Art journal page - Believe in magic

Hallo and welcome :0) Today´s page is ca  6" x 8" (cca 15 x 20.5 cm) and it is an entry for Simon Says Stamps´s Wednesday challenge "Add some texture". 

This is a simple collage - my focal images are again from Maremi´s small art Autumn stories and Christmas feries collage books. I used also textured paper from my stash stamped with champagne metallic ink and some elements from 49 and Market´s ephemeras and tapes, all framed with textured cardstock colored with some green and brown distress inks.

Thank you for your visit, feel free to leave me a comment and have a very nice day :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)

Art journal page - Vacation is coming

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

I wanted to try another colour combination with Distress Spray stains and Distress Oxide ink pads - this time Wilted violet and Peacock feathers. I also added some stamping with white pigment ink and black archival ink. Meerkats are from Katzelkraft, post stamps from Spellbinders and big background stamp with tags from Hero arts. 

This page was created as en entry for Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday challenge Anything goes.  

Thank you for your visit, have a very nice Sunday and don't forget that vacation is coming :0)

Art journal page - Possibility

Hi and welcome :0) Today I have a smaller 6"x8" (cca 15x20 cm) art journal page from my new Hahnemühle Watercolour book. The paper is awesome, quite thick and colours stay nicely vibrant :0)

This page is an entry for Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge Not a card and I was highly inspired by the Sandra's tag. A combination of Crackling campfire and Salvaged patina Distress Spray stains and Distress Oxide ink pads is so wonderful that I wanted to create my own variation and I'm very satisfied with the outcome :0) And the benefit is that I used one of my a little bit unheeded paper dolls from Tim Holtz, beautiful background stamps from Catherine Pooler and Stampendous and text stamps from Woodware :0)

Thank you for your visit, have a very nice weekend and please let me know if you like this page too :0)

Art journal page - Best tea

 Hi and welcome :0) Today's page has 8x8 inches (cca 20x20 cm). 

I used one of the green-blue color backgrounds I made recently with Distress Spray Stains. I added some stenciling with water (lifting technique) and an another layer with Distress inks. My focal points are stamps from Visible image colored with the alcohol markers and some washi tapes from my stash. For the dots on the hat I used copic opaque white paint, so they stay white (marks with a gel pen always take on the colours of the background). 

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

Art journal page - Life is a mystery

Hi and welcome :0). This is my new 6.5"x 6.5"  (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm) art journal page.

I played with some Distress stain sprays, stencil water lifting technique, older text stamp and another stencil,  stamps and washi tape from AALL & Create. For my focal point I found a great zebra stamp from my stash. I used Prismacolor premier colored pencils - white, red and blue - to enhanced my seahorses and also to color my focal image. Finally I die-cuted some tiny letters for the quote. 

I am very pleased with a final outcome, I really surprised myself :D

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

Art journal page - Find and express yourself

Hi and welcome again :0) This is my traditional 6.5"x 6.5"  (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm) art journal page of 25. 5. 2021. 

I found some older background I made with acryclic paints and stencils. I was curious whether I can transform the paT artist brush pens and Dylusions sprays filled in brushes.

ge into something. Usually I have big troubles with it, because when I create my projects I make my bacground and focal points together so they match my vision :0) 

I used Darkroom door long butterfies and fern stamp with Dylusions calypso teal creative dyary ink and and some AALL &  Create text washi tape. I found these adorable pandas in my stash and I think that they are just perfect. A light bulb, an old typewriter and a magnifying glass complete the idea of this page. I coloured my images with PITT artist brush pens and Dylusions sprays in water brushes. 

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