Just Playing with Texture

Hello all and welcome to the blog today. We are getting a snow storm so I have a few days to sit in my craft room and just play. Loving the time I have.

I wanted to work on a journal page that was just sitting around my craft area for awhile. I had used it as a wipe off page for stencils and texture paste awhile back

The page was entirely white when I began 

I added some shades of blue paint first

Once the paint is applied you can see all the texture created from the paste that was already there

I used Dina Wakely paint by simply adding a tad to my craft sheet and using my finger to apply it to my background

Next I added some brown paper that I roughed up the edges and glue that down

I added another stencil and used two shades of DecoArt paint to create the doily 

I also added more texture on top of my brown paper with more stencils and texture paste

I then did some stamping here and there with a Stampotique Stamp by France Papillon

You can see in this close up photo all that texture

I glued a piece of burlap onto my background and 

lastly I added black texture paste through a few stencils to create my main images

I used a Tim Holtz stamp for my quote

Thanks for coming by the blog today, hopefully you have some time to create 

Texture and More Texture

Happy Wednesday everyone, thank you so much for stopping by. I appreciate your support of my work and my blog.

Today is my turn to show a project on Stampotique's Designer Blog

This week the Fabulous and wonderful Kay Wallace has challenged us to use some Texture in our backgrounds.

Be sure to stop by the Designer's Challenge blog to check out the wonderful creations by the design team.

For my project I did an art journal page. Texture is one thing that I love, love, love... so this challenge was right up my alley.

I have used the following Stampotique stamps on this page:

Prom Queen - By Jill Penney and Daniel Torrent

Mela - By Daniel Torrent

Topknot - Daniel Torrent

Blocks - Maryse Carrier

I started with an art journal page that was sort of a wipe off page. I brushed some paint onto this page awhile back and just left it.

I love the two colors of blue here and wanted to add upon those.

I got this wonderful Stencil from Jessica Sporn and was itching to use it.

I applied gesso over it to add a little texture to my page, I then set aside to dry

I then added some more color to the page with Dyan Reaveley's Dylusions Sprays

I added some stenciling with black Archival ink

To add more texture I applied Liquitex modeling paste over a brick wall stencil

I also added some stamping around the edges with the Block stamp

I stamped my girls onto a separate piece of paper and colored them, cut them out and glued them onto my page

I then added some white gel pen to some of the blocks around the edges

Lastely I added my sentiment onto a separate sheet of paper that I sprayed with Dylusions sprays as well

Notice how the texture paste takes on some of the color underneath. I love that effect...

Thanks for stopping by once again, have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

Cheers!!
