Smile Sunshine! - A painty journal page

 

Hi There! I am here with a Journal page for my blog post this week. More painting inspiration for the Bee Crafty Stamps facebook group challenge. 

I began by painting a page with black gesso then adding a white gesso 'star' over it. 
Once this was dry, I used the latest Dinkables to add some spots and dashes with dylusions paint in mushy peas and peony Blush.
Next I added a piece of catalyst Collage paperand edged round it with a black paint marker. 
When it was dry I added faux stitching using a bright pink gelly roll Moonlight pen. 
Around the page I added some stamping using Peeled Paint and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink with some of the worker stamps from Journaling Essentials 9. 
Finally I added a wordy Sticker sentiment, adding a bit more faux stitching and a black border
Here is the finished page again. 

I used:
Black gesso 
White Gesso
Dylusions paint - I used Peony Blush and Mushy Peas
Distress oxide ink - I used Peeled Paint and Picked Raspberry
Black Posca/ Paint marker and fine liner

Thanks for looking!

Challenge inspiration

 

Hi There! I am here with a little inspiration for the new challenge over in the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group, where the challenge is 'Paint'. 

I began by painting the background of my coaster with Dylusions paints. 
When this was dry I added some white gesso through the Bakewell Big one inkable. 
Using the worker stamps from the doodle Art Cone Flower stamp set, I added a little stamping in black Versafine Clair ink. 
On a separate piece of card, I stamped the smaller cone Flower in the same ink and cut it out. I coloured it using distress inks. 
Finally I added it to the background along with some wordy stickers, adding some faux stitching with a gel pen and a fine liner. 
Here it is once more. 
I used:
Black Versafine Clair ink
Distress inks  - I used Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed and Rustic Wilderness 
White Gesso
Dylusions paints - I used Crushed Grape, Periwinkle and Polished Jade

Thanks for looking and I hope it has inspired you to enter the Bee crafty Stamps Facebook Group challenge.
