"Outsider" with ArtStacks.

Hello! I'm sharing my latest creations using the new ArtStacks  new 'Wings & Things' and 'All Dressed Up' packs. These packs are perfect for combining, as I have done here...



 
I did a bit of a water-wash in 'night' paint for my background and then scribbled and splattered ink around. I cut a circle from Deb Weiers Wonky Backgrounds. I added a circle around the word 'outstider' using some of the 'easy-tear paper' from Lisa Oxley's Bright & Bold pack. Also adding a strip of paper from the same pack of Lisa's. The leaf was cut from Lorraine Haight Moraine BackStack. With the final addition of the figure with wings from the two new packs. I love that I've been able to combine various packs together, even though each 'artist' is very different, they have blended well together.
Thanks for stopping by, it's much appreciated.

New post for ArtStacks!

Hello! I'm sharing another art journal page using the gorgeous designs from ArtStacks!

Again, I'm using my DWM 6x6 Kraft journal, it's such a fun and quick size to create in and I do love how the colours 'pop' on it! My background consists of various colours of paint (Dina Wakley) and stencils (TCW, Dylusions and Kinder Kreations). Also a little bit of stamping (Natalie May Scrapbooking)

I've used a mix of ArtStacks packs for this page. Firstly, I layered the leaves from the 'Trees and Leaves #1' pack, then added the figures from the 'Lorraine Haight Moraine Altered Ancestors' pack. Finally adding a title of 'word matter' from the 'Deb Weiers Wonky Faces' pack. The final touch is a few splatters with gloss spray in white.



Pop over to the ArtStacks blog to see all the fabulous creations from the rest of the DT, you can find that HERE.

Thanks for stopping by, it's much appreciated.

Happy crafting!

Kraft+ September Challenge

 Hello all, can you believe it's September! I always love September as it's the beginning of Spring, which I admit is my favourite season...& it's not just because it's my birthday month. I love the warmer days...boy do we need them, I love the fragrance of all the Spring flowers, the ability to throw open the windows and let some fresh air in. Anyway, you are not here for my ramblings...

This months challenge over at Kraft+ is a colour challenge...red, orange, yellow and blue!


Aren't they beautiful together ;)

Excuse my wonky photograph...it's not always easy in the art journals...I probably should have chopped off the bottom of my page. Hehe that's the Virgo in me coming out ;) 

I'm loving the Dina Wakley Kraft journal, the paper is brilliant to work on, lovely firm and smooth. I spead yellow and orange paint with a credit card on my background. Adding red through a stencil. I stamped out my Dina Wakley heads, adding a body and big hair, to add in my blue. Journaling along the lines of the hair.
