'It's important who you travel with'.... Journal Page

Hello Everyone,

Shilpa here,

Today, I am back with Journal page.
If you have missed my mixed media canvas post..here is the link..

You may recognize, I've used Dylusion colors on my page.

yes, I've tried latest Dylusion paint - Squeezed Orange....and I'll say I need to add all colors in my collection. They are perfect for Art Journaling.

Its very easy to apply colors on pages with Baby wipes...Dyan has shown this technique during CHA. It dried immediately.

 Another unique feature of Dylusion paint is, we can create another layer on it with spray inks.....thats awesome for someone like me who loves to create layers after layers.

I used Finnabair stencil and Dylusion inks sprays- White linen and Pure sunshine for my next layer.

  

For texture, I applied Wendy Vecchi White embossing paste through Dyan's falling leaves stencil.

Here is one more fun part,

I cut out lovely butterflies from Tim's Butterfly duo die, heat embossed them with 

Wendy Vecchi Buttercup embossing powder. Next I used coordinating
embossing pads (sorry for glare on it) to create texture on them...applied Archival inks on raised area..they look awesome.

I colored leaves with dylusion paint and outlined them with white gel pen.

I stenciled more with Finnabair Netting stencil and archival ink.

And this beautiful flower stamp and quote is from Wendy Vecchi's - Art and You stamp set
 - "Its not where you go that's important ..its who you travel with."

Thanks so much for stopping by.
I'll be here again next week with new creation.

Multiplicity

Let’s face it, we’ve all had days where we wish we could multiply ourselves, right?  I had several of “those” days!  Being pulled in so many directions, sometimes I wish I had a (rubber) room where I could put a canvas and just sling paint.  I mean really sling paint!  Instead, I decided to relieve some stress by “spritzing” inks.

I started out with Dylusions Ink Sprays, randomly spraying the pages, misting with water and using a paper towel roll to mop up excess inks.  Then I got an idea, and decided to play chemist.  I had some old spray bottles which were (I believe) originally fabric paint spray bottles.  I got them at the local thrift store, brought them home, cleaned them and put them away until now.  Well,  I just played by mixing gesso with a little Dylusions ink.  I also added several slivers of Faber-Castell Gelatos, staying with the same color.  I didn’t capture my chemistry experiment on pictures because I wasn’t prepared for it to turn out kind of cool, lo!  The cool thing wasn’t so much the mixed inks, it was those thrift store find spray bottles.  The spray comes out in a circle.  At first I was a little dismayed but then the longer I looked at it the more I liked it.
Ok, NOW I grabbed the camera….. since my mind was still wishfully thinking of multiplying myself, I pulled out Flossie, Casey and Sally stencils and stared “spritzing”. 

That’s how it turned out and honestly, I could have left it like that.  I really liked all the girls.  Kind of reminds me of those psychedelic James Bond movie trailer.

I probably should have left it as it, but I needed to do some journaling, which I did in a black water proof  ink pen, which I also used to doodle around each figure.  I just got TCW – Mini Stripes Explosion stencil in my last package from Kim and wanted to use it.  So I used part of it to give her skirt some pizzazz.

Next I spritzed my Dylusions Ink Sprays onto my craft sheet, spritzed some water over them and using a brush, filled in the girls.  I had used a Sharpie paint marker on a couple of girls but didn’t like how flat the color looked.  I just brushed the ink right over the Sharpie paint.

Texture was added by randomly stamping Unity Stamp Co. Plump Polka Dots,  She Art Print Texture stamps and Stampington & Co. Create with Abandon cling stamp.  I also added some Idea-ology Remnant Rubs rub-ons and used up my white gesso left on the craft sheet by dabbing a spray bottle cap into it and randomly stamping circles around the page.
Idea-ology Alpha Parts Signmaker was used to add the title and I called it quits.  I could have added a border, added faces, which I tried and ended up having to cover it up with gesso. 

I have to say that I enjoyed not worrying about “coloring” inside the lines (as you can see).  I loved using the inks like watercolors and love that I was able to “just let go” and not worry so much about how it’s going to look.  Seriously, just sling that paint and ink and feel the stress leave!
I hope you enjoyed my “stress relief” art therapy and more importantly, I hope you were inspired to get inky!
