My teabag art for today is a mixed media piece using acrylics on a gell press plate

My teabag art for today.  This was a used teabag unprimed.  The background was created using acrylics and my gel press plate with some stamping and then doodling with posca pens, permanent black ink pen and white gel pen.  Bird stamped on coordinating deli paper using Darkroom Door Garden Birds stammp set and glued over dyed cheese cloth with thick matte gel.  Youtube video available showing the process:  Process video watercolor effect with acrylic paints on a teabag

Love Art - double page Art Journal spread

Just finished this double page journal spread.  The background was just leftover sprays and inks that were on my stencils from previous pages and I sprayed the stencils with water to activate the ink and then layered them on these blank pages.

Art journal Page: "A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song" Maya Angelou

I started with the page on the left and then the page after I cut off just leaving about an inch sticking out from the center spine so that I could glue a tag to it.  

This page was primed with white gesso and texture paste was added to the page through a stencil (no name on stencil so not sure where it came from).  Once the testure paste was dry, I added ShinHan watercolor and sprayed it with water to get it to bleed and run into each other.  After the watercolor was dry, I fitted the stencil back over the texture paste design and added Faber Castell Glass Bead Glitter gel over some of the texture (I LOVE THIS STUFF!!)

I then had some shipping tags my husband brought home from work for me in various colors (this one was originally green)  I primed the tag with one coat of white gesso and then I slapped on some lime and navy acrylic paint and blended them with a dry brush with white gesso on it.  I stamped the 2 circles with stitching with a stamp set from Carabelle Studio #SA6018R in Colorbox white pigment ink.  I then stamped some screen texture with some No name stamps I have in Momento nautical blue ink.  I added some Faber Castell Glass Bead Glitter gel through DecoArt stencil 201705.  

I stamped the bird (Dark Room Door "Garden Birds" stamp set) on watercolor paper using Ranger Jet Black archival ink - then colored it with ShinHan watercolors.  I added drywall tape and cheesecloth and Martha Stewart punch of leaf clusters behind the bird and glued it down.  I then die cut the birds on a wire which was a die I got from the Craft Queen stall at the Brisbane Scrapbooking and Papercraft Expo.  I glued the tag to the little one in piece of the adjoining page and then trimmed the piece down to the shape of the tag.

The Flower Girl

Hi Everyone,
I have finished another scrapbook page and wanted to share it.  I used a piece of white cardstock, stamped on the background with versamark ink and embossed with a' la mode white embossing powder using Darkroom Door stamp "Prague, Vol 2; Mickey Choo Botanical set; Stampers Anonymous "Curiosities"; Heartfelt Creations background stamp "Vintage Word".  Then the background was sprayed with Heidi Swapp Black Velvet and Primrose Color Shine. The frame is from Scrapmatts and I painted it white, then brushed it with versamark ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder.  The birds are also from Scrapmatts and they were painted white, then after they were dry I painted on some white glue and sprinkled them with Martha Stewart Fine white glitter.  The wedding dress is a Jolee embellishment.  All of the flowers are handmade.  The lillies were made from Susan's Garden Lily die, I crocheted the pink flower and added a pearl flower center.  I added pieces of lace, white feathers and string pearl trim behind the flower.  The label was made with Spellbinders Elegant ovals and the text was printed on white cardstock using my computer.  Thank you for Looking!
