Art Journal Play Time

Hey Hey 

Today I  thought I would share with you all a double page layout in my large Dylusions Art Journal.

This time I didn't use any texture pastes etc and just kept it simple with minimal supplies a bit of a back to the basics.

So here is what I came up with although it was more of a go with the flow play

No Flash

 Flash

For this layout I used the following supplies:

Large Dylusions Art Journal

Distress Oxide Inks

Water Spray

Cog Die Cuts in Kraft Card

Tim Holtz Small Talk Stickers

Tim Holtz Paper Dolls

It is quite surprising what you can achieve with just a few supplies which is something we seem to forget when we are so used to using texture paste and more, as we say less is more at times and i really enjoyed doing this with little supplies, it was a bit of a Grab 5 like Adele (Inkie Quill) does.

I hope you like what I have done here and it inspires you

Steampunk ATC's

Hi all

Well it has been a while but I have a few new things to share with you all, starting with some Steampunk ATC's.

These ATC's were done for a swap I took part in, back in May run by Charmed Cards and Crafts and of cause I loved every minute of making and swapping these.

So here is what I came up with

This picture was taken with the flash

Without Flash 

I used a number of different products to achieve these ATC's, here is a list of what was used

Thick White Cardstock

Modelling Paste

Stencil

Black Gesso

Miss Moneypenny Paint from Indigoblu

3D Printed cogs

Die Cut Cogs from greyboard 

Sentiment stamp from a Visible Image stamp set 

Prima Opal Magic and Alchemy waxes 

Copper Embossing Powder

I love love love how they turned out and the way the prima waxes really bought out the detail of the cogs etc.

I hope you like what I have done and if yu would like to take part in the swap you can find all details over on the Facebook Group >> HERE <<
