ATC Cards by Tanya Froud

 Hi Guys! Tanya Here with another of my creations for the month,

With the drip spritz and spray theme going on this month its got me re-discovering some old favorites that got put on the shelf and forgotten about. Oxide Sprays! I forgot how much fun they are.

For my ATC cards i started with a base of 8x10 inch heavy white card stock.

I spritzed Pickled Raspberry, Fossilized Amber and Pumpkin Oxide Sprays onto my craft mat, one at a time them smooshed the card into it to build color. I dried it ever and then to get more depth in the color, before giving it a really good dry.

I then grabbed a couple of Tracy Scott Mandala stencils and a makeup sponge and sprayed a little puddle and dipped my sponge into the ink and then sponged it through the stencil repeating the color until I was happy with what I saw.

I then cut the cards down to the ATC size, 2.5x3.5 inch and used Dark Room Door "Artist Palette" Stamps to add my final layer to the cards.

Here is another dip in and smoosh page using the Glossy Ink Sprays from a discarded piece from my book mark. I also used the same mandala stencil.

Well That's it from me, until next time!

'Splashes' with Lisa Amiet

Hello all!

It's Lisa here today to share some splishing and splashing with you.

I have finally decorated the cover of my art journal!!

I have used the KISS method (Keep It Simple Silly!)

So this is the large 'Dylusions Creative Journal',

I have first given it a few thick coats of 'Liquitex Gesso',

to seal it, and give me a nice clean white base for my colours to stand out.

I stood it up on my desk, I wanted it to be a landscape orientation.

I have then used my 'Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays' in

Fuchsia, Marine, Eggplant, Lemon & Turquoise, 

to spray and spill some colour,

letting them pool and drip.

I have then used an art journal sticker from the '13Arts Journey Stickers'

I love how the colours have blended and ran together in parts.

I also love how glossy these sprays are, no need for any gloss medium!

I have used another of the Journey Stickers on the bottom of the cover.

I have only done the first side so far,

but am planning on repeating it to the back sometime soon.

I hope you like what I have finally done to it.

Until next time!

Lisa

Using Sprays with Jen

Hi Everyone!

I’m here to show you my take on this month’s challenge. 

     (Thanks to all of the artists on Pinterest for sharing their work and inspiring us.)

I thought I would show you the difference between some of my favourite brands of sprays.  I’m using Dylusions Ink sprays, Ranger’s Distress Oxide sprays, Lindy’s (Stamp) Gang sprays and my new favourite, Dina Wakely’s Gloss sprays.

I started by cutting some watercolour paper into 10cm x10cm squares.  I’ve used the smooth side of the paper and sprayed two colours from each brand onto them.

I’ve used Dylusions’ Vibrant Turquoise and Rose Quartz.

Distress Oxide’s Mowed Lawn and Wilted Violet. I flicked the Wilted Violet over it.

Lindy’s Bachelor Button Blue and Autumn Maple Crimson (I love the names of their colours). I took a couple of photos to try and capture the shimmer. I'm not sure I succeeded.

And Dina’s Gloss sprays in Olive and Night. I flicked some White over it as well. (Isn't it delicious.)

I then cut out circles using a die and stuck them onto white card. I stamped some images from my Paperartsy stash and coloured a couple using Dylusions’ Rose Quartz, Cut Grass, Fresh Lime and Lemon Zest.

I cut them out and attached them to the cards along with some Tim Hotlz stickers and gold metallic thread. 

Dylusions Sprays.

Ranger's Distress Oxide Sprays.

Lind's Stamp Gang Sprays.

Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays.

They looked a little plain so I asked the rest of the Design Team for some suggestions and decided to add some lines on opposing corners. 

I really enjoyed playing with the Gloss sprays so I did another one using all the colours I had, (Olive, Night, White and Eggplant), but this time I used the rougher side of the watercolour paper.

 

I hope this has inspired you in some way.  Don’t forget to show us your creations on the Facebook page.  Add them to the Album and you’ll be in the draw for a chance at a prize.

I’ll be back later in the month to show you another of my creations.   Stay safe and be happy.

Jen.

Turn Mistakes into Beauty with Lisa Amiet

Hello all,

it's Lisa here today to share some inspiration with you. 

I have created this art journal page for this month's challenge

I have used the challenge as inspiration for this page.

I have started with a blank page in my art journal,

a quick coat of gesso to the page to seal it.

I have used my new 'Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays'

in Turquoise for the centre of the page, lots of sprays and splatters.

I have then used my Eggplant spray around the edge of the page.

Then I have used the White spray in the centre, as a base for my girl.

Once this had dried I used the 'Jane Davenport Faces Stamp',

to stamp her face out. 

It has heaps of options for different facial features, 

so I have stamped those also.

I have then used 'Dina Wakley Acrylic Paint in Lemon',

that I have watered down a little to give it some movement,

 and I have painted and dribbled her hair on. 

I have also used the 'Eggplant Spray' to paint her dress,

 and to colour her lips.

Lastly, I have used one of the quotes from the 'Dina Wakley Collage Words',

adhered to the top of my page.

I hope that you like what I have created,

 and that it inspires you to get a little messy this month!

Until next time!

Lisa
