Alison CT- Let Them Stare

Hi everyone today I'm sharing this simple, bright, rainbow coloured journal page. 

To begin, I created a rainbow effect using my Inktense blocks. I left this to dry naturally.
I used a stencil brush to add areas of white gesso through the lines and dots texture disc from set four. This was left to dry naturally.
Using the grid stamp from journal art elements three, with versafine clair strawberry, hawthorn rose and verdent, I added interest to the background. 
Next I used the sqiggle stamp from journal art elements one, I stamped it twice using versafine clair nocturne ink. 
On seperate card I used the nocturne ink to stamp the large dragonfly from the dragonfly stamp set. I coloured the dragonfly with watercolour paints. Then I cut it out.

Before I glued the dragonfly to the page, I felt the background needed a little more, so I added the cross and dots stamp from journaling essentials one using nocturne ink. 

Finally I added a sentiment from the wordage mixed messages four. I used nocturne ink to stamp it.

Products used:
White Gesso
Inktense Blocks
Versafine Clair - Nocturne 
                             Verdant
                             Hawthorn Rose
                             Strawberry 
Superskinny thin - border slim
Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour paints

Thank you for taking a look.

Sally CT - Smile Sunshine!

  

Hi There! For my blog post this week I thought I would try and use some pastel colours.... 

I began by stamping the Doodle Art sunflower in Memento ink then coloured it using Alcohol markers
On a 6x4 piece of mixed media card I blended Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass Distress oxide. 
I placed the Circles 1 Big ones inkable over the inky background and blended a little Picked Raspberry Distress oxide in through it. 
I removed the inkable and used the same ink to stamp some of the stamps from Journaling Essentials #3 in the circles and around the edges.
I matted and layered the background onto a 5x7" card, then added the sunflower and a wordy sticker sentiment on foam pads. 
Here is the finished card again, which turned out a lot less pastel than I intended! 
I used:
Distress oxide inks in Tumbled Glass, Spun sugar and Picked Raspberry
Memento Tuxedo black ink
Alcohol markers
5x7 card
6x4 piece of mixed media card
Coordinating card for matting and layering
Foam pads

These colours are not my usual go to colours, but I love the way it turned out! There is a brand new challenge over on the Bee Crafty Facebook group where the theme is 'Things with Wings'. I do hope you will come and join in the fun!
