Together - art journal page by Lynn

Hi everyone, Lynn back here to share my second art journal page that I have created for this months challenge/moodboard.

In case you havent seen it yet - this is the moodboard:

Isn't it gorgeous, and aren't the artists amazing!! They certainly get the ideas flowing.

(all art images found on pinterest)

    I have created this page:

If you had seen my previous art journal blog you will remember that I created a "mop up" page with the excess paint - well i have turned that page into the houses.

Here is a pic from the previous post - i have used the piece on the right

I have used a circle stencil from Darkroom Door (any circle stencil will work) and with a fine black pen have drawn in some circles.

I have then doodled in and around the circles with a white and black Posca pen.

I have then drawn some house shapes and cut them out

Using Dylusion Paint pens I have drawn in windows and doors etc.

In my Dylusion Art Journal book I have created the background page.  I have used Distress Oxide - Salty Ocean, Stormy Sky, Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn, Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover.

I placed the ink pad directly onto the page and stayed with water enable them to move when wiped with a brush

I have spritz the page with water diluting the colour where the drops land.

I have arranged the houses in an order that I liked and adhered them with Matte Medium.

I needed to ground the houses so drew in some paths and a road with a Stabilio black pencil which activates with water.

I have used a cloud stencil and Dina Wakley Gloss Spray - White to add some clouds to the top of the page.  I have then gone around the edges of the clouds with blue coloured pencil.

I thought the paths needed some grass so I have used some green gelatos to create the effect of grass around the path and houses.

Finally I decided that people were needed to added some girls that I cut from a very old Prima Stamp "Bloom" and coloured with flourescent coloured pencils.

The saying was a word sticker in the Fiona Paltridge Strength in Numbers Collection - I cut out the word "together" and replaced it with one that had a bigger font as I wanted to highlight that word.

Here are some close ups;

I hope that you have been inspired to have a go - I cant wait to see all the houses that everyone creates.

Don't forget to upload to the Scrap Matrix Shares page on facebook to be in the chance to win a voucher to spend in the store.

Until next time 

Happy Crafting :)

'Discover New Paths' with Lisa Amiet

Hello all!

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

This month we are celebrating and honouring our fabulous 

Tammy!

I fall in love with very new piece of art that Tammy creates!

I just love her fabulous use of colour and all the bold awesome layers. 

I have created an art journal page inspired by Tammy,

but I really haven't pulled it off lol.

I have started with a coat of 

'Dina Wakley Acrylic Paint' in Lemon for a nice bright base. 

I have then used my '7Dots Studio Triangles Stencil' and

'Distress Ink in Picked Raspberry' and I have blended through in random areas. 

Next, I have used the 'Painterly Flower Stamp' from Art by Marlene,

with Distress Inks in 'Picked Raspberry & Mowed Lawn'.

I have then used some of the stamps from the 'Paper Artsy ETS02 Stamp Set'.

I have used a mis of Distress Inks in 'Picked Raspberry, Dusty Concord, Mowed Lawn & Peacock Feathers', for a multi-coloured effect.

To finish I have used some of the '13Arts Journey Word Stickers' and

'13Arts Marta's Small Messages' stickers.

I hope you like what I have created. 

It's certainly bright lol

Until next time!

Lisa

Summer Blooms

Hi!

  Today I've got three cards for you using the Colours of Summer theme.

 

Summer seems to be filled with birthdays to me.  

A lot of my favourite people seem to be born during these months. 

I'm constantly making cards, (and attending celebrations), so I thought I make some using the bright colours from Ranger's Distress Inks and Paperartsy's JOFY large blooms.

So this is what I used:

Card Blanks

White Cardstock

Paperartsy Stamps - JOFY 71, JOFY 72, JOFY 73 

Paperartsy Stencil - PS139

Distress Inks (DI) - Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed, Squeezed Lemonade

Archival Ink - Jet Black, Library Green

Ink blending Tools 

Embossing Ink

Gold Embossing Powder

Coloured Pencils

White Posca Pen

Black Pen

Firstly I blended my DI inks onto the cardstock then stamped my chosen designs with Jet Black. (Of course I forgot to take photos of this step.)  I added details with my pencils and the Posca pen and black pen.

 

I next chose my two favourite DI greens and blended these onto another piece of cardstock. Grabbing the stencil, I blended Salty Ocean over it .  I stamped one design in Library Green randomly over the cardstock.  I stamped the second design with embossing ink and covered it with embossing powder. Heated it with a heat gun to set it.

I trimmed the paper into several sizes and attached them to the card blanks.   I used a black pen to trace around the pieces to add some definition.  I cut out my petals and centres and glued them to the cards, (using 3D foam for the centres).

So that's it.  Three simple cards for Summer.  I hope you all get to spend some time in your craft rooms.  It's a great way to relax. 

I'm off to another celebration.  I hope they like the card I made. 😄

'Believe' Art Journal Page Tracy Scott

Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share some inspiration for this month's challenge!

This month is

I was so excited about this month's challenge as I am in love with Tracy Scott,

 and her fabulous products.

This is what I have created

I have started with a page in my 'Dylusions Creative Journal - Large',
and I have used the 'Grungy Grid Stencil from Finnabair',
and I have applied some 'Distress Oxide in Broken China' with a 'Blending Tool' 

I have then blended using my '7 Dots Studio Droplets Stencil',

and 'Distress Ink in Mustard Seed' .

The next layer was using the '7 Dots Studio Cargo Letters Stencil',

and 'Distress Ink in Black Soot'.

I have then again used the 'Grungy Grid Stencil' with 'Modelling Paste', randomly over my page. 

I like to double up with the same stencil, 

as it gives more depth and texture without losing the pattern.

Next I have used some sprays on my page.

I have used some Lindy's in 'Clam Bake Beige', 'Sassy Sapphire' 

Up next is some stamping, using my 'AAll & Create #3' 

and '7Dots Studio Northern Lights Clear Stamps',

and Distress Inks in 'Weathered Wood' and 'Wilted Voilet' 

Next I have used my feature stamp from the

'Paper Artsy Eclectica ET502 Stamps' by Tracy Scott. 

I have used my 'Ranger Archival Ink' to stamp them out, 

as I will be adding more liquid to my page. 

I have then started to add some colour to my stamped images,

 painting them, using a variety of mediums. 

I have used a 'Dylusions spray in Lemon Zest'. 

I have also used some Lindy's Sprays in 'Shabby Turbine Teal'

I have also used some Distress Inks,

that I have watered down on my messy mat,

in 'Picked Raspberry', 'Spiced Marmalade',

and 'Wilted Violet'.

I am in love with these bubbles! 

I really wanted to have lots of bright fresh colours in them.

I have added some more of the 'Sassy Sapphire'. 

Oh bubble heaven! 

I am really happy with how this page turned out. 

I love the effect of the liquid mediums with these bubbles. 

I hope you like what I have created. 

Until next time!

'Chase the Sun' with Lisa Amiet

Hello all!

It's Lisa here today to share my latest art journal page

for this month's 'Art Foamies' challenge!

'Chase the Sun'

Now before I tell you how this page came about,

I have to tell you that I'm not a huge fan of this page, 

everything went a bit pear shaped lol.

I have used my 'Dylusions Creative Journal - Large' and I have started with a

coat of 'Paper Artsy Fresco Finish - Pumpkin Soup' paint. 

I have then added another coat, but while it was still wet, 

I used a scrunched up piece of paper to remove some of the paint. 

I have then used my '6x6 Dreamscapes Triangle Stencil' from 7 Dots Studio, 

to lightly ink through with a 'Blending Tool' and 'Distress Ink - Peeled Paint'.

Next is where things changed a bit. I have used my 

'13 Arts Rainbow Color' in Navy Blue,

I have added some water and let the colour flow over my page. 

Once dried I changed it again. I just wasn't feeling it. 

I have used my 'Red Tin Roof Doily #4 Large' stencil, 

and white gesso to sponge through the stencil. 

 

I have then added some doodles to my doilies. 

I have then added a leaf sticker from the 

'Pinkfresh - Escape the Ordinary Chipboard Stickers'.

I have then stamped out some flowers,

 using my 'Art Foamies Art by Marlene Poppy - Small',

and 'Distress Inks' in 'Rusty Hinge' and 'Peeled Paint'. 

I have added a word sticker from 'Pinkfresh Boys Fort Element Stickers'.

I have then used my 'Art Foamies Balzer Leaf Vine Small' and 

'Distress Inks' in 'Mowed Lawn', 'Spiced Marmalade' and 'Faded Jeans'

I have cut them all out and layered them down the left side of my page. 

I have then used more of the chipboard stickers

 from the 'Pinkfresh Escape the Ordinary' collection, 

and a 'Pinkfresh Escape the Ordinary Fabric Diecut' arrow layered over my page. 

I have then used my 'Art by Marlene Storms Don't Last' stamps to stamp in 

'Distress Ink Faded Jeans'. I have cut it out and added it to my page. 

I really love the colour scheme of this page, 

but it didn't turn out quite like I had planned, but that's half the fun!

I hope that you get a chance to have an experiment today,

and that this inspires you.

Until next time!
