Stay At Home - Art Journal Page by Lynn

Hi everyone, I cant believe it is the start of another month already!  The good thing about that - it is new challenge time!!!!!  This months challenge is a moodboard all about houses.

I have not been one of the ones that have been able to stay home, I have had to go to work each day and as I live in the country live has not been too different for me.

This moodboard was certainly a favourite of mine - colour and houses - what a great combination.

I'd like to take the time to acknowledge the amazing artists and work on pinterest (where all these images are from)

They definitely provide us with sooo much inspiration.

Here is my page

I have created this in my Dylusions Large Art Journal.  After covering the page with gesso I got to play with the new Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays   - Marine, Fuchsia and Lemon.

I love how these paints interact with each other - and the desire to dry was difficult to resist but with being plastic paints heat is not recommended.   

As I am not a patient person I decided to use another piece of paper to mop up the excess

I LOVED how it pulled the paint and created texture.  The paint has dried a little and when I pulled the piece of paper off  (I have used Paper Artsy Smoothy cardstock) it lifted the paint in areas which created a real rough feel that I love.- I have put the piece on the right to the side and will use this on my next project later in the month.

While the paint was drying I got a second piece of Paper Artsy Smoothy Cardstock and painted stripes using Dylusion Paints - Tropical Sangria, Sour Appletini, Mango Punch and Lemon Drop.  There are the new colours from Dylusions and are so delicious.

I have then stamped the houses stamp from Paper Artsy ZA40

I have then used Dylusion Paint Pens and Posca white and black pens to colour the images which I adhered to the page.  The title I have stamped with Tim Holtz Block Upper Case stamp and Black Ink.

I have then written around the houses in a black Posca Pen.

Here are some close ups:
