Sending sunny thoughts..

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project, I have made an artjournal page with all Bipasha products. 

Here's how I made this: 

First of all I stamped the mug and the sunflowers on watercolour paper. 

While my stamping was drying I added texture paste through this stencil onto my background which is Mixed media paper. 

When the texture paste was dry I sprayed the page with a Dylusions Ink spray. I haven't used these for ages and I wanted this colours. It is Calipso Teal. 

After it dried I used a brayer and white paint to tone it all down and grunge it up a little.

Next I watercolored the flowers and the mug and cut them out. 

This is what I had in mind. 

Before I added the stamping I added some Inktense pencil around the texture paste circles. It makes them stand out a little more. I used a bit of green and a bit of blue. I then added stamping with yellow, brown and black ink and went around the edges of the page with the brown ink pad. 

I also splattered onto the page with a white, black and yellow paint pen. I love how grungy it looks now. 

Next I added washi tape and placed the mug with flowers on the top to ground it. I also added some washi tape in the left hand top corner for balance. 

Lastly I added the sentiment. 

I have used the following AALL & Create products (all by Bipasha Bk):

Washi tape #24 - Power Words

Stencil #147 - Coffee Stains

Stamps:

#647 - Basic Tags

Edison's latest wonder

Hello everyone,

welcome to my blogpost for AALL & Create for which today I have made an art journal page. I have used all Bipasha Bk stamps and some old favourite materials to make the background and to colour the images.

and here's how:

First I stamped the bits and pieces of the stamp sets that I wanted to use to collage. I didn't use everything in the end. 

I wanted to use the pylon from this set so I stamped it on tissue paper so I could cut out exactly the part I wanted and glue it where I wanted without it being visible. 

I chose the lightbulb moment stamp to use as a base for my page and stamped it on a square piece of card stock.

I added the pylon on the left and added some of the wires at the top with a black pen. I then sealed everything with clear gesso.  I used Dylusions ink sprays to colour my background. I did use a brush to put it on though. After it dried I used a brayer and white acrylic paint to roll over some of the colour and tone it down. I did some more of that later. I also used a white pen and added some detail and some splatters. 

Next I coloured the collage pieces; these were also painted with clear gesso so I could use my Big Brush Markers by Faber Castell to colour them. 

Here is the finished piece. I added more white details and splatters, glued my collage pieces in place and replaced the protractor with a lightbulb. The eye and both lightbulbs big and small have glossy accents on them so they are nice and shiny. I still wasn't happy though and decided at the last minute to add some modelling paste through a stencil. I had to brayer over some white paint though as Dylusions keep coming through everything and I ended up with yellow and blue modelling paste. 

I have used the following stamps:

#227 - Masculine Miscellaneous by Bipasha Bk

#228 - Phonebox and Phonelines by Bipasha Bk

#23 by Bipasha Bk

Stencil:

#27 by Karen Haselden

Imagine it

Hello everyone, 

I was asked to make some samples for the Hochanda TV shows of AALL & Create on April 3rd and of course I made some. It is so satisfying to see your samples on TV! 

Today I am sharing a postcard I made. 

Here's how:

After I coloured a piece of watercolour card stock with Distress Oxide inks, I put this stencil on it and sprayed it with the White Linen Dylysions spray and I was chuffed with the result. 

Next I stamped the background randomly with this stamp and black and blue inks. 

I stamped the robot on the card and on a piece of white card stock using a stamping tool. I left the card stock in place, painted him with silver paint and re-stamped. 

I added some details with a blue metallic pen and coloured the rest of him with Copic Markers. I also added a doodle line along the edges and the sentiment from the set. 

I have used the following stamps: 

#188 - Robot

#146 - Kings & Queens

stencil:

#50 - Little tribe
