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 + challenge June entry

Interesting challenge this month!

http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/june-challenge-its-puzzle.html

I bought a cheap children's jigsaw , and another ordinary jigsaw and put gesso over the back of them. when dry I coloured them with the Faber-Castell Gelato Elderberry

Then I mixed the gelato with Faber- Castell Whipped Spackle and stencilled onto the dry pieces to give added interest.

  

 

  

 The arrows are from scrapmatts, the wooden heart flourish from Kaisercraft, the little hearts are Dusty Attic and the title, which I coloured with the Elderberry gelato is Kazzazz.

The photo was taken at the Melbourne Zoo when my daughter and I had a holiday in Melbourne a number of years ago now.

 

 

 

Kraft+ May challenge

I was inspired by the hot air balloon tucked into the challenge picture! 

My mind went straight to my Blue Fern Studios Papers where I knew I had saved a  hot air balloon for an occasion such as this! I was also inspired by the colors.

cards

I had great fun making these cards. I embossed the stamps first and then coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Crayons. I scribbled the crayon on my non stick mat and lifted the color and applied with a water brush.

I was inspired by a class I had done taught by the talented Natalie May, where we used black embossing powder and Dylusions inks. I think they turned out pretty well!
