Art Journal Time

Hello, hello!

Aimee here with a couple of art journal pages for ya.

Both of these use Mary Vogel's stamps.

Gelatos and watercolor paints

Water and a brush or two

Permanent pen (I used Pitt Micron)

Fiskars cloud punch

Scrap of watercolor paper

Miracle Tape sheet

Colored pencils

Scissors

Permanent black ink (I used Archival)

Stamps: Yee Haw & Elephant On Ball

Colored pencils

 Create your back ground using Gelatos and watercolor paints.

Let dry.

Use pen to sketch in ground and little circles in the sky.

 Stamp elephant onto page, and onto a scrap of paper.

Add color to elephant on scrap using watercolor paints and

colored pencils.

Trim close, and add Miracle Tape sheet to back.

Fussy cut the elephant out, peel off the second liner

from the Miracle Tape, and place on page over stamped image.

 Paint a scrap of paper blue, let it dry.

Punch three clouds.

Use pen to add detail to clouds. 

Place clouds on page.

Let it dry (or speed it up with a heat gun!!)

Stamp background stamp twice across page with brown ink.

 Smear some acrylic paint across middle of page

to hide the seam where the background was stamped.

Let dry.

 Color them.

Trim into rectangles, and edge with brown ink.

 Put some tapes randomly across the page.

Add the rectangles across the page.
