I was inspired to start an art journal over my summer vacation and I find it so relaxing and completely different from my card making style. I am exploring different mediums and designs, which I am enjoying immensely. I started by using my Dylusions spray on the background once dried I ink blended some Speckled Egg Oxide Ink. I then stamped my text in the top right and bottom left corners. I used my stencil and added Texture Paste and let that dry.

I put my ephemera together and glued the top parts together and glued it as one piece using foam tape to the page. To finish off, some black splatters!

Fall is my favourite season! Added bonus, halloween themed products! I started by colouring my image using my COPIC markers and fussy cutting the image.

I embossed my panel and added some Aged Mahogany Ink to the surround. I then passed over the top with gold ink to bring attention to the trees.

I added my frame and stamped and cut my sentiment. I added my elements to the panel and added some white gel pen detail to the image, to finish off some Champagne Clear Drops.

Simon Says Stamp STAMPTEMBER Blog Party!

It's time for STAMPtember! Best crafty month of the year! Super happy to be participating in the Blog Party celebrating the new release and the month-long festivities!

I used the super fun new Haunted Pumpkin Wafer dies for my card today!

I started by taking a piece of Tim Holtz Watercolour paper and using my Dylusions Sprays in Laidback Lilac and Crushed grape and some Her Arts Gold Spray. Let my panel dry while I die cut my elements from the die set.

I put my ghosts together with the accessories and placed them aside to finish my panel.  I added some Black Soot Distress Ink to the outer edges of my panel for depth.

I glued my ghosts to the panel using foam tape, and stamped and embossed my sentiment from the Halloween Treats set released last year. to finish off, some purple clear drops and some wash tape to the sides.

Enjoy the Blog Party!
