One Bad Ass Art Journal 2017 week 7

Hello and happy hump day peeps!

Today I'm sharing another page (or in this case, pages), completed for

my Bad Ass Art Journal class.

I completed week 7! Woo Hoo!

This week's instructor is none other than

Tracy Weinzapfel of Tracy Weinzapfel Studios blog!

Here are the pages I created following her tutorial:

I didn't have the weathered wood medium, but I do have crackle paste, and that's what

I used for this project. I layed it on thick in some areas, and thinner in others to 

achieve different sized crackle. I just used a paint brush to apply it, and I love the

added texture that left on my pages!

I also happen to own this awesome stamp set by Tracy called Wine Time,

so of course I needed to use it. I masked the grape bunch to make it look

like they were hanging off the edge of the page. Using DecoArt Americana and Media Fluid

acrylic paints, I painted the images. Once dry, I went over the outlines using

both a small and bold F-C Artist PITT pens.

My sentiment was not my first choice. I had printed and cut out the quote,

"Wine is bottled poetry" by Robert Louis Stevenson. But when I adhered it

with matte medium, it smeared so bad! Lucky for me, I happen to

have accrued almost a dozen various stamp sets all to do with

drinking alcohol of some type, and found one large enough to cover

my oops. Crisis averted.

Here are some close ups:

So that's it for now. Thanks for visiting, and thanks to Tracy Weinzapfel

again for such a fun tutorial!

Have a great day!

STAMPlorations Theme & Sketch Challenge #39 mid-month reminder

Hello and good morning crafty peeps!

I'm popping in today with my reminder post for the

STAMPlorations January Theme & Sketch Challenge!

 (Our definition of Mixed Media: using stamps and ink + at least two other elements

(techniques and/or products))

You can choose the theme, or the sketch, or both!

I went with both again:

 Here's the inside:

I started by die cutting the CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting die from water color paper. I painted yellow acrylic paint on it. While that was drying, I stamped, colored and fussy cut the Tropical Drink. When the panel was dry, I used the ARTplorations Gridlocked stencil and sponged orange and red inks over it. I spritzed some black ink onto the panel and once that dried, I stamped the sentiment from Fond Expressions 2. On the inside of my card, I cut another panel and stamped Happy Birthday from the Balloons and Banners stamp set.

I hope that you get to play along this month at the STAMPlorations January Theme & Sketch Challenge! You have until January 31st to link up. I hope to see your project in the gallery!
