Post 261: Art Journal Page 4 (#Authentic)

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share an Art Journal Page I made recently. This was made for a Guest Design Post over at the Craftreat Blog showcasing their beautiful stencils, you can check out all the projects here.

So first I added some strips of washi tape in a random manner, this acted as a resist. Then I created some organic backgrounds with watercolors by spritzing with water and letting the color go where it wanted to. Then added stencil designs with distress inks. The sentiments are stamped. Distressed the edges of the page with black soot distress ink. Added a few flowers to the page. I matted it onto a black base to give a more finished look and lend strength to the page. I wanted to go for flat pages which I could bind together later on because my current journal is quite full and bulky, so this seemed like an easier way to work and create. Finished it off with some ink splatter. I really love the tribal warli art and the bold stamped sentiments on the page.

List of Supplies:

Stamplorations stamp- Bold Sentiments: Hashtag Authentic

Craftreat Stencils- Warli, Lotus Mandala & Indian Motifs

Gansai Tambi Watercolors

Local Pigment Powders

Distress Inkpad- Black Soot

Distress Oxide Inkpad- Wilted Violet, Worn Lipstick

Post 227: CAS Birthday Card

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple Birthday Card today. This is a standard A2 sized top folding card. I seem to need tons of birthday cards so it is always a good idea to make a few extras :)

Essentially, the background is done by sponging inks through a hexagon stencil. The flower was die cut twice in black and white and adhered slightly off set for a shadowy effect. The smaller negative pieces from the die cut were also lightly colored with distress oxide inks and adhered back into the design. The bee and sentiment were stamped and in the end a few clear drops were added.

List of Supplies:

Paper Smooches Dainty Flowers Dies

Paper Smooches Stamp: We Adore You (sentiment)

Paper Smooches Stamp: Garden Greetings (bee)

Lawn Fawn Small Dotted Rectangle Die

Ranger's Distress Oxide Inkpads- Cracked Pistachio and Worn Lipstick

Memento Dye Inkpad- Angel Pink

White Cardstock 250 gsm

Ranger's round blending tool and foams

Hexagon Stencil

Versafine Onyx Black Mini Inkpad
