ART JOURNAL PAGES..

 Hello everyone,

Saturday late morning while typing this up and I'm waiting for paint and glue to dry so thought I would pop on here with my Art Journal pages I created with some of most favourite designers stuff..

Vicky Papaioannou  I have followed for years on you tube and just love her, now she does her own designs for Stamperia so had to play with her stuff..

Then there is Tim Holtz  I love lots of his stuff, can't afford it all but I love mostly his Flower and leaf dies from Sizzix,  so had to play with his stuff..

I also love Honey Bee Stamps  their dies for layering and the size of them is wonderful, didn't use any here but just wanted to mention..

So, here is my book, bulky now, not flat, 

so had to come up with a solution to make my life easier..

So, I put together 2 A4 size computer papers pages with collaged paper squares..

Which look Lavender but, they are not, they are blue green from Kaissercraft.

I have no idea why the picture changed colour,

 but these photos are more true to colour..

and I splattered them with blue paint or ink, one or the other, I forgot.

Had all my die cuts ready and started on my quotes, by using these very old alphabet chipboard stickers that I painted..

White..

Then water colored from the bottom up..

Until they looked like this..

Then inked up the edges for a bit of drama..

New die set from Tim Holtz, but they are fiddly and quite small, you get a lot, and not HARD to put together, but with my eye sight they were tricky..

Those splatter bits were the leftovers from that gorgeous flower die, big daisy type, which I've

used before and doing again shortly..

Balloon and book from Vicky's new release set..love.

Started gluing and using my clean acrylic blocks to hold it all down..

Pages still on my desk and not inside the book yet...

Leaves are Tim Holtz from the daisy set..love

And the lovely Balloon, I love hot air balloons.

And the coffee cups with steam sitting carefully on the letters..

So, pages glued in at last and I was so happy with my double spread journal book..

Thank you so much for stopping by, and have agreat weekend.

I'll see you Monday..

Luv CHRISSYxx
