Vintage Style Art Journal Page

This is an art journal page for the ongoing monthly art journal page swap I'm hosting at Collage Stuff.  The recipient requested a vintage theme. The page was painted with yellow Dylusions paint toned down with some white Dylusions paint and overstamped with a brocade rubber stamp.  I used the yellow Dylusions paint with an Artistcellar flower stencil and white Dylusions paint with a Dina Wakley stencil on the vintage book page.  The striped paper is an envelope that I received in the mail with yellow and white paint around the edges.  The children are from the Tim Holtz Found Relatives.  The number 5 card is also from Tim Holtz.  I cut up a vintage math flashcard and adhered brown vintage ribbon under it.  The yellow butterflies are from Collage Stuff.  I made this page while watching the movie, "The Guest".  I recommend it!  Thanks for coming by my blog!

Standards Art Journal Spread

This is another art journal spread in Lin's journal.  The base of the pages are vintage phone book pages.  I added some stenciled deli paper done in red tones with glitter bead gel added for texture.  It was too bright, so I toned it down with white paint.  In the middle of spread, I used a flower stencil with red paint, toned down the red with white paint, stamped in black and more white paint over the black stamping.  The woman image is from Tim Holtz.  The woman images were colored with Copic markers and a red glitter gel pen.  The words are a Dylusions stamp.  Thanks for coming by my blog!

Fearless Mixed Media Art

At the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group, we are doing a mixed media collage art swap.  This is my finished piece.  I used a variety of stencils, acrylic paint, vintage text, and modeling paste.   Thanks for coming by my blog!

January Art Journal Page Swap

At the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group, we're doing an art journal page swap starting in January.  We will each do one page (front and back) from a loose leaf bound journal and send it on.  This is for Laurie and her theme was something like bugs, butterflies and insects.  So there are butterflies on here! I drew this face on the background it was hard to see the sketch lines that I had drawn. I had fun creating this page.  Thanks for coming by my blog!

Faces Art Journal - Faces #12

I sketched out these 2 faces last week and the proportions are off.  Way off!  That's OK, because flowers make everyone beautiful!  Thanks for coming by my blog!
