Art Journaling with Scraps

Hello stampers out there. I recently had some fun with one of Viva Las VegaStamps newest releases. 

I played with the plate 1470. I decided to play with one of my scrap journal pages and a sheet from a mono print from my stash. I made my own gelatin plate and went to town with stencils and Dylusions Paints. I made several several prints talk about a fun night. Next time I want to try it with some deli paper though. 

So here is my art journal page. I stamped the sentiment and the bookmark style stamp on white cardstock and cut them out.  

I used a scrap of the mono print behind the sentiment and you can see the pattern behind in the background was the actual print. 

Everything was adhered down with a matte gel medium so I could use my black PITT Pen and smudge a border around what I wanted a border on. 

The actual background before I added everything had some blue gelato that I had wiped up off my craft sheet. I used a baby wipe and a stencil to take away some color. 

Again I had no clue what I was doing but having fun with some scrap stuff I had laying around and some of the new stamps. 

So grab some and have some fun and don't forget to share your work over at the VLVS Groupies Facebook Page!

Dancing with the Sky

Well I had to play around with this art journal page. Do any of you have  those art journal pages or art journals that you use to put your extra ink or extra modeling paste so you don't waste product???

(BIG HAND IN THE AIR HERE) 

Well I decided to use one of my wipe off, extra product pages to play with. 

So on this page the first bit I did was clean up some blue ink off my desk. Then the next addition to the background was a stencil stamping.  You know when you spray through a stencil and there is spray ALL OVER the stencil... well the stencil got smooshed in here. 

Then I recently did some ATC's and had lots of modeling paste left over so I added some stenciling too. 

So I played around with the stamps Dictionary Page - 19015 on the bacground and Girl With Wings - 19005. I stamped her on some paper and colored her with some watercolor pencils. I cut her out and added her to the page with some matte gel medium and then added some silver stickles to her wings. 

Here you can see some of those leftovers in detail and shimmer. 

I try to use up everything I can and create something from nothing. Give it a try and enjoy the process and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
