Art Journaling with Viva Las Vegastamps!

Hello everyone!
Aimee here, with my last post for VLVS!
I've had a GREAT time with the design team, and Wayne, and Terri.
I'll be re-applying in another 6 months for sure!!

So, this time I thought I'd do an art journal page.
I love to art journal. I've got two going right now, and just got a 3rd in the mail.
They are all different sizes, so I use the one whose size fits my mood.

 So... would you like to art journal with me?
Yes?
Yippee!!

On with the show:
SUPPLIES:
Journal or book to work in (mine is a Moleskin watercolor book)
Gesso
Spray mist (I used Memories Mist from Stewart Superior in Copper)
Pan Pastels (Turquoise, Green and Red)
Sharpie marker
Paper scraps
Black ink (I used memories ink)
Gems
Stencils
Crystal Laquer 
Extreme Glitter paint (Blue)
Tim Holtz Filmstrip Ribbon
Xyron "X"
Scissors
Heat gun
Paint brush
Spray sealer (I use Krylon Workable Fixative)
Paper towel
Markers/colored pencils/or crayons
Stickers


 Paint a thin coat of gesso on your journal page.
 Rub some turquoise Pan Pastel on the page.
 Add some Green pastel.
Blend and add till you like it. Then spray with Fixative.
Dry with heat gun.
 Lay a stencil on your page, and paint with gesso.
Lift stencil, and blot with paper towel.
Dry with heat gun.
 Add a second stencil and use Red pastel.
 Cool, isn't it!
 Place stencil on page again and use a little gesso. 
You'll end up with a light pink.
Remove stencil, dry with heat gun.
Spray lightly with fixative. Dry with heat gun.
 Paint some Extreme Glitter on the left side.
Dry with heat gun.
 Lay down a third stencil, and spray with Memories Mist.
Dry with heat gun.
 Seriously, are ya loving it??
 Add a little Sharpie doodling!
 Stamp Caped lady on page and on a scrap piece of paper.
Paint a little gesso along the bottom. Dry with heat gun.
Stamp words.
Add some color to the Caped lady on the page- legs, neck, hat.
Color the arms on the lady on the scrap paper. Cut out the body section.
Run body through Xyron and add to page over stamped image.

 Add scrap papers.
Put some Crystal lacquer in a cup. Add some Terri Sproul mixer
Paint this onto the body of the Caped Lady.
Spread some around her, and around the words.

Run a piece of Filmstrip Ribbon through the Xyron and add to page.
Place stickers on the filmstrip.
Add gems using Crystal Lacquer.

Here's your wiener!
