Dylusions art journal - Cabinet of curiosities

Hi and welcome :0) Today´s page is in the 8"x8" (ca 21x21 cm) Dylusions journal. 

I recently bought a Color Cube catalog and cards from Sarah Renae Clark and I picked one card with color combination I like to try if I can use it for my project. 

And I played a bit with a watercolor style background and coloring. I stamped glass domes around the central circle and coloured them with violet, pink and orange Ditress Spray stains and Dylusions Ink sprays which I applied with a brush. For the background I´ve chosen teal colours (altough in the picture it looks more blue). I stamped a lot with gold ink - star constellations and moon phases -  and used gold acrylic pen from Uni Posca and black liner to enhance all the images and add some details. The central amonite shell is from Impression Obsession stamps. Finally I finished the page with some butterfly stickers and wrote a quote. I must admit that this color combination is not what I would normally chose, but I quite like the outcome :0)

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

Art journal page - Moment of beauty

Welcome and thank you for visiting my blog :0) This is another smaller page (20.5 cm x 14 cm / 5.5" x 8") for this year, an entry for Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge "Fun With Stencils", for Allsorts challenge "Week 766" and also for  Stencil Fun "February challenge". 

I started the page with a few spritz of coffe and added some brown Distress inks over it to make it darker. I embossed the background with starry 3D embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp and enhanced the stars with Finnabair´s gold wax. Circle of watercolor paper was again sprayed with coffee and colored with brown Distress inks and turquoise acrylic paint. I used Tim Holtz´s Harlequin stencil for it. I added some brown stamping with text stamps from AALL & Create, gold ink through the Tim Holtz´s floral stencil and lines with Posca gold acrylic pen. I stamped the moon with gold ink, colored it a bit with very diluted Scattered straw Distress ink and added a butterfly, a quote and a gold metallic string on the edges. My focal point is from Etsy. 

Have a nice day and see you :0)
