Dictionary Pages

I have two more of my

Dictionary art Journal pages

to share.

Spring was made some time ago,

but I thought I would share now 

I have another to show.

These both come before

Architecture in the handmade album.

~~~~~~

Spring below uses various stamps

& I painted the texture paste roses.

The background was just a wash of soft

colours.

Hares is the next page.

I have to admit to this one

being my favourite!

Background made with brushos

then bleached away so I

had a spot to stamp the Hares.

Moon is by Inkylicious.

I used gilding wax to add shimmer

& Heidi Swapp Gold Shine for dots.

I used a free stencil to add the tiny

stars  all over.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day, to my Dad!

I created another bird themed

card for him.

This time I went for a

water scene.

I blended the background

using my favourite inks,

Chipped Sapphire, Peacock Feathers,

& Broken China distress ink.

I ended up with a background

I am very pleased with.

All dies were free with a

magazine. I cut them

all out of white cardstock

Coloured with Inktense pencils.

More to share...

I'm beginning to get the hang

of this "Updating the blog" lark!

First up, we have a CAS Thank You.

This was to thank my old landlord

for forwarding on a parcel that should

not have gone to my old address,

but technology isn't always the best!!!

I mixed Golden Light Moulding Paste

with Windsor & Newton Iridescent Medium,

with a few drops of Distress Re-inker

Salty Ocean.

The result, this very soft Eau de Nil shade.

Simple Thank You Sentiment (Freebie)

to complete the design.

Tim Holtz Swirl Stencil.

This next card uses the same stencil,

with just the iridescent medium with the 

texture paste. I love this paste, 

it is like working with air, it is so light.

I used Stripped Santoro Gorjuss paper

with a light scraping of Liqutiex Heavy Gesso.

 All stamps used are freebies from various magazine covers.

This card was for all the staff to sign for

a colleagues birthday on 01 June.

 Finally, for today, I have 

another Dictionary Journal page to share.

I have given up trying to share them in the order

they are made. Purely because some are

taking an age to dry.

 

This page is Architecture.

I am a bit of a geek. I love

Church Arch windows.

Just love the shapes, (as I do eggs!)

 Anyway, I used texture paste through

a TCW Gothic Stencil & also added

a few texture bits from Hearts Stencil. 

I coloured using Chocolate, Dark Chocolate

and Midnight Rendevous 

Lindys sprays & magicals.

The wording is computer typed and paper stained with coffee.

I finished it with an arched window stamp

from Viva Decor (Sympathy set)

I think I also rubbed dark gelatos over and

possibly some gold highlights using

Gold Brown Inka Gold.

Anyway, I couldn't achieve the depth of

colour I really wanted. I just don't have enough 

shades of brown. (YET!!!)
