Home Comforts

Hi Everyone! Today I have another page build up for Birgit Koopsen's 31 Products Challenge on Instagram.

Day 21 - Collaged Under-Papers

Day 22 - DecoArt Sand Texture Paste scraped through a stencil

Day 23 - DecoArt Traditions Quinacridone Gold Acrylic Paint, a thin wash applied all over

Day 24 - Swiped an embossing ink pad over the texture, then used Stampendous Frantage Shabby White EP to emboss

Day 25 - Pebeo Prisme Fantasy Paint, Turquoise and English Red. As these paints are rather old, there wasn't the usual effect of the colours mingling and creating cells sadly

Day 26 - Highlighted the diamonds with a black Stabilo Aquarellable all surface pencil, and used a wet paintbrush to activate. Then I finished with a book text quote.

As home is always a comfort, I'm entering my page in Linda's Creature Comforts Challenge at Art Journal Journey.

Thanks so much for visiting. Wishing you all a very happy Sunday.

December 2017 Art Journal Calendar

Hello Everyone!

I finally found time to create my December calendar page, only a couple of days late, so hopefully I'll remember what I did yesterday! 

As it's getting near to Christmas, I added a bit of sparkle with Stickles glitter glue. I also used some iridescent Pebeo paint and metallic silver DecoArt paint for a bit of shimmer. My snowy journaling splats were made with an Artistic Stamper stencil and Snowflake Fresco paint.

I'm celebrating the Christmassy sparkle and entering my pages in Sheila's challenge over at Art Journal Journey.
