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.

Another Art journal page completed in my Dina Wakley journal on the Kraft page.

An art journal page completed "Be true to you" in my Dina Wakley Journal on one of the Kraft pages.  The figure was scribbled with an elegant writer and a regular ball point pen in black.  I used Dina Wakley Acrylic paints in Lime, turquoise and white and various other acrylic paints.  I used the word stamp out of Dina's Scribbly figures set for the title and stamped it on tissue paper and applied it with Matte medium.

This art journal page is my entry into the Dina Wakley Facebook challenge for the month of April

This is my entry for the April Challenge on the Dina Wakley Facebook page - lots of layers.  This is in my Dina journal on the muslin page.  I used Scribble sticks and stencils, torn used babywipes, muslin that I added watered down scribble sticks to, torn canvas, and a burlap piece, sewing machine, die cut arrows and the airplane was a stamp and die from Kaisercraft.

Journal page with acrylic paints, scribble sticks, Dina Wakley Scribbly insects stamp set and dies

This is another art journal page I completed in my Dina Wakley journal - the background was just leftover acrylic paint from the previous page that I scraped onto this page.  I used Dina Wakley Scribbly insects stamp set, two dies - one a flower spray and one a netting die and Verses "Along the way" stamp set, tissue paper and matte medium.  I have a process video on my youtube channel for completing this page

To reach new heights... Art journal page

To reach new heights... art journal page done in my dina Wakley Journal on a Kraft page - I love how the colors pop on the Kraft paper.  Products used:  

DW Journal

DW night and lime green acrylics

White gesso

Spice Marmalade oxide inks

Stencils

DW scribble sticks in Cheddar, night and lime as watercolor

Bird die cuts from my Silhouette Cameo

twine died with cheddar scribble stick

Foam tape

I used die cut birds as masks and applied the night paint over them so that when I glued down my birds with foam tape they would have a shadow around them.

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.

Art journal page "Believing the impossible is possible" in Dina Wakley Journal

Art journal page just completed in my Dina Wakley journal.  The background was paint that had seeped through from the journal page on the front.  I cut out a banner from Kraft paper using Sizzix Framelits Banner 3 die.  The background pieces on the banner were bits of prints from my gelli plate.  The Fairy stamp was from Pasttime Crafts and was stamped with Black archival ink.  The banner top left corner was stamped with Recollections banner stamp set and attached to a piece of burlap that I pulled from the edge.  I also used We R memory keepers tab punch, Spellbinders scallp circle die, lime twine, black thread, button, lace and loose burlap threads and twine.

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".
