Just another day floating around, felling ungrounded ….
Using my new Grove Street Stencil and a RubberMoon Inkpad – sometimes just using the middle of the circle to create the background.
I think playing on this spread grounded me a bit that day ;)
Here are some of the supplies I used:
I made some cards using my new Actually I can Rubberstamp set.
I used some Derwent pencils to color in the stamped images and then blended some areas with a wet brush together.
Fun, quick and now I cannot wait to send those out :)
Here are some of the supplies I used:
thank you Rebecca- glad you like them :)
“Be positive, patient and persistent”
I used my new Maiko Stamp from the Actually I Can Rubber Stamp Set and stamped it on a piece of painted and stamped deli paper. Then I cut it out and pasted it to the background with fluid medium. It is such a fun and easy way to add a colorful focal point to an art journal spread.
For the background I used my Clam Hex Foam Stamp and rolled with a brayer different green tones on top and then created a pattern.
And last but not least I also added the “Actually, I can ! ” Stamp from the set with the same name .)
Here are some of the supplies I used besides the acrylic paints:
Thinking in Circles- ughhhh -…LOL. But I had fun making this art journal spread using some of my new and old Rubberstamps.
I stamped the background texture with the Torn Layers Stamp from my Cardboard set and then stamped on top in red with the positive and negative Circle Drive Stamp from my Large and Small Circle Jumble Set.
I stamped Millie from the Actually I can set on top of a piece of deli paper on which as you can see, I had stamped before and also used some left over paint on. I do that a lot and use the deli paper as collage elements. I cut out the image and then adhered it to the spread with gel medium using a layer underneath and on top of the deli paper to totally fuse it into the background.
Added some journaling and to brighten things a bit up I added some yellow to the blouse with a marker as well as some sprinkles by taping on the marker.
This was fun. You can find my rubberstamps in my store – and here are some of the supplies I used for this spread:
Circles are totally my thing too! I love them! I think I pretty much use them in everything I do. I love what you did with yours. Thanks for the constant inspiration!
thank you so much Jill! Yeah circles are so versatile and fun – hand drawn, stamped, stenciled …ha I love them all :)
She struggled for she wasn’t sure what the goal should be and she didn’t know how to just live in the moment.
I stamped with Archival ink and the Valley Road stamps from my Large and Small Circle Jumble Rubberstamp Set on top of a blue painted background.
I used a blue Stabilo Woody Pen to create some scribbles and went over the sketch again – I like the soft texture of the pencil versus the brush strokes and surface of the acrylic painted background.
Here are some of the supplies I used – as always you can find most of my stamps and stencils in my store here.
I particularly like how you’ve been making patterns on clothes with your stamps.
That statement just about sums up life.
Have a delightful day Nat.
Thank you sue- I love making those patterns – and I wish some of those clothes would magically appear in my wardrobe LOL! Have a delightful weekend Sue!
At the center of your being your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want!
Great…lol- off to the center ;)
Using my new Small and Large Circle Jumble Rubber Stamp Sets to create some fun patterns. I loved playing with fine and more chunky embossing powders – it has been ages since I used those. I used the small circles only for the bolder pattern with the thick embossing powder as it works better on bigger stamps as the design doesn’t just bleed and melt together.
It is funny how a certain supply keeps you enthralled for a long time and then it is suddenly totally gone from your mind- and then it come back. Actually since all of a sudden all the mixed media world is into it, I kind of was reminded how much I used it to create texture on mixed media canvases etc.
yum! Have you lately pulled out something you haven’t used in ages?
Here are some of the supplies I used besides acrylic paints:
Love the embossing. I always struggle with it.
The gold tones are wonderful and the words are right on.
Sue, it is so much fun. It is usually just a matter of watching closely the changes that appear when heating it up.
It’s so empowering to say “this isn’t serving me” and walk away…as long as you are not a meany about it.
Ha- LOL- this spread is all over the place …but it was fun to play around. I also used my new Amsterdam Foam Stamps – small and big :)
This spread started as a demo page in one of my workshops and I think the lady sketched in green just didn’t really do it for me …but heck …you know ….it is not always about a masterpiece it is also about just trying things and playing. And I also think it is about being kind to yourself – why beating yourself up for something that is supposed to be fun and loose and bring you joy.
Alas: I do love the color combination and the background with the houses and the Amsterdam pattern. There…much better ;)
Here are the supplies I used besides acrylic paints
Wohooo – Here you go – a special RubberMoon release of a new set “Actually, I can!” – Meet those two awesome Ladies and my mantra :)
Here are two cards with the Ladies colored in
An art journaling page – with Maiko being stamped on some painted deli paper
And one with Millie – also printed on deli paper.
I hope you like the “Actually I can!” Set as much as I do. They are fun for cards, and art journal pages and I cannot wait for you to see more examples and what the design team does with them :)
So much fun to make some cards with my new Circle Jumble Sets. I used the Circle Drive Positive and Negative Stamps of both Sets (small and large) and just played around.
For this card I used some dye based inks on a small round gel plate and then stamped with the plate to create some overlapping circles in different colors. Then I used the small positive and negative Circle drive and stamped on top.
For this card I repeated the stamping with the inked up round gel plate and then used the Large Positive Circle Drive stamp in the center and the Small Central Drive on the sides.
And here I just stamped the Large Positive and Negative Circle Drive overlapping each other and used the Topper stamp from the set on the side. It was fun to do a coordinating set of cards- and I stacked them away to use for a variety of occasions.
Here are the supplies I used for the cards
Love these stamps, got mine this week!
