More Than Words challenge Blogspot November 2016

http://morethanwordschallenge.blogspot.com.au/2016/11/november-2016-main-challenge-special.html

I had fun making an art journal spread with this challenge.

Something Old-
I used my Dylusions Ink Sprays- which I have had for a long time now.
I also used some Tim Holtz Tissue Paper that I have had for many years.
A Prima Julie Nutting Doll Stamp- again I have had for ages and rarely used
Old cardboard letters
also letters cut from an out of date  magazine

Something New -
 my new crafter's Workshop  stencil 456 (lines)
My new Kazzazz Alcoholic Markers which I recently won in a raffle
my new Carabelle Studios Art Stamps " Etiquettes Grunge"

Something Blue-
 Dylusions Sprays  London Blue  and Vibrant Turquoise

Something Borrowed-
 I borrowed ideas on building journal pages from a video( Mixed Media Art Journal Page Tutorial) by Tiffany Solorio on u tube ( found it on Pinterest!)

The word Special is incorporated into the pages in a phrase close to my heart.

I think I have covered the criteria!!

art journal play

more than words blog spot August challenge

http://morethanwordschallenge.blogspot.com.au

I thought I would do something different for me.

I played with my art journal creating a flower garden with friends walking through!

The colors are
Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals, Prima Donna Purple, Drop Dead Gorgeous Green and Sassy Sapphire
I stencilled ( Faber Castell Whipped Spackle)and stamped circles.(crafters workshop stencil,  2 different Scrapmatts stencils and and  an Indigo Blue bubbles rubber stamp)

 I mixed Faber Castell Glass Bead Glitter Gel with the Sassy Sapphire and stencilled circle centres in my flowers using the crafter's workshop stencil
The flower stamp is Stampin-Up.
 My friends are Dylusions Silhouette Ruby, initially stencilled with black gesso( a technique I learned from the lovely Rikki Grazziani)

 The friends stamp is Kazzazz( I think!)

Nearly walked away from this, but so glad I stuck with it!!- thanks Rikki for encouraging me to continue with it! I love how it has turned out!!

kraft plus + august 2016 challenge- Tassels

I made my own tassels thanks to Kraft + sharing a link and the dangly hearts stencil(Scrapmats) looked tassely!
