Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 5

Day 5 of 31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

So we have 3 colours: Mint, Grey and Green

An Affirmation Quote: I love who I am becoming

An element: Keys

Today I got my Neo II Crayons out and had a play.

I also used my Visible Image Creative Chaos stamp set with Distress Oxide inks.

Some White and Green acrylic paints with a couple of stencils from my stash - I think they both might be Dylusions ones - the green one is.

I went over the flowers with my Black Life of Colour paint pen to bring it out of the background.

I love who I am becoming with my art journals - a journey I am enjoying.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 4

Day 4 of 31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

So we have 3 colours: Green, Yellow and Brown

An Affirmation Quote: Seek progress not perfection

An element: Numbers

So today I decided to use some Sprays! 

I grabbed my Dylusions Fresh Lime ink spray and a yellow Shimmer Spray from my stash.

Once they were dry, I got my Darkroom Door Number Jumble stencil and used it with some Light modeling paste. Once dry, I rubbed some Ground Expresso Distress Paint over it.

I really love how it was looking, except for a messy brown patch. 

No problem, just adhere my girl on top of it! She was going on the other page, but you know what? she looks much better where she is.

This girl is a leftover from a class by Michelle Grant at Hillbilly's last Virtual Retreat.

I hand wrote my affirmation and called her done.

I think this is my favourite so far!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Arsinic & Lace

This month I created a card and a tag for my project to inspire you, using the Arsinic & Lace Digital Craft Kit by Gecko Galz.

Being that it's October, what better projects to make then Halloween ones!

I created my clusters in my word document and printed off.

After fussy cutting, I put them aside and created my backgrounds. 

My card I used a Visble Images stencil and distress inks and then popped my cluster on with foam dots to give some dimension.

I used a preprinted tag and added a die cut with some bakers twine and ink splats. Again adhering my cluster with foam dots. Lastly adding some tulle in the top hole.

I must admit I did have a bit of fun with them and stepped out of my comfort zone a tad with them.

I hope you like them and are inspired to join in on one of our many challenges this month.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 3

Day 3 of 31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

So we have 3 colours: Blue, Silver and Purple

An Affirmation Quote: I Dream, I Believe, I Receive

An element: Arrows

I decided to use my Faber-Castell water paints for a change, so used a blue and purple. I did go over them a second time to add some depth.....ohhh look at me learning right there!

I then used some white acrylic paint to cover some of the splashes and give a more brighter white to the layout.

My image is from Michelle Grant's Shine past Challenge pack. I printed her on tissue paper.

Once adhered down, I then used my water paints to blend her into my page connecting the top and bottom layers.

I added some Silver stars using a Bee Arty Stencil and Colour Blast Steel Colour Paste.

I stamped my affirmation on using waterproof black ink. 

I really love the way she turned out, and only realised doing this post that I totally forgot the "arrows".....lol, oh well, lucky there is no right or wrong!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 2

Day 2 of 31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

So we have 3 colours: Orange, Pink and Yellow.

An Affirmation Quote: Ny Creativity is Endless

An element: Circles

I used Art by Marlene acrylic paints along with black and white.

Lol, must say it was a bit of a hot mess, but I kept on going!

I used a Finnabair stencil I have, only one I own which was a retreat prize, with black to try draw the eye away from the brightness! Then one of my circle stencils that I have no idea who's it is but I love it, with white to again tone it down.

I used one of my Art by Marlene stamp sets (circles) on a book page and then fussy cut. I also used a page from one of my Daphne's Dairy magazines and punch some larger circles out.

Once I had adhered these on my page, I used my Life of Colour Paint pens to pen my Affirmation and also add colour to the circles.

Can't say I am totally happy with it, but I can say I learnt a few things and can only get better by doing.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 1

31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

Wish me luck as we all know I never get these done and finished on time - cough cough, if ever.

I still have 10 days of July's 31 days. So lets see if I can do better!

So we have 3 colours: Turquoise, Gold and Green. 

An Affirmation Quote: Trust the Process.

An element: Trees

I used my 3 colours along with black to try to create a mystic forest.

My tree/leaves are using a Bee Arty stencil.

My Alice peeking through the door is by Vectoria Designs and my Curiouser Alice is from a small Paper Bag from Dasio.

I used my Life of Colour Black Paint pen to pen my Affirmation.

 

Apart from my handwriting, I love how this page came to life!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
