Enjoy Adventure

Hey there Arty Peeps.

I hope your new year is starting off positively.

I'm here today to share my sketch page with y'all.

It's a messy one, perfect for a teenage boy.

I started with a piece of heavy weight cardstock that had been used to clean up a stencil which had been used with watercolour paint. Then I mounted my pics and cut a couple of circles from this patterned paper. The circles didn't pop enough so I sprayed them with some red Dylusions then, to tie the background in, I added some yellow spray to my mat, mixed it with the red and cleaned it up with my page.

I used brick wall washi tape and bling strips, along with chevron chippies coloured black. I coloured black over my chippy title with a Posca paint pen to make the word stand out. 

I wrote my journalling using my awesome WeRMK Typecast typewriter by putting the whole page through (so fantastic!) before I stuck anything down.

My banner was stuck down before the orange splats. I used Kindyglitz to go over the wood veneer word. As a finishing touch I added some vellum stars and the almost obligatory black splats.

The little heart is from the same pack as my title, I coloured it black too.

Here is the sketch, click on it to go to the upload folder on Facebook.

I sure hope you can join us this month, always a fab prize!

This One Time At Art Camp

I've been away in beautiful Anna Bay getting arty again....Lucky Me :) :)

A time to catch up and create with my connected peeps .

Unfortunately I forgot the layout I was teaching so I had to whip one up quickly,

to use as a display piece.  

The challenge-between Peg,Linelle and I was on to create a piece with the title 

This One Time at ........(then you pick the ending)

Here is my take on the challenge.

 Starting with some Bazzill Marshmellow cardstock and using a circle stencil, I added some Royalty and Just Blue Colour Blast textured paste and a little house paint drips to create the background.

After drying time I added some script stamping and a few doodles around the circle images.

Then its layering time, a chevron serviette, black tissue paper,muslin,black matt photos,a little cotton thread,title ,stamped flower and some chipboard from Me and My Big Ideas .

So the challenge is on peeps,if your looking for an inspiring title to add to your pieces ,

This ones for you.

Thanks for dropping by,I'll be back next friday for a mixed media blog update .

 Howdy Folks , Lisa Here,a few hours late today (work commitments) but here to share :)

I have a layout today , using some arty fun painty goodness and colourblasting fun paste .

for my background I've used some lush Dina Paint with a chevron stencil ,

then after drying time I've added some buttery Colourblast textured paste in Fire Engine using a ornate eastern stencil pattern.oh how I Love that shimmer.

Another stencil , this time a Donna Downey quote stencil in simple white modelling paste, a little stamping,then a few drips of housepaint and the background is almost complete.

The rest is just a little journal and doodling, paper layering and embellies.
