Watercolor Background and Stamping Journal Page with Fiona

Hello my gorgeous VLVS! peeps! Fiona here with you today to share an art journal page I have created with the amazing red rubber from VLVS!!!

 I had lots of water colour fun in the background with this one. I love the unpredictability of using water colours. They just do whatever they please ..... no point trying to control the outcome. Once I got the hang of that rule ... I then began to love using water colours in my work.

 They can be a little bit difficult to stamp onto though as they often warp the paper and make it difficult to get a clear image. So I do a little double stamping technique that I'll show you in my next VLVS! tutorial video.

I didn't over use the stamps with this page. I was looking at creating a simplistic effect. A lot of my journalling now days has got really busy and full of doodles and mark making so for this one, I wanted to pull it all back a wee bit.

 There is still some mark making but it's very tame in comparison to what I normally would do and it is with water soluble markers so it would blend in seamlessly with the background.

Monday Mail Art from Fiona

Happy Monday everyone! Fiona here with you today to share some "Mail Art Monday" I created using the gorgeous VLVS stamps.

Stamps I used include:

Whimsical Lady Walking

Her Wings Were Made

Butterfly Lady

I created the background suing some sprays and once it dried I stamped the Butterfly Lady directly on to it. The Whimsical Lady Walking is stamped on to a separate piece of white card and heat embossed white. Then I used a resist technique with more sprays to color the background.

To finish it all off, I added the stamp with the "Her wings were made of bold patterns and bright colours". I just love this little phrase.

Until next time xx
