Art Journal Page by Fiona

Hello my gorgeous VLVS! peeps. Fiona here with you today to share an art journal page I have created using one of the latest release's of stamp plates designed by our champion designer DeeDee Catron (love your work babe)

I really had no idea where this one was going when I started it. I know I wanted to  use the Turquoise and that was about it. So that is where I started.

Then I collaged on some run off paper I had used in a previous print making project that involved the fabulous stamps from plate 1495

Because the colours in this were yellow and red, that's where the page started to go. I love it when my art is influenced by something out of my control.

And then ...... this face appeared. I just love the way it surprised me. That's the best kind of art .... the ones you don't expect.

VLVS! stamps I used include:

Plate 1495

Typeset Scallop

Carved X's

Rows of Numbers

Cross Marks Background

Row of Scribble Squares

Punchinella/Sequin Waste Border

See you all again soon xx

Video Tutorial by Fiona

Hello VLVS! fans, Fiona here with you today to show you how I created some collage paper by stamping directly onto the gel surface with the stamps.

I then used the collage sheets to make a little mini album.

I embellished the cover with some more stamping.

 And added some little Um WOW Studio chipboard dudes on as well.

I think i might add some pages into this little one and turn it into an art journal or a little sketch journal.

Here is the video showing how I created the collage paper.

And here is the list of Viva Las Vegastamps! I used

Plate 1495

Scribble Circle

Typeset Scallop

Carved X's

X Circle

Rows of Numbers

Row of Distressed Lines

Row of Scribble Squares

Punchinella/Sequin Waster Border

Cross Marks

Color Chaos Tag by Jenn Engle

Hey Everyone! I have a super colorful tag using some of the new Mark Making Stamps designed by DeeDee Catron and my new favorite Paint Brush in Jar Stamp.

STAMPS USED:

Scribble Circle

Typeset scallops

Mesh Texture

Paintbrush in Jar

Cross Marks Background

Rows of Numbers

I started out with a watercolor tag and used some Distress Paint as a quick way to get color on my tag. I then stamped the Rows of Numbers  and Cross Marks Background all over my background. I love these mark making stamps because they add that hand drawn element that I love, yet struggle with. 

I had this other pink and yellow tag in my stash that I thought went well, so I used that as a place to put my Paint Brush Stamp . The brushes are placed on top of  the Scribble Circle stamp with some teal thread in between. 

I stamped the Typeset Scallops on top of some painty paper, then added it along with some Dina Wakley washi tape under the top tag.

I finished my tag off with some Tim Holtz Chit Chat Stickers and some white gesso thru a Tim Holtz stencil. 

To see exactly how I made this tag, you can check out my process video here:
