Take Some Time Out...
by DT Ann
An art-journal page from me this week... wasn’t so sure where I was going with this, not overly happy with it so I decided to make a coffee, have some time out & sit in the garden watching the birds... Inspiration comes from many places, take your time you never know what will transpire !!
I used:
Stamps: Birds & Butterflies Reg & XL
Texture Boarders & matching dies
Inkables: Big Ones Cotswold Stone
Inks: Distress Oxides -
Salvaged Patina, Rustic Wilderness, Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain
Versafine Olympia Green
Distress Oxide Spray - Frayed Burlap
Pens: Gelly Roll - white & black
Posca - AquaGreen
To create this:
Swipe the Salvaged Patina across the Cotswold Inkable, spritz with water lay inkside down across the middle of your page.. spritz again & repeat until your page is covered... it will be lighter above & below your first print.
Replace the Inkable back over the middle print, (covering the Salvaged Patina print) & spritz with the Distress Oxide Spray (Frayed Burlap) ...
Remove everything, splatter some water onto your page & dry...
Ink up the Leafy Branch “inner” D’Inkable with Rustic Wilerness spritz with water & use like a stamp around your page ( see photo above).
Then use the ”outer” Leafy Branch with Salvaged Patina ink around the edges of your page...
Next stamp various leaves using the Queen Bee Journaling Botanical stamps.. I used the two green Oxides & Olympus Green Versafine inks...
Then add Rustic Wilerness, though the Leafy D’Inkable..
On a separate piece of paper stamp, with Versafine Clair Nocturne, one each of the regular birds & one XL bird.. colour with the Oxide Inks & die cut...
Stamp a boarder around your page, I used the small dotty boarder stamp...
Again on another piece of paper ink through the D’Inkable Leafy Branch with a mix of Salvage Patina & Rustic Wilderness, use a green Micron to outline & then fussy cut..
Glue your birds to the page, cut up the leaf & glue around the bird,this adds dimension & grounds the birds.
Stamp your sentiment & glue to page....
Add some extra details using Posca & Gelly Roll pens ...
Thanks for stopping by... Ann x
