Art journal page with STAMPlorations stencils

Leave a comment

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:

Happy crafting,

Hello everyone! Today I´m sharing a page from my art journal. I´ve wanted to create a page like this for a while now and finally came to it.

For this page I first wiped grey, green and light blue Distress Paints onto the background with a palette knife. After that I cut 3 holes with a paper cutter into the middle and hand sewed some twine around the edges of the holes.

Next I applied some yellow tinted texture paste thru a Rubber Dance stencil (Sketchy Leaves 5) onto the page. After that I took a peach toned Distress Paint and applied it thru the Stars 1 stencil onto the page. Next I stamped with brown ink and the Mix It Up 5 set text stamp onto the yellow leaf images. I also stamped words, dots and writing with light grey and black stamp ink here and there. The stamp sets used are: Mix It Up 4 and Butterflies and Moths. I also added some tiny butterflies for decor – stamped on a collage paper and then fussy cut. The stamp set used is the Butterflies and Moths set.

For finishing touches I added some pink circles, “stamped” using a paint bottle cap and Dina Wakley heavy body paint in neon pink. And the word you can see thru the holes is done by adding alpha stickers to the areas of the openings on the following page. On that background I used Distress Oxide Ink in blue and the Mini Textures 1 stencil.

All stamps and stencils are by Rubber Dance, who are having a 50% sale at their store right now. Sadly, they have decided to close the store. So if you love their product, be quick, before everything is sold out. I´m really sad to see them closing – they will be greatly missed!
