ARTFUL JOURNEYS - Week #30 - Paint with your 3 fave colors AND

ARTFUL JOURNEYS - Week #30 - Paint with your 3 fave colors AND then stamp thru a stencil over the top of it!

As you can see I didn't follow this weeks prompt like a good girl. Nope I went off the grid a bit. I did some sample of using a stamp on a stencil but dummy me was using block stamps and not foam (slapping hand against forehead, DOH!!!)

But I do love how my page came out. I only really used one color of paint the blue and very little of it at that. I use black paint to make the beginning of my circles and some red paint on an end of a toilet paper roll and then I broke out my gellatos. I did use an alpha stencil on the inside of the circles and the red ink diamonds. I also used a wood block alpha stamp on background as well. The crazy girl is a part of a collage sheet from Tumble Fish Studio. I also make my own wordart bits.

Here is are a couple other pages  I made in an art journal book I am working on.

I used my Golden high flows acrylics in this one and my neocrayons.

I had a few butterfly die cuts my dear friend, Lynn set me. I also used my Golden high flows acrylics and neocrayons, I love this combo of media. 

• I used a couple art postcards and lots of wrapping paper in this one.

I used my new stencils and alpha stamps. I even drew my own flowers.

One of my dear artsy friends, Skye asked ME to help her out with 10 other artsy gals to make a page for a calendar she is going to have printed up and we will sell them. How flipping cool is that. So here is mine for the month of August.

The vintage gal is from one of  Holliewood Studios kits. The alphas I printed up they are a freebie at MischiefStudios.  I really love how she came out.

Here are some ATC's I also made. 

Well that is it for this week, thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon.

New ATC's and PLP's

Made some new ATC's and PLP's this week. I do sell some over at ARTFUL EXPRESS.

I've been blessed to be able to sell some of my ACEO's and PLP either full decorated or plain and you can decorate them.

The four above was made on a double page watercolor paper. I loved it and need to get more.

With these PLP sets I decorated on in rockabilly art and the other I left plain.

Just playing around after I seen a video tut on how to use one stencil over another.

This page I made with tons of happy mail goodies.

OMG!! I'm starting to hoard paints LOL!!!!

ARTFUL JOURNEYS - WEEK #27 ~ Ocean waves~

ARTFUL JOURNEYS - WEEK #27 ~ Sea/Ocean ~ 

Hello everyone, Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July!! I had a very relaxing weekend doing nothing but art. So this week the prompt was Ocean waves. I am a true blooded Michigander and not much into the Ocean or waves, give me a good old lake any day. There's no sharks or jellyfishes lol to worry about. But anyhoo it took me a moment to wrap my head around this prompt.

I started off by using scraps from background pages I had done all week. I cut them in strips and glued them down on my blank page. Then I fussy cutted out a mermaid I found online.

I glued her down but left her hands along for now. 

My dear friend Yvonne stop buy Friday and brought me some goodies. She just happen to have some cheese cloth in the package and I was think, it would make a great net for my page. I also had some tiny seashells to hot glue down.

When I am in my art room I ALWAYS have music on, and just happens Led Zeppelins song "Down by the seaside came on" 

so I started writing the lyrics in the mermaids body and tail and then titled it over the fishing net.

Yvonne also gave me some beautiful blue glass shavings and I used them as my ocean water, in the photo glue is not all the way dry but I was loving ow it was coming along.

I really love how  she came out.

Some prompt stress me out a bit but once I got my head wrapped around it, I learn not to stress and worry and to just let it flow.

 I made a few PLP Background and PLP and sold them at Artful Express this week. I am very blessed to have some members buy them, helps support my art.

My reto gals PLP

Below are some PLP just backgrounds.

Here are a few ATC's a.k.a ACEO's. I was on a rockabilly reto kick all week. I found some cool art of Crystal Wall Lancaster to use.
