Artjournal pages by Corrie

 Hello everyone, 

For today's post I have made a double artjournal spread. It is very colourful so get your sunglasses out! 

Here's how I made this:

I used these Distress Oxide inks and a blending tool to add colour to my pages. I put the ink straight on the paper of my art journal. This is a Moleskine sketch book. 

Next I dropped some water on it. 

I then stamped the background using the same inks and some darker shades of the same colours.

Adding some black stamping and inking around the edges to frame the pages and some white splatters from a paint pen. 

The focal. I love this stamp. She looks very regal. 

I added some pink to her cheeks. The sentiments are clippings stickers by Tim Holtz. 

I have used the following stamps:

19953 - Queen Elizabeth 

20342 - Library return dates

20170 - Rows of numbers

20165 - Crossmarks background

20570 - Round brushstrokes large

18920 - Harlequin Diamond background

Apart from the stamps I used:

Distress Oxide inks in rainbow colours

Versafine Clair Nocturne ink

Make art not war - by Corrie

 Hello everyone,

For today's project I have made an artjournal page and I had to use some Banksy inspired stamps again. I simply love them ! 

The background was made by painting it turquoise and lime and adding stencilling with the same colours, white and dark pink acrylic paint. I used Dina Wakley acrylics. I also used a brayer and white paint to tone the whole thing down again. I added stamping, doodling and washi tape and placed the soldiers on the top of the washi tape to ground them. The sentiment was cut apart and glued onto the page. I added some of the dark pink paint along the bottom edges of the words and at the end of the brush that the soldier on the right is holding. 

I have used the following stamps:

20651 - Banksy Soldiers Painting

19973 - Banksy Make art not war

20067 - Banksy By order/Graffiti area

20163 - Typeset scallop

19569 - Mesh Texture

19567 - Writing Circles background

Tis near Halloween by Corrie

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to the blog where today I am sharing a Halloween themed postcard with a little humour! 

Here is how I made it:

First I stamped and coloured the images I planned to use.

I then heat embossed this start chart with clear embossing powder. I added Distress Oxide Inks over the top and because of the embossing powder the stamped image stays white. I used a blending tool to add the inks. 

 Next I added some blood ! (lol) 

I also added some random background stamping. I used the same inks and a Versafine Clair black ink.

After adding some washi tape I placed the images on the top to ground them. The sentiments are Tim Holtz Halloween Clippings stickers and part of a stamp.

I used the following stamps:

20163 - Typeset Scallop

20167 - X circle 

20165 - Crossmarks background

19907 - When witches go riding

20272 - Jack O'Lantern

20123 - The Irish Frankenstein

19995 - Overlapping circles

20248 - Large Star Chart

18961 - Blood dripping

This is not a photo opportunity.

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to the VivaLasVegaStamps! blog where today it is my turn to share a project. This time I have made an art journal spread and I had to use some of the new Banksy inspired stamps again. Love them ! 

As soon as I saw this rat and the girl on the stool I knew that I wanted to make these AJ pages! 

I started with a blending tool and adding inks. I used Distress Oxide inks, Worn Lipstick, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade. I then used a brayer and white paint and toned it down, especially along the edges. I then added some random stamping and used a circle stencil with more white paint. 

I stamped the main images and gave them a little hint of colour, adhered them to the page on top of some washi tape. Lastly I added splatters, doodling and the sentiment of course which I think was apt for the scene. 

I have used the following stamps:

20163 - Typeset scallop

20165 - Crossmarks background

20161 - Punchinella/sequin waste border

19607 - Banksy this is not a photo opportunity

20656 - Banksy rat photograper

20658 - Banksy scared girl on stool

Banksy wasn't here

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to the blog today ! I have a made a colourful postcard this time and I had t ouse some of the new Banksy inspired stamps. 

and here's how I made it:

First I coloured my paper with Distress Oxide inks by dunking it in the ink and water pools on my craft sheet. I dried in between layers. 

Next I added some random stamping using the same inks plus some grey and black Versafine Clair. 

Next, I went around the edges with black acrylic paint. When that had dried I stamped the words directly on the card and the man on a piece of separate paper. I then cut him out. 

And here is the finished card. I added some washi tape and placed the man in it to ground him. He looks like to be spray painting. I did add some more drips under the words. 

I found the top to be too empty so I added a sentiment, using black ink on white card because I thought some more white would be good. And that finished it off. 

I used the following stamps:

20659 - Banksy Man in suit spray painter

20649 - They see me rollin'

20653 - Banksy wasn't here

20162 - Carved Xs

20165 - Crossmarks background

20161 - Punchinella border

20163 - Typeset scallop

Into the wild blue yonder

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to the VLVS! blog where today I am sharing a Journal spread. 

I still really like the Banksy stamps by VLVS! so from time to time I can't stop myself from using them, like today. The background is made with acrylic paints, a stencil and VLVS! stamps. I also used a little bit of washi tape. The girls was stamped on tissue paper and cut out and glued on, just because stamping in a journal can be problematic.

19565 - Measuring tape section

19571 - Writing triangles

19568 - Double Coffee rings

Stop me before I paint again, a postcard

 Hello everyone, 

For the second project for the month of November I have made a postcard:

And here is how I made it:

I started by colouring the paper with these two shades of Oxide inks. I then rubbed the Broken China ink pad over the stencil and spritzed it with water. I then printed it onto the card. 

After it dried, I added some stamping using Oxide and Versafine inks. 

I used an orange Distress Oxide to stamp the sentiment, I did that three times using my stamping platform. I then took the card out but not the stamp and spritzed water onto the stamped sentiment so it would run. I also added some splatters with the same orange ink. 

Next, I put the card back into the stamping platform and stamped the sentiment again but now with black ink. I like the effect. 

Next I stamped this hand print three times, again using my platform and heatembossed it with clear WOW embossing powder. I added black paint around the edges here and there and matted the card on a piece of black card stock. 

I used the following VLVS! Stamps:

19964 - Stop me before I paint again

20163 - Typeset scallop

20170 - Rows of numbers

20342 - Library return dates

20548 - Hand silhouette

Other materials:

Distress Oxide inks:

Broken China, Tumbled Glass and Carved Pumpkin

Versafine Clair - Nocturne

WOW clear embossing powder
