DecoArt Blogger Program Be Bold Art Journal

Hi all 

I have a new journal page to share using my new DecoArt paints and my word for 2017 is bold.

I have been playing with the stamps i bought in the sales and wanted to add a lot of texture so i stared off by applying the Crafters Acrylic to the Gelli Plate and transferring it on to the blank pages.

I then added some texture stamps around the edges and stamped circles in the centre. I used Andy Skinners new stencil  Bubbles to draw an outline around the textured circles. I then added more texture using the Bubbles Stencil with the modeling paste.

I took some of the prints i created earlier with the Gelli plate and hand drew some hearts. I then used the Oak House Studio Texture Squares to add texture.

The words i created with the Indigo Blue Circus font stamps and i just cut them out and stuck them down

Creativity Magazine Competition Layout Take 2

 Have you ever made a layout for  competition and noticed a slight blip on your page? that's what happened to me and the more i looked at the more i noticed it. so i had to rewrite my journaling only i had ran out of the backing paper i used last time and because i was using recycled packaging every page is unique. At least i have a copy to keep in my album now.

 bubble wrap is one of those cheap yet effective ways of adding texture to your layouts and you can keep using it because you can swill it under the tap and save it for next time.

 i have started to experiment with gresso. i painted over some recycled card and stamped over it with the Urban stamps Postcard writing stamp.

My original layout with a blip in my hand writing. i know it's only small but it was bugging me!
