TM Style Journal

I've finally finished the TM style journal that I started from scratch when I went to Chris's last year to have a play day.

Side two, which is finished now that I've added some words to the open spaces.

These are the pages I did yesterday, this set had only been painted up until then. I spent quite a lot of the day looking through magazines which Chris kindly brought for me when we met at the end of April.

More words added to the open spaces to finish these pages.

Added the white circles and letters to the left page and the words to the right, the middle page is my favourite of them all.

Journal Pages TM Style

A couple of weeks ago I cut out some magazine images and stuck them in my book. I used gelatos on this page with white pen.

I used zig pens for the background on this page.

I used zig pens and decoart translucent yellow iron oxide media on this page with black pen.

The yellow background is gelato and I used zig pens over the top.

I used sharpie pens on the background for this page.

And this one I just stuck the images down and left it, until today.

And this morning I added the background using a wash of cerulean blue premium decoart paint and then in a darker shade I used Kate Cranes hand carved stamp for the circles. Once dry I added some white paint dots. And after seeing it here, I think I am going to add the word, floating to the page.

Again, this was another page where I just stuck some images down and left it.

And I simply added a strip of red and blue gelato to finish it.

This is another page which needed finishing.

 A wash of primary magenta premium acrylics and some stamping with black stazon using Seths border stamps and some white dots with a pen.

Then this one I made this morning using an old credit card and decoart premium paints which I scraped on the page. I used bubble wrap with the pink and then white paint and pen tops for the circles. The pink and white lines were created using the edge of the credit card. The words were stamped in black stazon.

Finished Mini Journal from Kate Crane Workshop

I made my own version of a mini journal with the pages I created at Kates class on Friday at Art from the Heart. This is the front.

And this is the back.

And this is it when it's been opened.

This is a view from the top. It looks like a star book.

And these are the mini pages inside.

They are a mix of collage pages and T!m's paperdolls and we made loads of them!!

Art Journal Pages

I used my new 3" x 5" gelli plate and some stencils to create this page using DecoArt multi surface satin paints and the pink is the Dina Wakley one.

I stamped some Lynne Perrella images in black stazon and some random alphabet letters.

I stuck the A4 page to a piece of 9" x 12" card and coloured the edges with orange and green neon DecoArt Paint.

Then I took my white Posca pen and hi-lighted some of the letters.

Another page based on the James weekend. Lin very kindly lent me this stamp, I love him so had to do a full page of him before he went back. Image is stamped onto various backgrounds in various colours of stazon ink.

And another of the background techniques from the weekend. 3" squares cut from magazine pages, and then shapes punched out and randomly stuck on.

Instead of adding fibers I added netting from the tangerine bag we got today whilst shopping.

I'll be back with more pages as I'm making myself a book.
