Art Journal - Journey

Good day crafty friends! :)

Today i'm sharing with you another page of my art journal book and this time it's more of a boy-ish theme i guess as i used browns and teal colors and a bit of yellow ogre. My inspiration was the old cars, i have these stamps by Tim Holtz for quite sometime now and wasn't able to use them at all so i thought it's time to get them inked and play with them :) I just hoped the other car is facing the opposite side lol! but then it looked just fine just the way it is so it wasn't a trouble after all lol!

I hope you find this piece inspiring and hope to see you again on my next post! :)

Art Journal - Hope

Good day everyone! :)

Just an update on my art journal book, it's been a while since my last share so i thought i would do another page to fill up the rest of my journal pages and here it is...fun and colorful page! Gotta love playing with watercolors, they're so easy to work with and no matter how messy it looks like, it will always gives you a fun result! 

Tim Holts, Prima and Inkadinkado, and an ordinary date stamp were used here.

I used my Dymo Label Maker and alpha stamps for the words here, added some yarn for texture and stamp on the date which shows the day i exactly made this.

Here's a closer look on the layers i put together to add more dimension to the photo.

DIY Rubber Stamp

Hi there crafty friends! :)

Here's a quick post i cannot wait to share it with you! I made another DIY rubber stamp out of a large eraser. Yes it's an eraser lol! I got it from Daiso for little less than a dollar which is cheap (children's eraser type, size is 2 1/2"x 3 3/4). So for those who are in a budget or who doesn't have access to this kind of stamp (beehive/honey comb), all you have to do is grab your kiddos erasers and start carving shapes on it lol! Anyway, i hope you get to try making one too! :)

Here's the stamped image i did on a white piece of paper and since i used a distress ink, you can see parts of the image kinda faded which gives more of a texture look.

And here's a close up look on the honey comb shape of the stamp, as you can see it's not really perfect at all but it works great! I just used the octagon shape of my stencil to draw and just repeated the same shape to come up with this pattern.

It's easier to make a continuous stamp pattern when you cut the excess part of the eraser just like what i did on mine.

Name Plate Holder - IAR DT Proj.

Hey there crafters! :)

I'm sharing with you today my DT project for IAmRoses which is an altered acrylic name plate holder i made  for a sweet friend! I wanted it to be colorful and fun and so i played with the colors blue, pink, greens and a bit of yellow and i think it turned out just the way i like it, very springy! 

I outlined these chipboard alphas with a black pen to add definition to it.

I love how the flowers shines with glitters (crystal stickles by Rangers) 

I distressed the window pane with colorbox liquid chalk to give more dimension as it is flat. 

Here's a chipboard branch from Tim Holtz, primed with gesso then added glass beads for extra texture. I then run my copic marker (brown) on the edges of the branch.

List of IAmRoses products used on this project:

ST1 - Yellow, White Stamens

GS2 - Blue Curly Flower

D1-00 - Pink Daisy Flower

S10 - White Small Flower
