30 Days of Mixed Media with Ana - Days 4 - 6

Hi Everyone!

Here are some more fun techniques for Ana's Instagram challenge.

Day 4 - Glue. I made some masks with my glue gun, then used them with spray inks. I also drew circles on card with my glue gun, painted with acrylics, then highlighted the glue circles with Treasure Gold.

Day 5 - Gesso. I used black and white gesso through a Carabelle Studio stencil. I added distress ink to the black one, with splashes of water. On the white gesso, I spritzed with water, then dripped Liquitex Acrylic Ink.

Day 6 - Stamps. I got my 5x3" Gelli Plate out, applied acrylic paint, then stamped into the paint with Carabelle Studio stamps. I printed sections of each colour of paint on the cards. Then I added stamping with paint and black archival ink. I'm linking these cards to the More Mixed Media Challenge, Anything Goes with Optional Yellow.

I hope I've inspired you to play.

Love & blessings,
Alison xox

Art Soothes The Soul

Hi Everyone!

I have an art journal page to share today, that I'm linking to Eileen's 'Green' theme at Art Journal Journey. The page started with various green inks, before I added lots of other media.

Kasia from Everything Art is running a week long challenge on Facebook and Instagram, with prompts to soothe our souls. It's called Soothe Me Art Journaling. The challenge started last friday, but I only spotted it yesterday, so I'm a few days behind. This is my page for day one.

I hope you're all managing to keep calm and carry on creating.
