ADD A QUOTE

I created an Art Journal page in my Dylusions Small Creative Journal and I can't believe I'm working on the last page in this journal which contains so many memories of past projects using stamps, stencils and die-cuts with so many different techniques. 

I used Distress Paints with Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Crate and Mosaic Layering Stencils, Grunged stamp set, Idea-ology Clipping Stickers and Distress Crackle Texture Paste to create the background. I added an Idea-ology Groups Paper Doll, Theories Quote Chip, trimmed into sections and decorated with Sizzix Funky Cactus Thinlits.

I began by applying a light patchy coat of Scattered Straw Distress Paint using a Distress Collage Brush

I applied Scattered Straw Distress Paint through the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Crate Layering Stencil using a mini round blending tool and domed foam to create a tone-on-tone effect.

I applied Rusty Hinge Distress Paint through Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mosaic Layering Stencil to kick things up a notch in the colour department.

I trimmed a sheet of Tim Holtz Idea-ology Clipping Stickers to create a border, removed the backing sheet, pressed on to thin copy paper, trimmed along the edge and fixed to the pages using Distress Collage Medium. I applied Distress Collage Medium over the top of the stickers, coloured with a Rusty Hinge Distress Crayon, smudged with my finger and wiped back slightly using a slightly damp sheet of kitchen towel.

I added individual Idea-ology Clippings Stickers on the page to create word panels, inked the stamps from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Grunged with Ground Espresso and Spiced Marmalade and stamped randomly on the pages. To add more interest, I added Distress Crackle Texture Paste applied thinly with a palette knife.

To finish off the background, I inked the splatter stamp from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Grunged with Peeled Paint Distress Oxide ink, sprinkled with Peeled Paint Embossing Glaze and heated until melted.

I added an Idea-ology Groups Paper Doll

Theories Quote Chip

and Tim Holtz/Sizzix Funky Cactus Thinlits die-cut from Idea-ology Classic KraftStock
