Persist art journal page

Another page from my art journal.  The die cut flowers are Tim Holtz (Sizzix) cut from canvas and sprayed with ink.  The stencil/template is The Crafters Workshop.  The butterfly stamp is Tim Holtz (Stampers Anonymous).  The Persist is athletic tape with Ranger Distress ink and then I just stamped the word on it.  I've also got some of Tim Holtz tissue tape along with some 7 gypsies.  

Dancing fall

Another page in my art journal.  Sorry - I don't recall who this stamp is made by (Graphics 45?).  The leaves are Tim Holtz/Sizzix, cut out of aluminum duct tape and colored with alcohol inks.  The mesh is just drywall tape, and I colored in some of the squares with a white Sakura pen.  Background is paint with some left over rub-ons.

Ode to Jack and Sally

In honor of Halloween I made a page in my journal regarding my favorite Halloween movie:  The Nightmare Before Christmas.  This started with an experiment with image transfer, that didn't work so well.  I'm continuing my plight to purge myself of rub-ons and stickers, (only so I can start hoarding them all over again), so here are several from my stash.  

Mini Halloween Album

This album was started with a Grungeboard Album. If you have any questions about products used or techniques, please leave a comment.  Thanks for visiting!

Metal embellishment is Tim Holtz.  Bottle stickers are Martha Stewart.  Background stamp is also Tim Holtz.  

Started orange cardstock and glued chipboard letter to it.  Adhered stamped tissue paper (from old Simplicity Patterns) on top with matt medium.  Highlighted letters with silver Rub'n Buff.  Black drips are just paint.  The barbed wire is hand wrapped and fixed with some brads from my stash.  All topped with some fine cotton fibers from some gauze I tore up.

These are my favorite pages, since I'm on a steampunk kick lately.   Paper background is Chillingsworth Manor.  The metal  is a aluminum foil through a Cuttlebug embossing folder and painted black for patina.  I filled in the back with modeling paste and then tore it into strips and glued it to the paper.  Crumpled glassine is also used here to make the pocket.

Chillingsworth Manor paper.  Tim Holtz crow.   Tree branches are The Crafters Workshop - mixture of modeling paste and cheap black gesso.  It turned out to not be the consistency I wanted, but went with it anyway.  Don't buy cheap gesso.

Paper is Pink Paislee, Phantom.

Background paper is Carta Bella, All Hallow's Eve., with some Chillingsworth on top along with some stickers. 

Halloween cards

My Halloween cards for this year.  This basic design was a challenge in an old Stampington & Company publication and for some reason it sticks with me, so I used it this year.  Paper here is Echo Park Paper Co.  Chillingsworth Manor.  The crow is Tim Holtx (Sizzix), the strip down the center is Martha Stewart on both.  The bling bat sticker and black skull are both K & Company die cuts.  The Happy Halloween stamp is Inkadinkado.

Skull

Another quick journal page.  This one started out as left over black colored modeling paste I mixed up for another project (Black birds Sept. 27th post).  I used it test drive my new TCW Dylusions Letter Jumble stencil.  Then it was sprayed with Tattered Angels ink and drips are just watered down paint.  Stamps are (remarkably - NOT the same company, which is amazing since they are nearly identical), My Mind's Eye, Lost and Found Halloween and Recollections, Skeletons.  Again, some rub-ons from my stash and I should mention the white circles are inspired by Donna Downey "dripage", done with a toilet paper roll.

Quick cat journal entry

Quick page made with items in my stash.  Background is just whatever was left on my brush from other projects, in this case black.  The red is ink.  I'm on a mission to use all my stickers and rub-ons and I have a lot of them.  So I started with this image of a cat, from Tim Holtz Seasonal paper pack, topped with the velvet web sticker.  I then applied my current favorite texture material - tissue paper with gel medium and highlighted with gold Rub'n Buff.  A few rub-ons added at end.   Took me no time at all.
