Art is the voice of a heart art page with Magenta

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Today  I am going to share my new art journal double spread made over the single A4 Mixed Media cardstock using Magenta stencils and stamps.

This page is all about  your own understanding of art. As Art is the voice of your heart, there is no rules or right and wrong in doing your own art.

So even if it looks a bit weird it's still your own interpretation of your heart in colors, designs and general concept .

I made the background with acrylic paints and then added a few black cardstock pieces in a totally random way.

Two Magenta stencils were used to add the contrast (numbers in black) and texture (stars in blue) and two Magenta stamps were used to add some stamping on the background.

The metal piece was stamped over metal sheet and then colored with a  mix of alcohol inks. Then it was die cuts and glued on the right side of the double page spread.The stamping was made with black pigmented ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

The sentiment was stamped over the page with permanent black ink.

The main image on the left side was stamped in the same heat embossed way and then colored with distress markers and covered with gel medium.

Some black pen doodling was added around the page for more " hand made" interest.

Life is beautiful art page with Magenta

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Magenta post.
Irit is here and this is my time for some artistic inspiration, aka art journal page made with three Magenta stencils and three large Magenta stamps.

The whole page was made over a A4 sized white thick cardstock that was covered with white gesso.
Then the background was made with three Magenta stencils and white texture paste.
The colors were added one by one as I used mists to make the background of this page.
Then the abstract Magenta stamps were stamped with archival black ink and the small black net was made with a piece of old household net as a  kind of a stamp. 

The central part was made as a cluster of chipboards, die cuts and more chipboards, mostly from BoBunny and some from other companies.
The central stamped image was stamped with black pigmented ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder and then cut to fit the blue chipboard frame. The same mists that were used to cover the page were added to make the scene colors, but as this time the cardstock was bare without gesso the colors are more intense and seen.

The whole page looks like a kind of a scrapbooking layout with stamped piece instead of usual photos and it's not a real art journal page as it's not in journal book and not so flat. 
Anyway, this was a fine example of artistic use of Magenta products to make an artistic page/layout or any other Mixed Media project.

Believe in yourself art page

Hello my dear crafty friends!

 This is designers free style week and Steampunk/grunge is my most favorite style lately.

Add the fantastic Carabelle Studio stamps that you can buy in the shop to my Steampunk mood and you get this Believe in yourself page.

The page is made over a thick A4 size white cardstock.
First I added a few stencils with texture paste and then misted and painted them with a mix of Distress inks and different mists to get this vintage background. A few Carabelle Studio stamps  were stamped with permanent black ink to add some interest to the background.
Then I added a cluster made of thin chipboards and stamped the Carabelle Steampunk heart to be hand cut, misted and added over the cluster.
The red paint drop were added to imitate the blood drops of the heart.

The sentiment was made with a few Rubber Dance stamps that were stamped over black cardstock using clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The sentiment was actually made as a collage of four different stamps. This sentiment stamps set is just the blessing for any art journal artist as you can make dozens of different inspirational sentiments just with  one stamp set and each and every sentiment is totally unique.

 Here is some close- up to the main stamped image.

Thanks for being here with me today and see you next weeks with a totally different project.
And if you want to see more of my work you are kindly invited to my own blog.

Art Anthology Life in color art page

 This is a new art page I made with my new (lost and found on the way) Art Anthology art supplies.
I use three new stencils, tons of new Velvet paints, a few new Colorations sprays and some  pretty old chipboards to make this rainbow colored art page.
Life should be full of colors!
And you just need to arrange those colors to make your own rainbow, as I did here!

And as always- here is the full Snapguide tutorial for you to see and to use HERE:

Urban Queen art page with Tando and Stampendous

 Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my last January Tando inspiration.
This week we are sharing projects made with Stampendous products together with Tando products and my share is this pretty large art page.
I need to say that I am a totally urban  girl. I never liked the country side or too much green around and I adore the city skylines and  all those millions of people around.
So this page was made as my tribute to this urban Love and I made the title sayings: I am an Urban Queen" and added some sticker saying to say more, like " this is my lifetime adventure" and " timeless everyday inspiration".
The art journal page was made over thick white cardstock, covered with gesso.
Then I used Stampendous Urban Cling stamp set stamp set and first the stencil that is in this set.
I added random spots with this stencil and Crackle paste over the page.
The city skyline was stamped over the page with white DecoArt acrylic and as usual, white on white is not much seen.
The green  houses that are seen were stamped with the background of  the foam stamp and the cling stamp and then heat embossed with clear powder and hand cut to be added to the page.
The  walls were cut from Tando Grid Rectangle chipboard and painted with white acrylic paint.
The title was made with Tando Alphas letters over Tando Speach Bubbles pieces and  the whole page, titles included was misted with a mix of several mists.
The last Tando piece  added is this key piece and it means that this Queen got the city key for her own use.

I really hope that you like my Urban inspiration and see you again in a couple of weeks.

Paint your own rainbow art page

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my second  September post made for Susan K. Weckesser blog.

This time it's an art page made with lovely Susan's products and some recycling too.

So here is my small step by step tutorial:

1. Use texture paste  with stencil to make the bricks over the thick cardstock page that was covered with gesso.

Then I added some texture circles made over punched cardstock with the same texture paste  (not shown as a separate photo). Let all paste dry!

2. Use Susan's Clearsnap Color Pop mini inks to make the rainbow over the page. I also added Clearsnap yellow and purple inks to make the full range of rainbow colors over the page. The colors used here are Kiss, Sky, Fresh and Ice.

 Add a line of each ink over the the top side of the page and mist with water over it.

3. From this step over I didn't take the step by step photos and there is only written steps for the rest of this page.
First I added all flowers from Israeli post stamps booklet. I love recycling and those rainbow colors from the booklets are so lovely!
Now  stamp the Unicorn image with Susan's Unity co-branded stamp (Unicorns and Rainbows set) and color it with Zig Real Brush watercolors. Hand cut the unicorn image and glue it over the page with Gel Medium.
Stamp the " paint your own rainbows" saying using the same stamp set all over the page using Susan's  mini ink in Mystery color. Add a stamped rainbow image over the page and leave it in a very light colors; this is just a small rainbow we are looking for after the rain.

Welcome to our house of horror

This art page was made  long time ago for a print submission.

It didn't make the print magazine and right now, just before the Halloween , it's a perfect time to share it with the readers of my blog.

So as you can see- a lot of stamping with heat embossing, paints and mists, and a huge title made from chipboard letters.

WELCOME TO MY HOME OF DEATH AND MAGIC!

Imagine and Explore you inner Stemapunk art page

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Steampunk page post.

So here is the page made over A4 thick cardstock covered with gesso and then painted, stamped, stencilled and embellished with Scrapmatts chipboards and some  hand made embellishments I made with Makin's Clay, molds and Makin's ClayExtruder.

As you can see I used Scrapmatts Retro Squares stencil with texture paste over the page and then misted it with a mix of Tattered Angels mists.

Stamps used are from Andy Skinner's line of Steampunk stamps and mostly stamped directly over the page (some were stamped over tissue and glued then with Gel Medium).

I also used the second Scrapmatts String Beads  stencil here and you can see the lines in the middle of the page.The chipboard Steampunk frame was added to frame the  funky doll. The head , the hair embellishment and the hair are made with Makin's Clay. I made it with white Makin's Clay and painted with DecoArt paints and pigments.

For the final touch I added a layer of Crackle glaze  and some Scrapmatts  chipboard words.

Rebecca Baer Tutorial for September

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my September tutorial made for Rebecca Baer blog.
This time I made the Fall art page as Fall is really around.
So here is my step by step easy tutorial for you.

1. Cover the Kraft thick cardstock A4 sheet with a layer of white gesso and let it dry.

2. Use Rebecca Baers medium size Dragonfly Fantasy stencil with  a thin layer of light texture paste.

I used DecoArt paste, but any craft store one works the same way.

Again' let it dry.

3. Add a mixture of Tattered Angels mists (as shown) over the dry texture paste and try to dry between each color. 

4. Stamp and hand cut a couple of  leaves using Susan K. Weckesser (Unity co- branded) Autumn Grunge  stamps using Susan's ColorBox Color Pop mini inks in Fresh and Cocoa color together and add them over the page. Do not try to pick the right green ink as we are going to add paints and the color will be totally different.

4. Add copper Tattered Angels  mist over the leaves and the whole page.

5. Make a few acorns using Makin's Clay air dry polymer clay (brown) and Makin's Clay push molds and adhere them on the corner as shown.

Stamp more ferns using Susan's In my Garden stamp set and black Mystery ColorBox Color Pop ink.

Use Tim Holtz stickers to make the sentiment saying on the right page corner.
