Art journal pager: Follow your Bliss

Looking at the Moodiversary board, one of the pictures was a door. Looking at my stash I had some sheets of paper with doors from the Architexture line from 7gypsies. So I thought I would do something with that.

I used the Creative Notebook also from 7gypies in the new Architexture line. I've been using it as a left over journal, for when there is left over paints and sprays. This page had already had the pink and the yellow on it. I added another stencil from UmWowStudio, with Vibrant Turquoise Dylusion paint. I outlined some of the diamonds with a white pen.I used  couple of VLVS! rubber stamps. I then glued one of the doors from the scrapbook paper .I had a piece of the birds on a wire chipboard piece from UmWowStudio. I painted the birds yellow. Glued that doen. I  found a quote and used the stabil all black pencil around the words.

ICAd Day 58

I hope to do a slide show post of the ICADS I did for this year at the end. I have done videos for all most all of them every day Ok I will confess, I have been doing them in bunches ahead of time, then edit and then scheduling them for the day they are to be up. Saves headaches of ding one a day and rushing to get it edited and up at the day they are to go up. I don't think i would be doing it then, takes the un out of it for me, thou that is the idea doing a card every day.

Anyway onto the ICAD!

I used the colors that are in the mixed media mood boards (well as close as I could. ) The background is a like a stencil. Its from recollections, part of their Bohemien collection. I got it last year. It comes in 5x7 pad, i got the pad to use as stencils. It was on my desk so I deiced to glue it to an index card. Added some gesso to parts and then color. I used the giraffe chipboard piece  from UmWowStudio. Painted him up. then stamped a couple sentiments from Viva Las VegaStamps!

Art journal page:Don't waste to be normal

My poor blog has been neglected. I've really been concentrating with my YouTube channel.  I hope to do better to keep my blog up to date.

This month is the one year anniversary for Mix Media Mood board FB group run by DeeDee Catron and Mixed Media Jen. Its a whole month celebration and a huge mood board of inspiration. I'm planning on linking up plenty of projects, but we'll see if I do.

Here is my first project, an art journal page in my junk journal.

I had glued own some medical gaze on the the envelop and picked 2 of the colors of the mood board Desert Turquoise and Citron Green.  I stamped a couple of stamps from Viva Las VegaStamps! I sprayed Tattered Angles Glimmer Mist It's Black through a Andy Skinner stencil. I stamped the Dyan Reavly stamp onto Mixed media paper and colored with sharpies. Glued her on the page and then stamped a sentiment stamp from Viva Las VegaStamps!

VLVS! may challenge: Look Mum

So new month...okay 13 days into a new month,. and a new monthly challenge over on the VLVS! blog. I deiced to play this month. I did a small page in my junk journal. It was rough start, but I liked how it came out in the end.

I had started out by gluing some lace trim onto the envelope(I glued trim to some other pages in my junk journal that day.) a few days before just because. I had also put down some blue craft paint on the page, as I had little of that paint left.  When I went to pick a page to do for the challenge I chose this one. When I first started working on the page,  I used some America craft paint in turquoise on the page. Then added some grays and a stencil. I  did some stamping and stuff, the page was too dark, and I wasn't happy. 

So out came the white paint and painted over everything again. I did use big bubble wrap and the turquoise paint, but wasn't getting the effect I wanted. the bubbles weren't showing up. I have this 12x12 sheet of circles from when I used my silhouette I used that with the turquoise and graphite craft paints(both by Americana). While those were drying  stamped the Dali image and the sentiment on a piece of index card. Glued them to the page. I took a turquoise Neo ii and painted his spray can. I liked how this came out much better.

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.

Canvas Corp Brand Crew: Hearts will never be practical postcard

Happy Valentines day! Or as I like to call it Happy single awareness day! I tried to make a anti-Valentine's day postcard, but I don't know if it actually is. lol

I started out with the black and ivory postcard from Canvas Corp. It actually comes in a 12x12 sheet with 6 postcards on a 12z12. I gave the postcard a good spray of the Chalkboard Polka dot pink (yes I do have some other colors of tattered angles besides this one But not many. I need more! LOL) When that was dry I used DecoArt Media black gesso and black texture paste with a hear stencil. I didn't get a nice and crisp when lifting the stencil ff the postcard, but I'm going with it.

While that was drying I went looking for anti-valentine day sentiments/quotes. This one is from the "Wizard of Oz" I printed it out and glued it on the postcard once everything was dried. It needed something else So I did some splots with Lady bug Glimmer glaze and black High Impact pint. I also went around the edge of the postcard with the black.

Canvas Corp Brand: Friendship gives you wings

Its almost Valentines day and  though I'm not big fan on the day, I made a tag using Tatter Angles and Canvas Corp brand products. 

I got a tag out of my stash. I took my Fiskars cutting mat and sprayed some Polka dot pink Chalkboard and Sterling Glimmer mist by Tattered Angles on to the mat (the smooth side) I took the tag and dragged through the ink. I let it dry for a few minutes. I then took a UmWowStudio heart stencil and sprayed the Sterling Glimmer mist on the whole tag. I wanted the hearts to drip some did, some didn't. After the tag dried completely (I don't have a heat gun anymore, mine died) I did some stamping with a small heart stamp with Picked raspberry distress inkpad. I took a circle plastic canvas and sprayed Its Black Glimmer mist on it. Again I wanted drips and again it failed me. I added some splots with the Java and Polka dot pink.

While the tag dried I had butterfly (from the Tatter Angles Mixed Media Origins wings 12x12) that  had painted with Ladybug Glimmer Glaze that I was going o use on something else. I deiced to use t on the tag.  I had a bunch of heart wood veneers I took one and painted it with the Java Glimmer Glaze. When that dried, I cut the butterfly wings and glued it to the back of the heart. and glued that to the tag. 

After looking online for Valentine quotes, I found a couple I liked and printed them. One I used for this tag. I glued it on the tag and went around the words with pen. I duid glue on another tag on the back of this one tio get it more sturdy. The top part of the tag I used some black lace trim that I got in my welcome kit. I stapled it on to the tag. I went around the edge with the black  High Impact paint.
