Remember this

Hello everyone,

welcome to the second post this month for Country View Challenges. There is still time to play along with our challenge for February which is all about 'splatters, splashes and drips'.  Just make sure to read the rules first. You will find them and all the other information about it HERE.
I have made an art journal page for this but it was not without trouble. I couldn't seem to add any of the splatters as it all seemed to soak straight into the paper I used. But in the end you can see the splatters and some of the drips so it is all good.

Hello everyone,

and welcome to this blogpost for AALL & Create,  where today I have an art journal page to share.

I had so much fun making this because I love art journaling ..

Here's how I made it... 

I worked in my Moleskine watercolour journal. 

I decided to use acrylic paints because they are my favourite medium to use. 

When it was done I thought it was too bright so I toned it own with white. Next stamping... I used one of the fantastic A4 (!!) stamps. These are very versatile because you can use just bits of them which is exactly what it did. I used Distress Oxide inks to stamp.

Cool ! 

Next I used a stencil with modelling paste. 

I really love these little girls by Fiona so I had to use them again. I stamped them on gessoed book paper thinking I would leave them uncoloured.... 

Cute ! 

But then, I decided to colour them with my watercolour markers. 

When I was done colouring I added some black stamping with one of the sentiments and also some writing. I put the girls on washi tape and also added some balloons.. because balloons are happy, right?

I also had to do some splattering... lol

Here are some detail photos... 

I have used the following stamps:

#56 - Vintage Graffiti by Olga Heldwein

#83 - Lilith by Fiona Paltridge

#91 - Asher by Fiona Paltridge

#92 - Brinley by Fiona Paltridge

Stencil:

#22 by Autour de Mwa

Happy pills

Hello everyone,

and Happy Sunday ! Today I have an art journal page to share. I used another of those fabulous Vera Lane Studio Sets for this. Please meet Nurse Dee !

You probably wouldn't want to meet her though ! lol 

I painted the page with acrylic paints by PaperArtsy and then used two of Tim Holtz' stencils; one with white and one with black paint. I also did a little doodling around the edges, some splattering and I added some washi tape. When I was happy I adhered Nurse Dee and her X-ray viewer. Both images were coloured with Copic markers. The sentiment comes from the same set. 

You will find Nurse Dee HERE. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today ! 

A summer kinda girl

Hello everyone,

and welcome to a new challenge over at the Stampotique Designers' Challenge blog. The theme this week is Beach/sea. Why not play along with us and you might win a voucher to the store HERE.
Just make sure to read the rules first !!!
Here is my project :

This lovely girl is one of my favourite Stamptoque Stamps. She is called 'Beach Beauty'; isn't she fabulous... She was placed onto a gelli printed postcard after I stamped the background a little with "fax to Wolfgang" in white. I also splattered it with white ink. She was then stamped on the card and on some Designer paper with a little checked pattern. I coloured her lightly with Copic Markers, cut her out and adhered her onto the stamped image on the card. Lastly I added the sentiment and drew some lines around that and the edges of the card. 

As mentioned I used the following stamps:

Beach Beauty

Fax to Wolfgang
