Anything Goes Journal Page By Debs

Happy New Year everyone, Debs here with a slightly different Journal Page for you.

I used Dylusions paints In Vibrant Turqoise, Bubblegum Pink and Fresh Lime and a Ranger blending tool! I started with the Vibrant Turquoise.  Dylusions goes on really beautifully using a blending tool, giving a lovely smooth finish

Then Added some Bubblegum making sure to overlap with the Teal, because the teal is blue based when you put the pink over the top you get a nice shade of purple

Then I added in Lime overlapping the pink this creates an orangey effect because of the yellow in the lime.

I stamped Anything Goes across the middle with the Decay Alphabet Upper and lower case stamps  and black Archival Ink

And then using the Border Stamps in Archival went around each side of the page I used a piece of paper to mask off the edges so that the border lined up nicely

Once this was all done i used the blending tools to add some masking using the Splats and Swirls Mask using the same paints

Sorry the light wasn't terribly good on this one and I got carried away!! 

After the paint had dried i used my white Uniball Signo white pen to go around the outside of everything on the page including the letters, I also went over the border with a black marker to make it more prominent.

Now this was where i got really carried away and I am really sorry but the photo taking went out of the window.  Next i took Chevron 6x6 Mask and using a black micron pen i drew around all of the lines, using the mask as a template.

Once i had completed the whole of the mask I then took out the white pen and doodled in each line as you can see, white dots in the thinner rows and loops in the wider.  I also used a dot stencil and added circles around the outside edge and then drew white lines in each of them.  I also added black dots to the splats and swirls, using the micron pen. 

As always do let us know what you think, we do read all of your comments

Take care Debs

Lots of love, by Titbelsoeur

Hello, Happy Crafters, and happy new year to you and people you love !

I have made these 2 cards with Gelatos, on the "red" one I have stamped the "empty" Lesley's flower with black Archival ink and colored it with Promarkers, then I colored the "full" flower with Gelatos, spritzed it and stamped it all around the card. Then I stamped the sentiment with Plum Archival ink.

I made the "blue" card differently : I first colored the background with Gelatos and diluted it with water, then I stamped the flowers and colored them with Promarkers, and to end I stamped the sentiment and the butterfly with black Archival ink, and added lines and circles with black acrylic paint on caps and credit card.

 

Here are the stamps I used to make these 2 cards :
Lesley's Flowers in New Stamps 
"Lots of love" from Grungy Greetings #1 in Words and sayings
Butterfly from Encyclopaedia Botanica in Katy Leitch

Finnbair inspired Butterfly By Dee

Hi everyone Dee here with you today kicking of the New Year on the Artistic Stamper Team Blog!

I am a great fan of Finnabair's work and have always wanted to try a canvas

 inspired by her work.

The canvas was made by firstly putting embossing paste through The Artistic Stamper

Swirl mask, and allowing it to dry.

I used Neil Walkers butterfly stamp for the main focal piece this 

was made by triple embossing into gold embossing powder.

This was then coloured with alcohol inks once the stamp had

been triple embossed.

The centre piece had crystal gems stuck on to form the body of 

the butterfly. 

The main canvas once dry was painted with Gesso then fresco sage paint

& various colours were used to paint the background. Then

A mix of metallic paints and spray was used to paint 

over the background.

Well that's it from me for today folks please feel free to ask any 

questions if you have any. There is a product list below

Thanks for dropping by and wishing you all

A Happy New Year!

Products Used

1. Artistic Stamper products used :- Swirl Mask, Neil Walkers Butterfly stamp.
2. Fresco Finish paints :- Chalk, blue oyster & sage.
3. Dylusion sprays in lime and chopped pesto

Titbelsoeur :

Then I added water on the edges with a watercolor brush and gently rubbed watercolor chalks to darken. Then let it dry !

I created this by covering a piece of chipboard with paper. Then with a limited palette of three distress inks I coloured the background and stamped out images from Architecture 1, gibson girls 2 and a feather. 

I hope this and the design teams other pieces encourages you to enter this months challenge- anything goes. I look forward to seeing all your entries.

Top Three 2015 by Gemma

Hi All

This is my first ever top three. First I would like to thank Jennie for inviting me to join the creative team, and for the wonderful stamps I have had the pleasure of creating with. 

Looking back at past projects, and choosing three was an interesting process. Some I could easily dismiss as I no longer love them as I did when I created them (I'm sure I am not the only one that looks back at past pieces with mixed feelings), still picking three was difficult. 

My first pick is the Tag Box I made in November.

I love that it has a practical use, it is a piece I will use for years to come. It combines all my favourite  crafty techniques.

My second pick was my first post an Altered CD

Making these altered CDs was such a playful process and looking back I can still remember how excited I was to be invited to join the team.

My third pick was my Poe Tag

This tag shows the other side of how I like to create, with lots of dark/ muted colours and a good quote.

I still love all these projects, am I am very lucky to be able to say I will be taking a workshop on my Tag Box next April at The Artistic Stamper,

I would like to thank everyone for their comments on here, and on my personal blog. I hope to hear from lots more of you in the coming year. You can also find the facebook page here and please join in the monthly challenges, for a chance to win lovely stamps.
