Art Journal Page - Connections

Hello creative friends.  Hope everyone had a great Memorial day weekend.  Mine was great.  This weekend I created an art journal page using Dylusions paint, Prismacolor pencils, Posca paint pens, a stencil of a peacock feather, a stamp of a peacock and a title from my stash.  The title I chose to put on this art journal page is Connections as I was thinking about the connections that we have with family and friends while I was creating this page.  Which seems appropriate for this time of year.  Here is a picture of the art journal page I created and some close up pics:

 

And here is a short video showing how I created this page.

I also made another journal for my Etsy shop I'm calling the Music journal, since I used music print pattern paper in this journal.  I decided to make a mixed media cover using scraps from the pattern papers I used in the journal, tissue paper, acrylic paint and Staz-on ink.  Here are some pics of the journal I created:

Hope you connected with your family and friends this weekend.  Thank you for stopping by.  Until next time, Happy Creating.

Art Journal Page - Light of God

Hello creative friends.  Hope your week is going well.  Mine is going good.  This week I created an art journal page using Dylusions paint, Ranger Crackle paint, Tim Holt distressing stain, Prismacolor pencils, stamps and a quote from my stash.  The quote says "There's a crack in everyone....  That's how the light of God gets in." by Elizabeth Gilbert.   I painted the page with Dylusions paint, stamped it with a script stamp and then covered it with Ranger Crackle paint.  Then covered the page with Tim Holtz walnut stain and rubbed it off with a baby wipe.  I then used Dylusions paints and Deep Red butterfly stamps on book pages to make the butterflies.  I added a picture from my stash, the butterflies and the quote to finish the page.  Here is a picture of the page I created and some close ups.

Here is a video I made showing how I created this page.

Have you used crackle paint?  This was my first time using it and it didn't crackle as much as I though it would.  I may have to put it on thicker next time.  But the page looks like it is crackled due to the script stamping that I used on the page.  Oh well, I still like the way this page turned out.  Thank you for stopping by.  Until next time, Happy Creating.

Art Journal Page - Challenges

Hello creative friends.  Hope everyone is having a good week.  My week is going well.  This past weekend I was able to get some time in my art room to create a journal page and start working on putting together another journal for my Etsy shop.  This art journal page started out with a napkin and then I added some music note pages for the background.  I drew and painted a bird and some flowers using Dylusions paint and Acrylic paint to mimic the images on the napkin.  Then finish the page with a quote from my stash.  Here is a picture of the art journal page I created and some close-ups:

And here is a video showing how I created this page:

I really like the way this journal page turned out.  Thank you for stopping by.  Until next time, Happy Creating.

Art Journal Page - Make Your Life Better

Hello creative friends.  Hope everyone is have a good week.  My week has been going great.  I am on vacation this week and posting a day early because me and my husband are going out of town tomorrow.  This weekend I played around with some Dylusions paints that I recently bought and had a lot of fun creating the following art journal page.  After putting down some color for a background, I applied black paint through a couple of stencils to add contrast to the background.  I then found a picture and quote in my stash that I added to this journal page.  Here is a pic of the page I created and a couple of close ups.

 

And here is a video showing how I created this page.
