Art journal page in nature tones

Hello everyone! I have yet another art journal page share up for you. This time in tones of the nature for a change. I really, really like this color combination!

For this page I´ve first used light green, yellow and light blue Distress Paints on the background. Added with a palette knife very randomly.

I then painted some bigger circles with brown-ocker tones and watercolor paints. On top of that layer I´ve added stenciling with brown and blue Distress Paints and the Mini Textures 1 stencil by Rubber Dance. I also added some green marks with Neocolor II crayons here and there. Next I did some stamping with brown and black stamp inks and the Mix It Up 4 and Mix It Up 7 stamp sets (Rubber Dance).

As a centerpiece I´ve used white texture paste with the Organic 4 stencil (Rubber Dance) and a collage fodder piece made with the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil and a gel plate + stamping on top. The stamps used here are from the Mix It Up 5 stamp set. For finishing touches I´ve fussy cut a magazine title as my page title. It freely translates to: ” the art of listening with ones heart”.

All of the stamps and stencils on this page are by Rubber Dance, who happen to have a 50% sale on their products right now. Sadly, they are going to close the store. So if you are a fan of their products, make sure to put your order in quickly, until they sell out.

I´m very sad to see them close as I love their designs very much.
Happy crafting,

FLY – Art journal page

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!
