Chicken Wire

I'm having so much fun art journaling.. Here's one of my most recent:

After I misted my background and did a bit of ink puddling, I gathered my spiced marmalade distress ink and stamped my
Chicken Wire Background

3 3/4 x 4 1/2 - $15.25

to add some orange to my page. I sponged the pad directly to the stamp but then misted the stamp a bit with water. It's an easy way to break up a monotone piece and throw in a bit of excitement without taking away from the whole thing. Gives it sort of a watercolor feel.

When misting.. hold the bottle up high and let the water just "speckle" the ink on the stamp. I didn't let mine puddle.. but that doesn't mean it wouldn't have been a nice effect! Just try it out :)

Other products used include a star punchinella from Gauche Alchemy, charcoal tattered angels glimmer mist, a jar, gesso, art blanche alphas, 7gypsies file tab and a woven web from my friend Paula!

a 2nd journal page..

.. I've had the pleasure of sharing my 2nd journal page on my own blog already, but I haven't shared it here, where it really belongs!!

Because without VLVS!, this page would be incomplete. Here it is:

I used the

four inch tall Feather,

stamped it in Memento tuxedo black and embossed with the

VLVS! Ultra High Gloss EP.

Other products include TH ideology, basic grey brad, glimmer mist in inch worm and charcoal, and an Imaginarium Designs chipboard shape.
