Today
I have some Art Journal pages to share with you, made using lots of fun products available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.
A few weeks ago I shared some pages made with Dylusions paints. Well, today I'm using Dina Wakley paints. l love paints, and I seem to need to have to buy complete ranges of ALL paints haha!! Well, then new DWM paints came out - so I had to order them all. I actually like the smaller sized bottles. I find they are easier to use. Also I have had trouble with a number of lids on the larger tubes - they either dont seal properly or start to break off and then the paint thickens.
Anyways, for this first page I was inspired by the gorgeous and talented Lisa Oxley to use black paint, and to remove colour using a stencil.
I've started by adding some strips of book paper to my page with gel medium, then applying white gesso to pages in my my Small Dylusions journal. Then I added Magenta, Sky, lime, and white Dina Wakley paints. Once this was dry I added black DWM paint across my page, then placed down a triangles stencil and used a baby wipe to remove the paint - cool huh!.
Next I added a few more stencils (corn cob) with different coloured paints (using a sponge), then some stamps.
I added some marks and splats with watered down black and white paints put in a Fineline bottle. I put 2 parts paint with 1 part water - but best to add the paint first then add water a bit at a time until you get the right consistency. If it is too think it wont come out of the fine nozzle. This is great to use to scribble on your page!!
I drew a few birds on my page with the white Fineliner bottle. I'm not much of an artist but are happy with these quick and rustic birds :) Lastly I added some Tim Holtz small talk stickers.
Of course I needed to do another art journal page - this time using the new DWM paints (to justify buying them lol!
Again I started by adding some strips of book paper to my page with gel medium, then applying white gesso to pages in my my Small Dylusions journal. Then I added the new Sedona, Peacock, Olive, Marine, Eggplant, and Buff Dina Wakley paints. Once this was dry I added black DWM paint across my page. Next it was time to play with adding marks using paint/paintbrush, and my white Fineliner bottle. Lastly I added some Tim Holtz small talk stickers and a stamp from the Dina Wakley "Gal Quotes" stamp set.
Thanks so much for stopping by

The April Colour of the month at Imaginarium Designs
chipboard is "GREEN". We would love for you to
join in the challenge and create a project using the colour green then send a photo to
Jane at sales@imaginariumdesigns.net.au by 23rd April 2018 and you will be in the running
to win a fabulous chipboard prize pack!!
I've created a scrapbook page for this challenge where I've done some stash busting and found then used old supplies I've been hoarding!!
I
started by using white cardstock and used a spatula to swipe different shades of green paint (Dylusions paints) across my page.
Once this had thoroughly dried (which did take some time as the paint was thick in places) I started work on my page. I took a chevron bag and tore a large piece off to mat my photo on. Then I added some gauze, tags, sequin pocket, flowers and flair. Finally I added some chipboard - I left it raw for this project, and I love this look on the page!
How cool is this title! Jane recently send us each a mystery pack of chipboard and I received a few titles I hadnt previously seen - let me tell you there are so many to choose from and its a quick and fabulous way to add a title to your page!
In the top left and bottom right I added these strips of chipboard from Lous frame and bars I love the look of these bars!
In the bottom right I added a journalling tag, handwritten journalling, paint splats, and some fun crosses.
