Numbers Theme for Art Journal Page Swap

At the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group, I'm hosting an art journal page swap.  The theme for my March page is numbers.  For the top photo, I started out using Colorbox Spritzers to add the base colors.  Next came stencils with paint, and then a number stencil with modeling paste.  I colored in the Dylusions stamped image with Starlight pens and used the vintage ticket to ground the image.  I added the Dylusions quote and outlined the stamped images with a Stabilio All Pencil.  I sprayed the page with workable fixative to seal the pencil markings.  For the bottom photo, I started out with a vintage ledger page for the background.  I used a Tim Holtz layering stencil with red spray ink.  I stenciled the numbers with brown paint.  I added a Tim Holtz Found Relatives image, Tim Holtz vellum ephemera, vintage phone book strip, washi tape, vintage tickets and a dictionary page with holes cut out.  I painted the holey dictionary page with brown paint.

Spirited and Strong Art Journal Pages

 

I finished up this art journal spread last night.  I recently bought some Spellbinders dies on clearance and used one set for this spread.  I love these arch dies. The stamps are from Dina Wakley.  I used stencil from Joggles, Stencil Girl, The Crafter's Workshop, Tim Holtz and Dina Wakley.  The hearts were made using a stencil and flexible modeling paste. I colored the women with Copic makers.   Thanks for coming by my blog!

Flower Fairy Art Journal Page

I got Jane Davenport's new book about drawing/painting faces.  Of course, this looks nothing like any of the art in the book.  This work was done in a larger art journal.  I tried to make her a fairy with a pointy ear, but didn't have a reference how to do the shading of the ear.  I am happy with my effort.  Thanks for coming by my blog!
