Believe Art Journal Page

I was so excited to get the new set of Seth Apter paints from PaperArtsy a few days ago.  I created this journal page using only those 4 paints, some brayers, a plastic circle (center of a tape roll) and a Seth Apter IO stamp. For some reason I felt like it needed a heart, but my heart is a little wonky. I mixed the buff with the Mahogany and it made the pinkish color of the heart. I wasn't planning on it being that pink, but it's ok. The Believe stamp is from a Donna Downey Unity Stamp Set called Inspire Words. I had fun playing with these colors that are a little out of my usual range.

Friends With Flair Friday at Unity

For  my Unity Friends with Flair Entry this week, I made another mini journal page from my Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Mini Journal. I created a brayered background using my PaperArtsy Fresco Paints in Slate, Turquoise and White. Then, I stamped a Unity Susan Weckesser background stamp on left side in Watering Can Archival Ink. The flow r is from the new Unity Lazy Daisy set and the sentiment is from Unity Donna Downey Empowered Words. The flower was stamped in Leaf Green and Red Geranium Archival Inks and the sentiment was stamped in Versafine Black.

After I stamped the red flower I stamped it a few times over the background stamp to add a little color to he other side of the page. Then I inked the edges of the page with the Red Geranium Archival Ink and smudged the edges with my fingers. To make the flower stand out more, I outlined it with a Faber Castell Pitt Pen. To finish it off I sprayed it a few times with Dylusions White Spray ink and I put my finger in the Red Geranium Ink and smeared some of the red color around the page. I love how fun it is to make the quick page in this mini journal. It makes it easy to experiment with new techniques.  Thanks for stopping by!

Unity Friends with Flair Friday

I made this little canvas using Unity Stamps for the Friday Friends with Flair Challenge. The dressform is from an Angi Blom Itty Bitty stamp set called Mind & Body {dressform} and the words are from a Donna Downey sentiment set called Empowered Words. I created the background using Distress Paints, Stencils, Modeling Paste, Faber Castell Stampers Big Markers, Washi Tape, and Stickles. I colored the dress with Copics and added a few small pearls for a necklace.
