After the rain

 Hi everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a journal page with products by Bipasha Bk. 

Here's how:

This fab washi tape by Bipasha is perfect for making your own ephemera. I just stick it on tissue paper and cut around it. 

I made a stencil print with this stencil and Distress Oxide ink. 

Next I stamped the background with the same pink in and some yellow and black. 

The focal image was then stamped, coloured and cut out. I used a combination of watercolours and pencils. 

I also stamped it onto the page. I now can glue the mushrooms over the top.

Mushrooms in place, I then added pieces of my 'ephemera'. 

I used some of Tim Holtz' clippings stickers for the sentiment. Lastly I matted the page on black card stock. 

I have used the following products, all by Bipasha:

Washi tape #74 - Booming Splodge

Stencil #147 - Coffee Stains

Stamps:

#1077 - Toad In The Gnome 

#383 - Scripted Hexagons

#443 - Scripted Circles

#457 - Background Voices

This week at Vera Lane Studio

Hello everyone,

It is my turn to show you some inspiration with the lovely digital images from Vera Lane Studio. I love the because they are so versatile. I love colouring too and these are great for that.
For today I have made an art journal, an ATC, and an ATC Coin.

This AJ was great fun to make. I put some paper under the pages to protect anything underneath while I painted the pages with gesso. I noticed that the magazine pages I used for this had nice pink stripes so I tore them off and used them for collage! Next I added book text pieces and then knocked it back with more gesso. I then added the stencilling with Distress Oxide Ink and put down some black and white washi tape. I also added some stamping (the little black dots) and a doodle line along the pages. This little Dilly girl was then put on the left page. She was coloured with Copics. Lastly I added the sentiment which is a sticker by Tim Holtz. 

You'll find Dilly HERE

This ATC was made with a piece of pattern paper. I added some more of it down the bottom where I also adhered the sentiment from the set. The little pirate was coloured with Copics and adhered onto the card.

This little parrot is from the same Pirate set. I coloured him on holiday with watercolours. I added a swirl to put him on. The sentiment is a sentence out of a book. The coin itself was cut out of a gelli print.

Hello everyone,

Over at Stampotique it is 'Word Up' weekend and I made a quick journal page for this.

The background is made with watercolours and a doily stencil over top. I did do a little background stamping but not much. I added some white splatters and then I stamped Uncle Buck on white card stock, coloured him with Copic Markers and cut him out. I adhered him to my page after I put some washi tape down for him to stand on. The sentiment I am showcasing is one of my favourites ! 

I have used the following stamps:

Uncle Buck

Goody, goody gumdrops!
