Gone fishin'

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my post for today where I'd like to share a mini art journal spread.

I made this by brayering acrylic paint over the pages. I then used a mini gel printing plate to add the tone on tone flowers. Next I added some stamping and more flowers, this time with white paint . The flowers are a stencil btw. 

I then stamped the girl on the page; I had to colour the birds in with a black marker because it didn't stamp very well. That is the rist of working directly in your journal. Much easier to work on loose pages so you can use a stamping tool.

 I also stamped her on a piece of white paper and cut her and the bird cage and boat out. I adhered this over the stamped image on the page. I added a little colour with pencils. 

The sentiment was stamped as a background stamp but also separate on white paper to use as a titel for the page. I also aded some white splatters and a line around the page. 

I have used the following stamps :

19804 - Gone fishin'

19748 - evidence label

19567 - Writing circle background

19571 - Writing triangles

19939 - Banksy child fishing in paper boat

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

Paper Bag for a special occasion ► Majo

Good Morning, dear crafty friends!

Today I'd like to show you a paper bag I decorated with a stamped panel. 

My friends daughter just finished school a week ago and she's a bit lost on how to proceed with her future. Collage, new job, Sabbatical, just relax for a while? Well she doesn't know yet.

So we took care of the fun part and bought several coupons for her. Some just small and silly ones, i.e. coffee at Starbucks or a burger at one of the burger stations etc. 

Some little cards also have "wise" phrases for the future :)

 I applied Mixed Media paint from Dina Wakley (Ranger) with a brayer and added distress ink in coordinating colours before stamping.

 

Here are some close ups of the background stamps I used, of course my most favorite, the doodle dots among the doodle leaf and the heart pattern circle, designed by my teamie Tera.

I stamped the bell jar and the little girl and fuzzy cut it. After colouring her I added the sentiment stamp for  a bit of texture. 

I added the the butterfly wings and the sentiment, it seems so appropriate for a girl finding her way into adult life.

Stamps I used:

doodle dots

doodle leaf

 heart pattern circle

 bell jar 

Unicycle Lady Skipping Rope

butterfly wings  

 you are beautiful

Thanks so much for stopping by today, have a wonderful weekend and Happy Crafting ♥
