Art journal fun & Viva Las VegaStamps!

It's been a little while since I added to my art journal and I had a picture of the hubs and I the night we went and saw Black Sabbath in concert (awesome!!) so I decided to do a journal page with it using the fabulous Viva Las VegaStamps stamps. When I use a stencil with mists or paints I hate to waste any leftovers so what I usually do is press it onto a blank page in my journal so that I can use it on another page. This is what I started out with

 

I loved the bright colors! I then added our picture as well as some other embellies

and I stamped the numbers on the bottom and decided that I wanted to color them in with a fuschia color to make them pop more!  Here is the finished journal page

  and here are a couple close ups

and here are the stamps I used on this journal page:

the "xo" stamp 

 

and the line of chevrons stamp

and the ampersand stamp

 

and the grunge numbers from Plate 1444 

and last but not least checkerboard border

 I also used yummy Momenta inks and glimmer mists to color this page up.  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
