.. two days slow...

Hello everyone,

I have an art journal to share with you today.  First here is the finished article, then sit back, get a drink and enjoy the tutorial... I have to apologise as I used my favourite colour combination yet again !  I love the green and the turquoise together....

Here's how I made it:

First I got out a piece of Mixed Media Paper and put a layer of gesso on it. 

Next I gave it some colour using Lindys Stampgang sprays. I used two flat Fabios, 'Merry go round Green' and 'Sea Breeze blue' and one Starburst spray 'Tibetan Poppy Teal'. 

Keep on spraying, painting and dripping until you are happy with the result. 

Next I used some model paste and a stencil to add some texture. 

Then the fun starts with stamping the background. I used a variety of inks: Black Archival, Distress Inks and Memento. There is a full list of stamps I used and their links to VLVS! website is at the bottom of this post. 

Next I stamped the main images I was going to use with Memento Ink as I was going to colour them with Copic Markers. 

Here's how they look all stamped, coloured, cut out and clear embossed. 

I then adhered them to my prepared page. Alice was adhered on some washi tape to ground her. I used a few bit of the same tape around the page for more interest. 

The last thing I did was type the sentiment, which is a quote from Alice in Wonderland, on my old trusty typewriter. I cut it out, adhered it to the page and doodled around the srtips with a black pen. 

That finished my Art Journal page. 

I used the following stamps:

5210 - Collage writing

19571 - Writing triangles 

19567 - Writing circles background

18846 - Medium Doily

12681 - Alice reaching

19004 - Flying Watch

Thank you so much for stopping by today !

Wonderland Tag

Hello everyone! Shanna here again to share and amazing creation with you all! 

I am just in love with Alice in Wonderland and thought to create a tag based on that theme!

I loved creating this tag using a variety of stamps and mixed media techniques. 

I used Alice Reaching - 12681 (Plate 1161) and Mason Jar - 18957 (Plate 827) for the main part of the tag. I used lots of Distress Inks to really grunge the tag up. I also used a Twinkling H2o to add some shimmer as well. 

Then I stamped the Butterfly Specimens - 19415 (Plate 1440) using a light colored ink and Wonderland - 19580 (Plate 1452) to make this tag a Wonderland of an idea to add for a tag collection.
