Hot Glue Gun Resist

I covered my pages with gesso and then added colour with stencils and spray inks then I used a hot glue gun to write the word Dream on the top page and decorate the hearts on the bottom page - love the way it acts as a resist. I did lots of stamping and used some rub ons to add wording to my pages - quite pleased with the results - I'll probably add some journalling to them later

Alcohol ink backgrounds

I always thaught that you had to use glossy cardstock for alcohol inks - how wrong was I - for these backgrounds I gessoed my pages and then for one used alcohol inks and blew them around with a straw - the other one was done with alcohol inks put on to a pad in stripes and then just rubbed over the page - fab aren't they. I filled in the white spaces on the blown one with silver mixative

Art Journal pages

What fun I've had creating these pages - I used texture paste,pan pastels, lots of stencils and bits and pieces along with serviettes, stamping and even some sand !!!

These pages fall in with the challenge set on Take a Word which this week is Wings

Doodling pages

I wasn't quite sure where these pages were going to go when I started but am quite pleased with the finished result. I again started with gesso and pan pastels - did my doodling - added some stamping and a couple of bits of ephemera and then did my journalling

I think these pages fit in well with the Three Muses Challenge where this week the theme is "Words"

Journal pages

Another 2 pages done for my journal - I'm having so much fun creating them. I started with a coat of gesso then added colour with my pan pastels - used colour wash spray through a stencil to add the lettering - added siome stamping and pieces cut out from a magazine along with soem bits of ephemera I finished off by adding my wording

I think these fit in well with the Wednesday Stamper challenge where the theme is "Numbers"

More journal pages

I really like both of these pages Lots of collaging and colouring going on along with some stamoping and stitching. The poppies are from a serviette - aren't they gorgeous.

Thanks for looking and leaving a comment

And another

Another page

Journal page

I used Rangers Dabbers and Gesso to create the background for this page - I then added some stamping and some bits cut from magazines. I used a music stencil and stencils I'd made for my hearts and then coloured them with dabbers and outlined them - the three hearts on the left were a gift from my friend Joy. I fiished off by adding my wording which I had generated on my pc using a new font I've just got - again a lot of fun was had creating the page

Art Journalling

I had lots of fun creating this page - used loads of paint and got real messy !!! I started my page with a coat of gesso and then gradually added paints to colour it. I added some cuttings with Mod Podge and then more paint - I painted through stencils and sequin waste - I outlined some of my ephemera with my journalling pen before adding my journalling - I love the textures on this page although I do think its a little dark in places
