All how wander by Cathy

 Cathy here and today I have a card for you. 

I started out with watercolor paper and 3 colors of green distress inks. I smooched it on my craft mat and added some water to blend the colors. I started with the lightest color and worked my way to the darkest. I dried in-between the colors so they could layer.

Next, I grabbed a Tim Holtz dot stencil and added it the background with the darkest green ink to add a layer.

 

Next, I stamped the Butterfly Specimens in the middle of the panel with black ink. I then stamped Victorian Flourish with the same dark green ink. I only used a corner of the stamp. After that I then stamped Waybill background in brown distress ink randomly over the whole panel. I only used the top part of this stamp. 

To finish it off I edged it in drown distress ink and on top of that I added a layer of black distress ink. Lastly, I stamped Not all who wander saying on white cardstock and layered it on black cardstock and stuck in in the middle of the card.

Not all who Wander

Hello everyone.... 

I’m back for another month. And I’m going to be straight up honest. 

This month’s challenge has me freaking stumped. 

Homecooked!!!....

(#noventry19)

So I digressed for this first post. But I won’t let the challenge defeat me. (Stay tuned for that!!).

Without further ado...

Not all who Wander!!

I started with a 4x4 piece of watercolour paper that I smeared a layer of texture paste and then let it dry a little then stamped into it with the Waybill/invoice stamp.

Then I added the stamped image of the Businessman Silhouette straight onto the textured background. I know it doesn't give a perfect image but I love it anyway... 

what are your thoughts? 

can you handle the not quite so crisp stamped image?

Then I added some colour washes so it looks like the man is standing on a mountain, a few random alphas. 

Then I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of resined book text. 

I just love that caramel coloured goodness!!!!

Lastly, just to finish some stitching around the piece to give the whole piece a super easy border.

All of the stamps featured here are from Plate 1440....

Hey everyone! I have an art journal page to share with you today. To see exactly how I made it, check out the process video at the bottom of this post.

STAMPS USED:

Magic Maker Paintbrush by Cat Kerr

Row of Numbers

Mesh Texture
Not All Who Wander

I started by using Distress Oxides Inks with a round ink blending tool to create circles all over my background. I also did a little stamping to add some interest.

I stamped my paintbrush and colored it in with Dina Wakley's Scribble Sticks. I also stamped my two sentiments.

I journaled with a Fude-Ball 1.5mm pen, making it look like my journaling was coming out of my paintbrush. I glued down my sentiments and that's it!

Not LOST

Halloween is over and in just a minute I am going to start thinking about my Christmas projects!! Before that though I wanted to ink up some of the new stamps I received in my last parcel of happiness.

I started with a scrap of watercolor paper and sprinkled some Brusho on one side and then sprayed with water.

I stamped the Wright Brothers Walking first, masked them and then stamped the Map of Arctic.  Both are stamped in archival ink.  I framed the Wright Brothers with a miniature blank polaroid from Um Wow Studios.

The chip is distressed with Distress Ink and water.

The sentiment is stamped on a scrap of white paper, Not all Who Wander, and then 'sewn' on with the Stitching stamp.

Thanks for popping in today!!  Now go get inky!!
Oh and join us on our facebook fan page, Viva Las VegaStamps! Groupies...we would love to see what you are creating!!
