Let Them Stare Journal Page

Hi There! I am sharing with you how I made this journal spread today, but it is a long one so grab yourself a cuppa and take a look! 
 

I began by stamping just the face and neck of Dream onto stamping tissue using Versafine Clair ink.

I used a wet paint brush to remove the excess tissue and create a feathered edge to the image.

Using drops of dylusions paint in peony blush and desert sand, I mixed a skin tone shade and painted it over the bottom right corner of the page in my dylusions mini journal. 

I used blue lagoon, periwinkle and laidback lilac to add colour to the rest of the page in vertical and horizontal blocks. 

Once this was dry, I dry brushed over most of the page using white gesso, with some heavier and lighter patches.  

I used matte medium to add the stamped face to the skin tone area and left to dry.

Next I used the paints, a white gel pen and a coloured pencil to add some more detail to the face.

I painted a scrap piece of card using all the paints except for Desert Sand and left it to dry. 

Back on the journal page I used the Squircles Grande Inkable to add some patches of Villainous potion Distress oxide. 

I used the same ink to add some stamping using Journal Art Elements #2.

Now the painted card was dry, I stamped 2 different sizes of flowers from the Dandedaisy set using black versafine clair ink and cut them out. 

I also stamped and cut out the sentiment from Mixed messages 4.

I added the sentiment and the flowers (for her hair) to the page using matte medium and added some white highlights with the gel pen. 

A final splatter of white ink and it was finished...

And here's a close up.

Samples for Bee Crafty's latest shows on Hobby Maker

 Hi There! Did you See Bev and Sam on Monday's Hobby Maker shows? It was so lovely to see them together and back on our screens! 

Here are the samples I made for the first show using the brand new sketchy Birds, sketchy flowers, freehand borders, journaling essentials and mixed messages. There were also 3 new sets of tag inkables and some gorgeous new transparencies.

On these two samples I used the acetates and added a little alcohol ink to the backs of them.

For the swallow I used an acetate and coloured it with alcohol markers. 

For these two samples I created a smooshed background and then added stamping using the journaling essentials and sketchy borders

my seed packet holder would make a quick gift for mothers day, Easter, father's day or even as a wedding favour. 

The second show had the faces range of stamps plus transparencies, and the first three sets of tag inkalbes. There were also some gorgeous new key and cog mdf pop-outs

On Wednesday evening I did a Facebook live and had a lovely time creating this tropical journal spread using the new stamps. You can find the live here

I used:

Look at you Journal pages

 

Hi There! I've been having a play with my dylusions paints that I got recently and made this journal page in my mini Dylusions Journal. Here's what I did:

I began by painting the page with Bubblegum Pink and Laidback Lilac Dylusions paint. 

Once this was dry, I used a white scribble stick through the 4" easy frame heart to add two hearts. 

Next I drew several hearts using the posca pen and the Hearts 6x6 inkable around the edges of the page.

I used black soot distress oxide and the texture disc to add some darker areas to the page.

Next, I stamped some of the texture borders around the page and added some lines in black pen around the larger hearts. 

Whilst the ink dried, I cut out two of the faces from the faces #4 transparencies and added white posca pen to the eyes. I used matte medium to attach these and a sentiment from the wordy stickers to my background, and finished with a splatter of white Dina Wakely gloss spray.

Here is the finished page again. 

I used:

Build a bridge journal pages

 

Hi there! I am bringing in the new year with some fresh colours in my journal. Here's what I did to create this journal spread.

I had a page where I had mopped up some inkables that had been used for green inks. I used twisted citron and salvaged patina distress spray to fill in the gaps

once this was dry I used the Bakewell big one inkable and peacock feathers distress oxide to add a little more colour to the page. 

I used the 4inch square easy frame as a template to draw around with a distress crayon.  

after removing the easy frame I painted between the lines using turquoise paint. Once dry I blended the crayon with my finger.

Next I took a piece of Bee Crafty stamping tissue and lay it on top of the smaller face inked stamp. then I flipped it over and inked the stamp again, carefully positioning it to form the other half of the face.

I trimmed the image then stuck it inside the frame using matte medium

using the worker stamps from the same stamp set I added to the background using black versafine clair.

Next I cut a strip of circles from the transparency and coloured the centres using a silver sharpie, turning it over to show all the black on the transparency.

I added a little more stamping using the journal art elements 3 and attached the strip of transparency using double sided tape under the silver pen. I finished it off  using a couple of wordy stickers. 

Here is the finished page once more.
