Another Art Journal page completed. "Love Note"

I just finished this art Journal page titled "Love Note".  This is another entry for the Dina Monthly Facebook challenge (to do something with a watercolor look) in my large Dina Wakley journal on one of the cotton rag pages.  I primed it with white gesso.  I then watered down some Dina Wakley paints (Lemon, Lime, Eggplant) and added them to the page.  Then I added some stenciling with various stencils using the same paints but not watered down.  I did a bit of random stamping in black archival ink.  The word love is from a die set from Elizabeth craft designs "Sentiments 2 Just Because" and the word love was stamped on white cardstock and fussy cut out (not sure where these stamps are from)  The tag was a clothing tag that I did the same crylic paint process to and then stamped one of the faces from the Dina Wakley "Words in Faces" stamp set with black acrylic paint.  Last I added some gold leaf hearts one to the tag and one to the background.

My entry for the May 2019 Dina Wakley Facebook group challenge

This is my entry for the Dina Wakley Facebook group May 2019 challenge:  "Happiness is not a station you arrive at but a manner of traveling".  The challenge was to do something in watercolor.  This was a cotton rag page in my Dina journal and I used eggplant, Lime, Olive and black scribble sticks watered down as my watercolor background - did some stamping with my black scribble stick.  I used dina's stamp set "Text and scribbles" and my sewing machine on some strips and circles cut from leftover gell plate prints.  The title is from Verses rubber stamp company "Along the way".  the circle and stitches stamped on the background is a stamp set from Carabelle Studios SA60184.  The butterfly is from a Roben Marie Smith downloadable.

My teabag art for today is a mixed media piece.

My teabag art for today.  This is a used teabag primed with white gesso.  I made the background and the girl with acrylic paints and posca pens.  The bird is from one of my Dina Wakley flying bird mask sets and it was painted with watercolor and glued on.

My teabag art for today is another mixed media piece.

My teabag art for today is another mixed media piece.  This was a used teabag primed with clear gesso.  Background was created with watercolor.  Fish and title were stamps from a Dina Wakley set called scribbly fishies which were stamped on watercolor paper and colored with watercolor.  I sewed them on with my sewing machine with black thread.  I added crochet cotton twine, netting from a bag that came off of oranges.

My teabag art for today. I did this one as if it were on a journal page.

"View the world from two Standpoints".  This was a used teabag primed with clear gesso.  The background was created with watercolor and then was stamped with a text stamp.  I then used the Dina Wakley mask Funky slhouettes to create the outline for the figure and applied acrylic paints through the mask.  I also used various stencils and stamps.  I die cut some circles and arrows out of gelli prints.  I used Posca pens, liquid black ink, and the title was torn out of a piece of tissue paper and applied with matte medium.

Another art journal page completed today

Art journal page completed today.  "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a present."  This was an art journal page primed with clear gesso and various stencils were used with acrylic paint for the background although not much of them are visible any longer.  The faces were done with a Dina Wakley stencil "Scribbled Faces" and then painted with acrylic paints.  The title was stamped onto tissue paper and applied to the surface with matte medium.  I also used posca pens.

My teabag art for today was inspired by the song by Guy Sebastian "Get Along"

My teabag art for today was inspired by the Guy Sebastian song "Get Along" and just needed to be on an art journal page.  This was a used teabag primed with clear gesso.  Added pieces of book text and gelli print paper to the background with matte medium.  The background faces were stamped on tissue paper with Dina Wakley Funky Faces stamp set, painted with acrylic paints and added with matte medium.  I added some burlap, pink cotton crochet yarn and then the figure from Dina Wakley stamp set Abstract figures was stamped on another gelli print and torn out.  Added that to the top and stitched the title on my sewing machine.  This was added to a journal page that had paint off of stencils from a previous journal page.  The netting and honeycomb diecuts were from Tim Holtz mixed media die sets.

My teabag art for today - mixed media bird on a used teabag

My teabag art for today.  This was a used teabag primed with clear gesso.  The background was created with Dina Wakley scribble sticks in browns and greens and cheddar.  When dry I lightly stamped text in the background with Tim Holtz archival ink.  I cut out the birds on branches on my silhouette cameo in brown cardstock and applied that.  Then I made a little grouping of a small envelope with tag and applied a hexagon, moss, raffia, branch, and bird.  The word was a clear sticker applied to white cardstock.

Another Completed Art Journal page: Fashions Fade, Style is Eternal

Another art journal page completed in my Dina Wakley Journal on the Burlap page.  I stitched the title with thin cotton yarn.  The background was done with scribble sticks.  

My paper doll was drawn by referencing Jane Davenport's Fabulous Figures Book.  I colored the paper doll by using the scribble sticks as watercolor.  The clothes were cut out of patterned paper and striped vellum.  I attached the purse with a bit of chain and 2 jump rings and her necklace are seed beads on thread.

The tag and arrows were created on my Ranger Gel press plate using acrylic paints and stencils.

You Are my Happiness Art journal page

I just finished an art journal page in my Dina Wakeley journal - this was done on one of the burlap pages.

I brushed the burlap with acrylic paint.  I also cut a hole in the bottom left of the burlap and glued my title to the back so that it would peak through the hole.  The paper, die cuts and stamp set were from CreativePl Set "Beach Dreams".
