Buddies having fun

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing another Guest Design Project for AALL & Create. I have made a journal spread this time. I started out with journalling and it is easily still my favourite thing to do. 

Here's how I made it:

I started off painting the pages. I used a lemon yellow for the left page and the same yellow and a green for the right page. I used a paint brush and partly my fingers for blending the yellow and the green. I then took a brayer and rolled over orange paint on the left edge and turquoise on the right, top and bottom edges. I then used a stencil with Distress Oxide ink and water and 'stamped' it in blue on the right and orange on the left.  

Next I stamped the pages randomly using similar coloured Versafine Clair inks. I also heat embossed the crossed with white powder for some more light and white on the pages. 

I then added some grey and black stamping. 

Next, I used Tracy's new alphabet stamps to spell the word 'fun', I did this straight on the page. Tip: put your lovely stamping blocks from AALL & Create under your page, makes it easier to stamp in a bulky journal. 

Next: I stamped these fab birds by Janet Klein. I coloured them with Copic Markers and cut them out. 

I then put it all together using some black paint on the edges here and there and adding the birds. I used some washi tape too. 

I have used the following stamps, stencil and washi tape:

Washi tape #2 - Inspire by Autour de Mwa

Washi tape #6 - Crafty by Autour de Mwa

Stencil #59 - Weathered Tiles by Autour de Mwa

Stamp #338 - Background Noise by Janet Klein
