SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT

Hi Everyone!

Many months ago I made up a book filled with gelli prints, as my base for an art journal. And there it sat, and sat. Fear of beginning, failure, what?

Yesterday, that ended, and this page developed. I'm not sure it's finished. For now, it is.  :)

Thanks to inspiration, from Wanda, I'm linking to ...

        

I love the new stamps from Quietfire Design- Wine is Sunlight plus several more, and on sale right now! You'll love them all.

For awesome inspiration, check out Wanda's blog.

Thanks for looking and I hope you have a beautiful, creative day!

AIR BRUSH & GELLI PLATE ART JOURNAL

The conversation went something like this....

"I never use my airbrush anymore. I should sell it."

DH- Let me know and I'll take a photo and list it.

"Maybe I should try it out and make sure."

Later.....

"Look at this. I love it!"

DH- rolls his eyes. 'Nuff said.

 

With black paint, I sprayed over punchinella, doilies and die cuts. Changed to red paint and sprayed over die cut flowers and all around the edge. Changed to yellow, then blue, and sprayed here and there. Brushed on clear coat and let it dry. Click on photo for larger image.

The back side of the cover had red paint sprayed through a plastic doily, then tissue paper was glued down over it, allowing bits of red to show through. The tissue was a scrap used to stamp off and roll off paint while I was using my gelli plate. The following are random pages made with the gelli plate.

Left: dollar store scrapbook paper with flower cut outs.

Right: hand cut stencil that I made. Produce bag.

Paper doily, narrow ribbon trim.

Textured wallpaper scrap, die cut frame.

Same hand cut stencil.

Back cover sprayed with softer colours.

 

This art journal is about 8X10 inches and I'm itching to work in it.

 

I have a card to share at QUIETFIRE CREATIONS. Be sure and check it out okay?

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Stay safe.

 

ART JOURNAL

I enjoy looking at art journals created by others and decided to take the plunge and begin one of my own. Talk about total freedom! Play, experiment, no way to fail, no judgement- it's all good. I don't even have to share if I don't want to.

So, I've decided to 'art up' different quotes and words for life that I've been collecting forever. That let's me get started with the art part, and ease on in to the journal part :)

I began by dragging a couple different colours of distress ink around the page- sometimes pausing to let the square shape of the pad show up. I was testing out a new die and so the cut from it became the base for my "10 things to learn in life" plant. Over-sized leaves to write in and lots of outlining.

Easy and relaxing- and I'm using my supplies, yayyy!

I try to work in the book, a little everyday, or zentangle, and it's very calming.

Art is so good for you!

So go do some and have an amazing day.

Thanks for looking, I do appreciate it.
