Bit late but here is my May journal page.

I've used Dylusions spray inks and randomly painted over some acrylic paints. Along the bottom of the page I've stamped a Michael Powell stamp. Lots of stamping ,doodling , rub oning inking etc later it's finnished. Oh and also added the collage girl and saying.

Simon says stamp and show a ......Tag!

My first is "The other girls"

My second tag is called "For god's sake"



And finally my third tag is "Find the beauty"



All the tags have been inked with my new Dylusions ink sprays, really vibrant colours. I've used a variety of stamps and collage pictures and of course my fav texture gesso.

I'd like to enter these tags into the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge as the challenge is A Tag!

4 Fab Kids

I bought a great book from Paperchase which I thought would make a good journal. I was right!! It has a kraft front cover and is square. The pages are a good quality and held all my paints, inks etc really well and it only cost me (or should I say hubby! £8.

Here's my first page of my new journal.



I got the idea after finding the art journal threads over on the UKScrappers site and the prompt for this week was numbers. Hence the 4 fab kids title.

I firstly used gel medium all over the page and stuck fragments from an old book over the page. I then put another layer of the gel medium over that. The colours are from some acrylic paints that I picked up at the works. A little tub of about 10 paints for £4, another bargain. Next was gesso through a flower stencil and coloured with inks. Then it was the turn of lots of stamps which I then highlighted with a white pen.
The image is from a collage sheet by Lisa's Altered Art on esty. I did the same thing using the gel medium. I again used the white pen to highlight and then I went around the image with a black pen and smudged it to create a shadow.
The letters and number are chipboard. I distressed stained them and added some of the book fragments.
Finally I inked around the edges.
