Sea Creatures Page by Angie Coomber

Hello! Angie here with a loose art journal page for you.


As I often do, I began by randomly adhering torn up bits of ephemera and washi tape to my page.


Next I sketched out a rough circle and then painted around it, using 3 shades of blue/green.
I didn't gesso the page as I usually include some white with my colours, which helps to blend them and also gives extra opacity in areas where it is needed. For this page I used Paper Artsy paints.


I added some white stenciling, black background stamping with stamps from the Textured Sea Creatures set and went over the circle outline with Distress Crayons. I also filled the circle in with white paint. Next I added some gold splatter & some Quinacridone Gold marks.


I am quite a “lazy” stamper, so I tend to paint a master board and then fill it up with stamped images, so I always have spare images if I need them. I used stamps from Textured Sea Creatures and Loose Florals #2.  As you can see here I have quite a few spares left to play with in the future!


I chose the images I wanted for my page and glued them on, then added some white doodling, Stickles, words from Mix A Sentiment #2, and finally sewed around the page.


I really hope you like it.


Hugs from Angie

Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

Image
Klikk her for info på norsk (info in Norwegian) Hello, gorgeous! Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are! Our colour scheme and theme this month might not come as a big surprise. After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities. City dwellers began to use the phrase 'fall of the leaf'' and, over time, the phrase was shortened to fall. Surprisingly, etymologists don’t know where the word "autumn" comes from. It was used as far back at the 1300s (by Chaucer), and Shakespeare often used the word, too. As English spread to the New World, the common season names split as well and today, American English uses the word fall while British English
