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

Thank you for stopping by today!

 Hi everyone, 

For today's post I have made and art journal spread in my small journal. 

Here's how I made this:

I started with stamping the focal image with Archival ink and colouring it with watercolour markers. 

I used Amsterdam Acrylics and a small gelli plate to add colour to my pages. I just roll the paint on the plate and then press it onto the pages. I used a bright yellow, a green and an orange. 

I then took a brayer and some white acrylic paint and toned it down again. I thought the orange was to much. 

I then added random stamping and some black paint around some of the edges. I used a paletknife to scrape the paint along the edge. 

Next, I used a star stencil and white paint to add more interest and I stamped part of the main image onto the left page. I concentrated on the small text at the top and the bottom because I can't cute this out. 

Next, I added a little more stamping, some black lines, I glued down the main image and added a sentiment. I also used part of another stamp; the word alien to add over the alien's body.

I used the following stamps:

20493 - Believe in yourself and aliens

20238 - Starbound

20571 - Plus sign background

20574 - Round brushstrokes small

20247 - Grungy strip of stars

7138 - Alien Circle

Rest of the materials:

Amsterdam Acrylics

Gelli Arts Gelli Plate 

Archival inks

Star stencil

Ecoline Brush Markers
