Starbound

 Hi everyone, 

For today's post I have made and art journal spread in my small journal. 



Here's how I made this:


I started with stamping the focal image with Archival ink and colouring it with watercolour markers. 


I used Amsterdam Acrylics and a small gelli plate to add colour to my pages. I just roll the paint on the plate and then press it onto the pages. I used a bright yellow, a green and an orange. 


I then took a brayer and some white acrylic paint and toned it down again. I thought the orange was to much. 


I then added random stamping and some black paint around some of the edges. I used a paletknife to scrape the paint along the edge. 


Next, I used a star stencil and white paint to add more interest and I stamped part of the main image onto the left page. I concentrated on the small text at the top and the bottom because I can't cute this out. 


Next, I added a little more stamping, some black lines, I glued down the main image and added a sentiment. I also used part of another stamp; the word alien to add over the alien's body.




I used the following stamps:

Rest of the materials:
Amsterdam Acrylics
Gelli Arts Gelli Plate 
Archival inks
Star stencil
Ecoline Brush Markers

Mark Maker

 Hi Everyone, 

I am back ! After 6 months without, I really missed the quirky, fun images of VivaLasVegaStamps! so I am really happy that I can contribute to the blog again ! For my first project I have made a postcard. Postcards are great because their size is not too intimidating and yet there is plenty of room to enjoy yourself. 




I made the background with an UmWow Studio (Hexagon) stencil, acrylic paint and a gelli plate. I added stamping and heat embossing. The main image was coloured with watercolour markers. 

I have used the following stamps:

Rest materials:
Amsterdam Acrylics
Gelli Arts Gelli plate 6 x 6 
Versafine and Archival inks
Watercolour markers
White embossingpowder

Thank you so much for stopping by today !

Make Art Now - Art Journal Page by Elisa Ablett



Hi Crafters,

Elisa here from the design team with my latest inspiration for you for the month of June.

Halfway through this crazy year already! 

Who else has been crafting and creating more during the last 5 months with all that's happening in the world? I find creating therapeutic from the stresses of everyday life and found a bit of solace in my craft room during quarantine. 

I thought I would create an Art Journal page featuring the paint brush from Cat Kerr and all the lovely grungy marks from Plate 1455 to document my love of art.

Here are a few close ups, the page features a background I made using photo paper and watercolour inks plus a gel print from my stash. 




I have included a list and photos of the Viva products I used below:-

Plate 1455Make Art Now 1 1/4 x 1
Magic Maker Paintbrush by Cat Kerr 2 x 4 1/2


Other Products:

Photo Paper
Colour Blast Artists Inks
Dina Wakely Acrylic Paint & Washi Tape
Gel Plate
Assorted Stencils

Thank you for stopping by the blog today, make sure you stop by the shop and keep up to date with any new releases and sales.

Don't be an idjit

Hello everyone,

For today's post I have made a tag with some of the latest release stamps.


..and here's how:




I cut a tag out of a gelli print from my stash. It was made with blue and green acrylic paint and a stencil. 


Next I coloured Sasquatch with Copic Markers and cut him out. I set him aside until I was ready to use him. 


I stamped the sentiments I was planning to use. 


I stamped the background of the tag and also stamped Sasquatch again. I do this so if I don't cut out the coloured image perfectly, it will still look perfect when I glue it over top. The tag is now ready for finishing.



I started with splatters which I added with a paint pen. Just shake it at the tag.
I glued Sasquatch down and added some washi tape for him to stand on. I glued the sentiment in place and added some lines and doodles with a graphite pencil. 





I think it turned out great ! 

I used the following stamps:


Other materials:

Gelliprint 

Archicval inks:
Jet Black - Aquamarine and Leaf Green

Distress Oxide Ink:
Tumbled Glass 

Paintpen
Graphite pencil 
Copic markers

Scribble that shit out

Hello everyone,

For today's project I have made an art journal spread. I have used some of the latest release stamps. I love the scribble girls by Tina Walker and I had to use one today.


I started this page with a gel printed piece of paper and added stencilling and stamping to the background using different inks. I added some black paint along the edges to frame the pages. I used a palette knife for this.
The girl was stamped on the page and on some white card stock. I coloured her, cut her out and glued her onto herself on the page. I then coloured the earrings and necklace with a paint pen. Lastly I added the sentiment and doodled around it with a black pen. 


Here's a close up... 

I used the following stamps:


I also used:
Amsterdam Acrylics to make the gel print
Archival Inks in Aquamarine, Veridian and Jet Black
StaZon - Dove Grey
Distress Oxide ink - Tumbled glass
A flower stencil 
Black acrylic paint for edging the pages

Eat more...

Hello everyone,

For today's post I have an art journal page to show you. This cat has just got the cream eh... custard I think. lol.


The background is a mop up page from a gelli plate, you know at the end where there are so many left over paint bits. Sometimes these turn out really nice and I thought this one was great so I decided to use it for this page. I added some stamping and white splatters. After the cat was adhered I also added some more shading under him. 


He looks like he's having a great time, doesn't he ...


Not sure I'll take his advice though.. 

Anyway, I have used the following stamps:
