Art Journal

Hello everybody !

Corrie here, I have an art journal to share with you today. I have used my favourite colour combination of orange and pink !

The page has been coloured with Gelatos over gesso. I then sealed it with clear gesso. Next I used embossing powder and a stencil with an embossing ink dabber to create the pink and orange squares. Next I adhered some circles which I cut from a gelli print and stamped rings around them with a bottle cap. Then the background was stamped with grey and black ink and I splattered some white india ink on the page. The girl was stamped on book text and lightly coloured. I adhered her on to the page on top of some washi tape. A couple of lines around the page finished it off. 

I used the following stamps:

Manga Goth with boots

Loopy Calligraphy

Dream Dictionary 

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

Until next time,

Bird in love

Hello you all, Yvonne here with an art journal page this time.

I made this journal for the "use some red" challenge for this month.

The stamps I used:

- One of the 3 birds

- Manga goth with top hat

At first I stamped manga girl and masked her. For the background I used lyra aquarelcolor crayons (teal), stencils, distress ink broken china and wild honey and campso teal spray. Then I stamped the bird and draw a heart (he is so in love with manga girl). I colored manga girl with derwent colorsoft pencils soft and blush pink, and distress markers scattered straw, mustard seed, wild honey and festive berries.

Thanks for stopping by :-)

We're all Mad Here

Hello! 

Tera Here with my 1st post for Lost Coast Designs!!! 

My love is Mail Art so I wanted to share that love with you!

This piece is also a perfect example for this months Challenge 10: Use some red

Stamps Used:
Perspective Floor
Four Alices

Other Supplies:
washi tape
shabby shutters distress ink
distress markers
VersaFine ink

I started by stamping Alice in the top left of the envelope, then I masked her off.
Next I stamped the perspective floor.  I used distress markers to color my alice stamp then sponged the shabby shutters green on the background. To finish by piece off I used some washi tape that I though felt like wonderland to me. :)
