Its been nice but......... by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!

Today I chose to do a page in my art journal.


For this page I started by spraying some distress stains. I started with yellow in the center and then a metallic orange and then darker oranges and reds from there working to the outside.

I use a paint brush and water to move the colors around until I'm happy. I dried with my heat tool and began stamping. First the open mouth in black And then the eyeball in red.  I added some glow in the dark eye stickers for fun. I used a couple other stamps on the background and added some thin sticks for interest. I fussy cut the ladies and painted them and then Used foam tape to attach them to the page..
That's it! I hope you enjoyed!

Eyeball     10398
Open mouth    5766

Radioactive by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi peeps ❤

Welcome back!

Today I show you a postcard in black and white, colored with many different shades of gray.






And that's how I made it:

01.) For this I use Canson watercolor paper, a ruler and a Micron fineliner. First I draw the lines for my following Zentangle pattern.



02.) After I have finished drawing my Zentangle pattern, I fill in all the spaces with the Micron Pen. Now I can start coloring the light spaces. To do this, I start with a bluish gray tone.



03.) To give the pattern a little more depth, I shade it with a glitter black.



04.) Time to choose the stamp motif...



05.) To make the black a little more saturated, I trace the black parts of the motif with the Micron pen. Now I can start with the coloring. For this I use many different shades of gray.



06.) I also design the background in grey and black. Now I want to add some lettering. I decided on an embossed word.



All stamps, I used:

- Whimsical Gas Mask Guy

- Jagged Chain Link Fence

- Radioactive


Other supplies:

- Canson watercolorpaper

- Micron Pen

- Handmade watercolors

- VersaFine Clair

- VersaColor

- Embossing powder


See ya soon *mwah*

MORE TEA VICAR? - by Fran Chalmers

 Hi everyone!

Today I've made a quirky card for you, with a bit of humour (which may be British, not sure)!


First of all I smooshed a background with  distress inks in Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade.


I added a couple of stamps for some interest in the background.


I stamped the main image on thick paper and coloured it in with copic pens.


I cut out and stuck the image on the card, and then printed out the sentiment, edged it and stuck it on the card.



I edged the card in Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade to bring it all together.


I hope you like it!
