Art Journal page: We're all mad here

Last night I played around in my art journal. This was a quick page. I didn't film this one.  I used Dylusions paint Vibrant Turquoise, Bubble Gum Pink and Fresh Lime (trying to use these paints up before they get too thick and gummy and not usable. I already had to toss 3 jars out.) I used some washi tape from Michaels. I went around the edges of the page with a gelto. and parts of the Tsum Tsum 2018 calendar I got at the 99 cent store. The letters for from my stash.

VLVS! March Challenge: I see no Humans.

New Mood board challenge over at the Viva Las VegaStamps! blog. Here is my submission for the challenge.

I started out using black gesso from DecoArt Media. I then used Crushed Grape and Fresh Lime Dylusions paint. I used Picked Fence Distress paint with the Squiggly star collage . I cleaned the stamp right after using it.I stamped the Wildflowers silhouette and Banksy Dorothy and Toto being searched n tissue paper. I tore and cut them out. Glued them with matte medium. I then used Brushed pewter on top and sprayed water and let the color drip. I stamped the I see no humans on tissue paper. and glued that on the page. I finally used Gelatos in Kiwi and Raspberry on the edges of the page.

Viva LAs VegaStamps! monthly challenge: The greater the storm

I'm a little late for posting for this months Viva Las VegaStamps! inspiration board challenge. It was all about bright bold colors. For me that meant taking out the  few Dylusions paints I have and play in my junk mail art journal that I made.

I used the Bubble gum pink Dylusions paint. This paint was one from a bad batch, its a little think, but wanted to use it up. Then I used Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions paint with the Wheelie mask from UmWowStudio. I used a polka dot stencil from Heidi Swap with the Crushed Grape Dylusion paint. The last stencil I used was brick type stencil that a friend cut out for me. with Americana Citron Gren.

Once dried I stamped the Sky of stars background on the page. I stamped Banksy Rain under umbrella on to the page, then on a piece of white cardstock. cut the girl and the umbrella out and glued them on the page. I stamped Banksy Girl Floating with Balloons on tissue paper and glued her on with Matte Medium.

On scrap cardstock I stamped out the sentiment "The Greater your Storm..." Before putting it on the page. I took the cut Grass dylusion spray and splattered it on the page. I then stamped single star a few times on the page. I then cut out the words apart in the sentiment and glued them on the page. I took my black Stabilo All pencil and went around the words.  The last thing I did I took a Gelato in Metallic Icing  and went around the page with it. I then took my finger to smooth it out. 

fall/Halloween postcard swap

This past fall I participated in another swap over at the VLVS! Groupies facebook group. The swap was postcards with a fall/Halloween theme. I chose to do a Halloween theme.

I started out taking some photo paper(pacts that you get free when you buy printer ink) I first played with alcohol ink, but wondered how Dylusions spray would react to the photo paper.Its awesome on photo paper! The paper does get tacky while the spray is wet, but once its dry its fine. The color are so bright and vibrant on the paper. After it was dried. I took a spider web that I cut out on my Cameo. and used Spackle through the die cut. I knew the spray would come through., and I was fine with that. 

While that was drying I stamped the Skeleton family, the all day sucker on white card stock with black archival ink pad. I colored the sucker with Be Positive Glimmer glam from Tatter Angels. Fussy cut the skeletons out (no one was harmed while doing that) and the sucker. Glued the sucker to the hand of the main guy. Then glued tat to the post card. I then stamped the bats on to the postcard. Finally I printed a couple of signs that are a wingding. Colored them in color pencils in a orange and yellow. glued that on the page. Then added some crackle accents to the signs.

Coffee Coffee Coffee

In September a Hobby Lobby not to far from my house opened. I didn't get there til a couple weeks ago. Its Huge! I did a quick look around and the only thing I got was the On the Go texture fade. I came home and made a card.

I did a technique that Jennifer McGuire did a month a so ago, but instead of using Distress ink pads I used Dylusions paints in Bubble gum pink and Vibrant Turquoise. I wanted to see ho the technique did with paint. After I put the paint down I brushed on pewter Perfect Pearls. Then I placed the cardstock in the texture fade and ran it through the big shot. 

I stamped the Julie Nutting doll on book paper colored her with Neo Color 2's and then dressed her in scraps. I took a piece of cardstock that I had dragged Dylusions ink a while back and ran the texture fade in the big shot. I cut a coffee cup out and glued it to her. A morning without coffee sentiment is from Viva Las VegaStamps! After that was put together I put the piece on a white card base.

Everyone wants a Pumpkin Spice Latte

I've been sick almost all last week with a stomach bug.So I haven't done any art for a while. Yesterday was the first time I did anything since was sick (well beside Sunday at Art Journal class with DeeDee. LOL) I did a journal page in my Dylusion Journal for October's inspiration board challenge on the VLVS! Blog.

I started the page with using a piece of 12 x 12 that I used to cut with my Cameo donuts. I thought the circles would make a cool stencil so I kept it and that's what I used for the page. I used the Squeezed Orange Dylusions spray. I then took Gathered Twig Distress ink pad and a foam applicator and put ink between the circles and on the edges. then I took my spray bottle and sprayed the page. Left it sit for a few seconds then took a paper towel and blotted the water off. I did that a couple times. I let that sit to dry.

I stamped Humpty Dumpty on cardstock with black archival ink pad. Colored him with pearlesent water colors. Set him to dry. 

After the page dried I stamped the brick background stamp with the Gather Twig distress ink pad.  I then took the brick stencil from UmWowStudio placed it in the corner of the page. I used DecoArt Black molding paste. Then I let it sit to dry. After it dried I used the Tree Background  and black archival ink pad and stamped the tops of the stamp on the top of the brick wall ( I tried to cover u a boo boo with the texture paste. lol) I also used the spiked fence stamped at the side of the brick wall. To compete the scene I used the flock of bats, full moon and the hang on witch stamps. 

I thought Humpty need to hold something and I saw one of the coffee to go cups that I cut on my Cameo. I colored the sleave with orange gel stick by Faber-Castell. Then pieced it together and glued it to Humpty. Then put him on the great wall. Lastly I wrote out the sentiment for the page on white cardtock and black pen.  Cut and glued on page and went around them with my black Stabilo pencil.

Journal pages

So hare are a few more pages I've done in my small Dylusion art journal. I'm almost done with this journal. :)

This was apart of a challenge/homework from Dar. The theme of the week was Women in History. When she gave the theme I knew what I wanted to do. The picture of Anne is from the Life Magazine book I got from my library book sale. I colored her skin with Neo color 2's. 

I staarted out with drawing and coloring the girl with neo 2's. Then everyone in my group had gotten these cards from Kiala Givehand. Dede did a poster based on the cards she drew. I wrote them down since I don't have the deck of cards. (sorry I think $15 is a bit much for a deck of cards. ) So one of the prompts that Dede drew was draw something. Well I already drew something so I did the rest of the prompts on this page. Don't ask what the other prompts were, I don't remember, Don't have the paper any more. lol

Love how she turned out.

Another Dar homework/challenge theme was Fire. The flames are from MFT rockstar die set. I colored some book paper with dylusions sprays in bubble gum pink and lemon zest. The "scream" and the words are from a napkin. 

This was another Dar Homework. theme was trees. The background was napkins that i glued down with paper mache glue that i made from Soul food lesson I did. After it dried I traced the tree mask and painted it pink. Go Figure! out lined the tree and broken hearts in brown sharpie marker. I then took a metalic blue gel stick and went over the page to highlight the texture the napkins gave with the glue. The quote I did with my Dymo labeler 

This page I was playing around and used the rest of the book pages that i didn't use after i die cut the flames.

Journal pages

I've done quite a few pages in my small Dylusions Art Journal. Not going to go into detail, just going to show the pictures. :)
