Grunge Ink Workshop: Painting #2

Hi Everyone.

I am so enjoying Jodi Ohl's new workshop Grunge Ink.

I now watch all the videos as I create.

Here is my second painting. 

Not sure if its really done the more I look at it.

But I will just leave it alone for now.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

You Are Enough

Hi All

I would say half of my art journals are for just for playing with whatever supplies I have.

This page is from one of those journals.

I was playing with different color combinations.

I'm not sure I like the combination.

I wish I can say my stencil aliens made me do it.

I don't hate the page. 

I used TCW2043 Poppy Fragment for the background.

I find I use this stencil fragment quite a bit.

I also used Dina Wakely's stamp set called Face In The Crowd.

Do you test color combinations?

Any weird ones?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It's Kind of Creepy

Hi Everyone!

This card came together really fast. 

Easy in fact.

When you see it you will wonder what I was thinking.

I blame my stencil aliens.

Really, I do.

Supplies:

TCW484s 6x6 Netting Stencil

Washi Tape

Halloween Blueprint 2 Stamp Set: Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous

Red Acrylic Paint - watered down.

Piece of paper towel

One thing I found that may help you.

When I was adding the red paint it would bead off the plastic washi tape.

I added clear gesso and then added the paint.

Worked perfect.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It's Fall! Leaving Are Changing

Happy Tuesday.

For today's card my stencil aliens chose TCW491s Doodling Stencil to use.

Actually, my stencil aliens were trying to jump off my table holding the stencils over their heads trying to fly. 

Duh! There's holes in them. Well, this stencil was the last one they used.

I'm also using Halloween Blueprint 2 stamp set.

To create this card I stamped the Wheat stamp and used watercolors to color it in.

Then stamped the Pumpkin on a separate piece of paper, colored it in and cut it out.

I also found scrap pieces of a deli paper with a halloween background stamp and some paper leaves to add to the card.

Now for the stencil. 

I used distress inks through the stencil for the background.

For a watercolor look I sprayed it with water.

Once everything was dry I attached everything to the card.

abc.123.washi + stencils = An Art Journal Page

abc.123.washi Stamps from Susan K. Weckesser

TCW493s Folk Art Flower Stencil

TCW471s Positive Stencil

I used the above to create a journal page in my travel journal.

My daughter had paints so it was great fun.

This page was actually created the day after I arrived.

She had to work and I was exhausted.

I slept in and then stayed in PJs all day.
