douglass and also some labels from sea-themed JustRite stamps . Lovely cherries are also from Chocolate Baroque stamps and tiny birds are from one of the Xcut "build a scene" die sets. The bottles are made from two layers of the acetate sheet and inside colored with Ranger alcohol inks with a little help of StazOn ink pads. Because both layers with the alcohol ink in between them are a little bit sliding, I glued them together with a glossy acrylic medium. On the back side of them I also put one layer of a translucent tracing paper, so the plastic is not so so transparent at the end :0). Other images are colored with Spectrum noir and Twin Touch alcohol markers and some Distress ink pads. Background is made with combined technique of three Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays (Baby Blue Eyes Aqua and Delphinium Turquoise), gesso and water droplets.
Square 28 x 28 cm (cca 11" x 11")
