Stash buster art journal page.

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this art journal page using lots of products from my crafty stash.

To begin, I used matte medium to glue an old technical manual book page to a page in my 11 x 11 Pink Pig art journal. 

I then rubbed festive berries distress oxide directly on to Art Inspirations Autumn stencil, spritzed with water and pressed it down on to the page.

Next, I coloured the Samantha K Geo Circles chipboard piece with iced spruce distress ink. I left this to dry.

I cut out part of an old Simplicity Sewing Pattern and using the arrows from the Dylusions Dyalog Border-it stencil with iced spruce distress ink I added arrows to the pattern piece.

On separate card,  I stamped Bee Crafty's Doodle Art Cone Flower using Versafine Clair nocturne ink.  I coloured it with distress inks.

Then I cut it out.

I also chose a piece of mirror ribbon, a different old book page and some black sisal to add to the page.

I used matte medium to glue these to the page.

I blended festive berries distress ink around the edge of the old book page.

Next I added the cone flower, using matte medium. 

Finally I added a sentiment from the Words Stickers by Leonie Pujol.

Mixing Old and New

Hi everyone today I'm sharing an art journal page created using the brand new stamps and stencil from Louise Simms and Art Inspirations and older Shady Designs by Louise Sims stamps and stencils. I know when Lou designed the new stamps she hoped they would work with her older ones and I think I've proved they do.

To begin with, I added three areas of peeled paint distress oxide and then added three areas of salty ocean distress that overlaped the peeled paint.

Next, I blended peeled paint through the Squared Up stencil then I spritzed the stencil and dubbed it on to the page. I also blended salty ocean through the Moroccan Trellis stencil. 

Then, I blended black soot distress oxide through the Film Strip stencil.

I, then, blended peeled paint through the hanging garden stencil.

After that,  I  stamped the Be A Square stamp using Salty Ocean distress oxide. 

I stamped the hanging garden stamp using peeled paint distress oxide. 

Next, I stamped all the images using Versafine Clair twilight ink. I coloured them with Kuretake Zig Clean Colour pens, then cut them out. 

Then, I added them to the page using foam tape on some and tucking others under them.

Finally, I added a sentiment from the Be Not Afraid paper pad.

Be Not Afraid

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using one of the brand new stamp sets from Louise Sims and Art Inspirations. 

To begin, I stamped, using versamark ink, the film cells and flowers stamp, twice on the page in my dylusions journal. I added silver embossing powder and heat set. 

I, then, painted the flowers and leaves with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Pearl Colors watercolour paints. 

Next, I glued a strip of torn book page across the centre of the stamped image.

Then, I added some cream sisal.

After that, I added a puece of blue mirrored ribbon.

Then, I added a piece of flower ribbon vertically to the page.

Finally, I added one of Clarity's Word Sticker sentiments by Leonie Pujol.
