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 - Imagination

Hi and welcome again :0). Today's double-sided page is 6.5"x 6.5"  (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm) and it is my entry for Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge Make your mark.

I created both backgrounds with the help of the big blot stencil and Saltwater taffy, Salvaged patina and Uncharted mariner Distress inks. I also used mix of black inks and Kuretake's Gansai Tambi White gold pigment colour diluted with water which I splashed with the small brush as stars. With the black acrylic marker I blocked shapes of the colours from my background to create the final design.

Then I added my focal images coloured with alcohol markers and water-based markers. 

Thank you for stopping by, have a nice week and see you next time :0)

Tag - Travel with the autumn wind

Hi and welcome :0) Today I have another Nr. 10 manila tag (ca 21,5 x 10 cm) for Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge "Fabulous Fall Mood Board" and also Wednesday challenge "Fall colors"

For my background I've chosen two embossing folders from Lisa Horton and Whimsy stamps and sprayed it with Broken China and Prize Ribbon Distrass Spray Stains combined with Snow Flurries Distress Mica Stain. I found nice leaves stamps from Simon Says Stamp and for my focal point Aall & Create Squirrels. All the images were coloured with Faber Castell Pitt pens, Ohuhu Water-based markers and coloured pencils. 

I like a lot the brightnes of the tag and I wish you an equally shiny and colourful autumn :0) 

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

Art journal page - Destiny

Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I have a bigger page - 8"x10" (ca 21 x 25 cm). 

For this page I combined Stampscapes stamps with randomly picked stamps from my stash e.g IndigoBlu unicorn (the second unicorn was created with mirror-stamping technique on the gel plate). I used Distress oxide colours for my background and Distress inks to color my images. I enhanced the details and lines with black Ohuhu Water-based marker and black and white acrylic paint pens. For my main focal points I've chosen Carabelle studio girl stamp and also texture plate with the beautiful astrological circle. 

Thank you for your visit and have a great creative time :0)

Art journal page - The choice

Hi and welcome. This is a new page in my 7" (ca. 17,8 cm) round art journal :0)

I was inspired by the chemistry bottle and frog stamps from Inkadinkado I have in my stash for ages and I decided to create a rainbow playful page as my entry for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge "Little critters". I gave some difficult choice to my little frog :0)

For the brown colours I used Twinklings H2O mica watercolours and for the bottles Distress Spray stains applied with a brush and Ohuhu Water-based markers in the similar shades. I die-cuted my quote with Tim Holtz tiny typewriter font.  Finally I added some highlights with white acrylic paint pen and enhanced all the lines with black acrylic paint pen. 

I'm very happy with the outcome :0)

Thank you that you've stopped by and have a very nice day :0)

Art journal page - Boo and welcome

Hi and welcome :0) Today I would like to show you a new page in my Canson Mix Media middle art book - 17 x 25 cm (cca 6.5" x 10").

This page is an entry for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge "Stamp it".

This page is about an idea of one friendly night visit - a little bit interactive page. I created my background with Distress Oxide inks and a moon mask from Tim Holtz. Than I stamped a tree and a grass and stenciled the bats with very dark black Versafine Claire ink. But later I also traced all these images with black acrylic pen, so they ended up much darker. 

I used some patterned papers and dies from my stash to create a house, a path and a door (I embossed them with Tim Holtz 3D embossing folders lumber and cobblestone) and stamped my monster's friends, an eyeball and a pumpkin with Gina K. amalgam obsidian ink. I coloured them with Ohuhu water based markers and Seedless preserves distress ink applied with a brush. This ink I also used to create my wallpaper in the house - I darkened light violet paper with Seedless preserves distress ink and stamped with the same ink a damask background stamp on it. The result is very nice. 

Finally I added some lights with a white gel pen, shadows with the markers and I darkened again every stamped line and every single edge of my die cuts with the black acrylic pen so they stand out nicely against the darker background.

I'm happy with this page and I although I spent a few nights with this page I don't regret the time :0)

Thank you a lot for your visit, have a nice day and see you next time :0)

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)
