Search – Art Journal page

Hello everyone! Today´s page is a share from my art journal. This one is done with STAMPlorations stencils and stamps mainly.

For the background I first added light pink and yellow Distress Paints with a palette knife without any specific plan. Just added very randomly. On top I used the Henna Pattern stencil with a pink Distress Oxide ink tone. I stenciled the image twice next to each other, for the second image I just flipped the stencil around to make a mirror image. I love the pattern it created!

Next I took some brown Distress Oxide Ink out and stenciled the Profile 1 stencil image onto the page on top of the previous layers. Next to that I added some Abstract Notes stencil pattern with the same ink color. Now that the stenciled layers were done, I wanted to decorate the lady´s hair with flowers. Therefore I stamped flower with the Blooming Buds stamp set and leaves with the Leaves of Thanks stamp set onto the page with black ink. I let the ink dry properly and then colored the leaves and flowers with acrylic markers.

After that I wrote the quote to the page with a black acrylic marker. I still wanted to add a few more flowers, so I took some collage paper out and stamped ore Blooming Buds images onto it. I then fussy cut the images and adhered them to the previously stamped and colored images in clusters. For finishing touches I added some white Dina Wakley Gloss Spray splatters an da stamped sentiment from the Blooming Buds stamp set.

I had a lot of fun creating this page. I hope it inspires you to play with STAMPlorations stencils abit!! Here is again the discount code for the store:

Art journal page with STAMPlorations stencils

Hello everyone! Today I´m sharing another page from my art journal. This time I used STAMPlorations stencils in the process.

for the background I used tinted light blue and old paper toned Distress Paints. I applied those with a palette knife to the background very randomly. On top of that paint layer I used Distress Oxide Inks with following stencils: Abstract Notes and Modern Envelopes. You can see some hints of pattern here and there in light beige and green ink tones.

Next I used some black Distress Oxide Ink with the Profile #3 stencil to make the face pattern. I placed the images around the edges to create a big free space for a sentiment in the middle of the page. Next I wrote a bold sentiment with an acrylic black pen and finished the page off with some Dina Wakley Gloss Spray ink splatters in magenta.

I really like how this page turned out. I also hope I could inspire you abit to play and have fun with STAMPlorations stencils. Also, upon purchase, feel free to use my discount code for 20% off your order at STAMPlorations:

STAMPlorations 13th Birthday celebration – DAY 4

Hello everyone! Welcome to DAY 4 of the STAMPlorations 13th Birthday celebration!! Today I´ve got two card projects to share with you.

The new product I used for the first card features: Abstract Notes stencil and Big Cupcakes Colorables. From the older product I combined the Sweet Cravings stamp sets sentiments.

I placed the stencil directly onto the card base, applied various tones of Distress Oxide inks thru the stencil pattern to create a bold background. Next I colored the cupcake with alcohol markers and adhered it onto the card base. Finally, I stamped the Sweet Cravings set´s sentiments directly onto the card with black ink.

For the second card I used following new product from the store: Henna Pattern stencil and the Nostalgia #1 Ephemera Cut-Outs. The older product featured is again the Sweet Cravings stamp set.

I simply stenciled the Henna Pattern directly onto the card base by moving it around and creating a full surface random pattern. Next I fussy cut the Nostalgia #1 Ephemera Cut-Outs and adhered the into a cluster onto the card. For finishing touches I added some stamping with Sweet Cravings stamp set and some black ink splatters. I also outlined the card base with a black pen (faux stitching).

Here is a quick peek into Big Cupcakes and Big Birthday Cakes Colorables:
