Moths

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using Bee Crafty's brand new Moths stamp with other products from my crafty stash. 

To begin I spritzer a hessian page in my Dina Wakley journal with scorched timber distress oxides spray.

Next I tore two vertical strips of the jumbled letters collage paper and used matte medium to glue them to the page. 

I tore two pieces of old paper and added them to the page.

Then I tore two pieces of the grid collage paper and added it to the page.

Next I tore out two of the words from the text collage collage paper and added them to the page.

Next I added a die cut Frame. I left the page to dry thoroughly.

I stamped the three largest Moths on to watercolour card using Versafine Clair nocturne. I coloured them with distress oxides and then cut them out.

I used matte medium to glue the Moths to the page, using blobs behind the largest to raise it off the page.

I then added the snip art trellis, tucking  one end under the wings of the raised moth.

Finally I coloured the back of the transparency print with a white posca pen, cut it out when it was dry and glued it to the page.

Dina Wakley Collage Papers

Hi everyone today I'm sharing an art journal page created using Dina Wakley collage papers. 

To begin I spritzed the page with waterand sprinkled 3 different pixie powders on it. I spritzed it a secknd time with water and left it to dry naturally.

Whilst it was drying I ripped a long, thin strip and two smaller rectangles of the grid collage paper. I also ripped a long strip of the jumbled alphabet collage paper. I then used matt medium to adhere them to the page.

When the matte medium was dry, I freehand stamped some of the script background stamp, from Bee Crafty, ising Versafine Clair nocturne ink. 

Using a damp paintbrush, I drew round one of the moths, from the Flying Things collage papers, and then carefully tore it from the sheet, following the water line. I used matte medium to adhere it to a piece of card. 

I edged this with a black pen before gluing it to the page. 

Finally, I added one of the wax seals that were in my homework pack from Leonie Pujol.

The White Rabbit Stamp Company

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using the new stamps from The White Rabbit Stamp Company with watercolour paints, acrylic markers and watercolour pencils. 

To begin, I created a watercolour wash background using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Pearl Colors paints. I then splatted the blue part with plain water to give the effect of clouds in the sky. Leave to dry.

On seperate card I stamped the house, flowers and snails. I coloured these with a mix of the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolours, Polychromos pencils, Personal Impressions watercolour pencils and Uhuhu acrylic markers. I then cut them out.

When the background was dry, I stamped the trees and pathway onto the page. I coloured these with the watercolour pencils, polychromos pencils and acrylic markers.

Next, I glued the house, flowers and snails to the page. I added scribbled grass under the trees using acrylic markers and white highlights using a thin posca pen.

Finally I stamped one of the sentiments on to the page using Versafine Clair nocturne ink.

Mushrooms

Hi everyone,  I really live mushrooms and when I saw TIMESTAMPS Creations new release, I just knew I had to combine them with Bee Crafty's mushrooms stamp set.

To begin I stamped two columns of the positive mushroom tile down a piece of craft card using portobello versafine clair ink. I then blended portobello ink around the edge of this strip.

Next I blended portobello ink around the three outer edges of my sketchbook page.

Next I glued the mushroom strip to the left hand edge of the page.

I then blended brushed corduroy distress oxide through Bee Crafty's metal work alpha inkable on to the right of the page.

Next I blended scorched timber distress oxide through the chevron texture disc from set 2 on to the page.

I stamped the circles border, from the mushroom stamp set around the edge of the page with portobello ink. 

Using the swirl stamp, from the mushrooms stamp set, with portobello ink, add to the corners and centre of the page.

On seperate card,  stamp two of each of the mushroom stamps with portobello ink. I coloured them in with Personal Impressions woodless watercolour pencils and posca pens, then cut them out.

Next I glued them to the page and added white pen work.

Finally I added two of the Autumn B Wordy sentiment stickers and added a white border and dots to them.

Nature Prints

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using Art Inspirations Nature Print Collection.

To begin, I cut my background puece to the correct size for my journal. It is a piece I created on my gelli plate using the Nature Prints Texture Element stencils with Fired Brick distress oxide ink.

Having cut my Leaf Fall stamp in to individual stamps, I stamped two of the smaller ones onto my background using spiced marmalade and gathered twigs distress oxide.

Next place the birds stencil over the stamped leaf area. Mask of the areas not needed and blend scorched timber distress oxide through the bird on a branch.

Carefully pisition the burd on a branch so that a second bird is sitting on the same branch as the first one. Mask off areas not needed and blend the same ink through the stencil.

Then add the other branch on the stencil several times on both edges of the card using brushed corduroy distress oxide, then edge the piece with scorched timber. 

Glue the piece into an art journal and add a sentiment from Claritystamps Word Sticker Collection by Leonie Pujol.
