Kaboom

 Hello everyone, 

Today I have a YouTube video to share. I am making an art journal page. 

I made this page in a square 8 x 8 Dylusions journal. The girl is a collage image from a book called 'Extraordinary Things to cut out and collage' by Maria Rivans. I really like this book  because sometimes I don't fancy colouring in a stamped image so this is easy. 

The background was made with Distress Oxide Inks and a 6 x 6 gelli plate. This gives a nice border all around. I used a red rubber stamp for the grey words the background; it was given to me and I have no idea what brand it is but I really like it. The stars etc. came from a very old clear stamp set by 'Walzing Mouse' called 'Kaboom'. I made up the sentiment with clippings stickers. 

Anyway if you want to watch the video it is HERE on my YouTube Channel.

Enjoy watching ! Thank you for stopping by today ! 

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone,

Happy Thursday ! For today's post for Vera Lane Studio I have made a postcard and a mini journal page. 

This cutie is from the newly released set called "Learn to fly". I coloured her with my Copics and cut her out. I made the background with one of Janet's stencils for AALL & Create and Distress Oxide inks. 

You'll find Learn to fly HERE.

This mini journal was made with a gelli print. I printed, coloured and cut out the moose and the tree. I glued them onto my print and added (the slightly changed) sentiment. 

You'll find the 'Moose Hunt' HERE

 Hello everyone,

Happy Thursday! For today's projects I have a mini journal page and an ATC.

This little gardening girl is from a new set that came out this week. It is called 'Jardin'. I coloured her, cut her out and placed her on a simple watercolored background. 

You'll find her HERE

This ATC was made with an image from the 'Off Vera Lane' collage sheet. I just found a suitable already coloured ATC from my stash and added more paint and heat embossing. I then glued her and the clouds on the card. The sentiment is a snarky sticker by Tim Holtz. 

You'll find this collage sheet HERE.

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

I have 2 projects to share today, both for Vera Lane Studio. It is a journal page and a postcard. 

This AJ page was made with a gelliprint from my stash. I added white embossing with an AALL & Create background stamp and then put this nerdy girl on the top. I added some of Janet's new washi tape (AALL & Create) and a small talk sticker. 

You'll find this girl in the set called 'Specs Appeal' HERE

This postcard was made with one of the Flowergirls from the 'Flower girls' collage set. I made the background by dunking a piece of paper into Distress Oxide ink and water. I used Spices Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon. I then brayer-ed over white paint. I added some of Janet's new washi tape (AALL & Create) and some small talk stickers. 

You'll find these lovely girls HERE.

Usual Suspect

Hello everyone,

For today's VivaLasVegaStamps! DT post I have made a mini journal page.

And here's how In made it:

I tore a page out of my journal and cut is slightly smaller. I coloured it with Distress Oxide Inks by dunking it in pools of ink and water. Drying in between layers. I then sprayed water over it and dried again. Next I did some stamping in the same colours. 

Next step: Adding some stencilling with an UmWow stencil and white paint. I also drew around the hearts with a white paint pen and added some splatters. 

I thought it needed some black so I added more stamping. That was my background done. 

I stamped this doggie and coloured him with my Copics. I only added shading because I wanted him to be a white dog. 

I adhered him on the page and added some washi tape for him to sit on. The sentiment was added and doodled around. Lastly I glued the page back into my journal. 

I have used the following stamps:

19563 - Grunge circles

4714 - Dog sitting

19748 - Evidence label

18959 - the usual suspects

Other materials:

Distress Oxides:

Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmelade, Chrushed Olive and Broken China. 

UmWow stencil : Chunky Heart

Versafine Clair ink. 

Copic Markers 

washi tape
