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 :)

'Count your Rainbows' by Lisa Amiet

Hello!

It's Lisa here today to share a layout I have created. 

I am in love with this month's challenge mood board,

I have created this with these colours in mind.

I have started with a white piece of cardstock for my base. 

I have sealed this with 'Liquitex White Gesso'.

I have then used some of my 

'Dylusions Inks' in 'Postbox Red', 'Lemon Zest' and 

'Squeezed Orange'. 

I have dried this with a heat gun, moving it around as it dries. 

I have also added in a little 'Distress Oxide Spray - Picked Raspberry'.

I have then used my '7 Dots Studio Paint Chips Hatched Stencil' 

and baby wipes to remove a small amount of colour in the stencil areas.   

I have then used the same stencil and 'Finnabair's Light Paste' to stencil onto my page.

I love how the light paste is able to show some of the colour under it. 

I have then added in some stamping, I have used my '7 Dots Studio Hazy Days Clear Stamps' and

'7 Dots Studio Paint Chips Clear Stamps' along with 'Distress Ink Pad - Picked Raspberry'

and my trusty 'Ranger Archival Ink - Black', to stamp randomly over my base page. 

I have then adhered pieces of the '7 Dots Studio Papers - Underpaper' & 'Razzleberry'.

I have also adhered pieces of the 'Paint Chips Element Stickers' 

and the 'Paint Chips Die Cut Elements'.

I have then added some pieces of 'Paint Chips Glaze' paper, 

again layered with some of the 'Paint Chips Element Stickers' 

I have then used some of the 'Embossed Lace Paper - Duchese',

that I have scrunched up and layered 2 pieces, behind my photo matt.

I have used a piece of the 'Paint Chips - Clover' paper to matt my photo. 

I have then added some more of the 'Paint Chips Die Cut Elements' & 'Paint Chips Word Stickers' on my page. 

To finish I have added one of the 'Dyan Reaveley's Dyslusions Creative Dyary Back Chats' stickers and some of the Finnabairs 'Mechanicals Metal Embellishments - Stars',

scattered over my page. 

I hope that you like what I have created and

that you get a chance to play along with the challenge. 

Until next time!

Lisa
