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

Queen Bee Journaling Botanical Sprigs

Ticker Tape 1

Inkables: Big Ones Cotswold Stone

D’Inkables-Leafy Branch

Inks: Distress Oxides - 

Salvaged Patina, Rustic Wilderness, Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain

 Versafine Clair Nocturne 

Versafine Olympia Green

Distress Oxide Spray - Frayed Burlap 

Pens: Gelly Roll - white & black

Posca - AquaGreen

Journal - Dylusions

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
