Home is Best

Hi there,

it's Stencil Sunday over at the STAMPlorations Blog and today, I would like to show you the second page of my Mixed Media Art Journal:

• stamp the houses from STAMPlorations Houses with Memento (Tuxedo Black) and color the images with Delta Markers
• add highlights with a white gel pen
• cut out a compass from watercolor paper and color it with Distress Stains (Black Soot, Tarnished Brass)
• cut a panel from very sturdy watercolor paper (425 g/qm), cover it with gesso and punch two holes at the left side
• color the background with Gelatos (Butter Cream, Butterscotch, Chocolate) and add water droplets to remove some of the color in order to create texture 
• stamp elements from the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Grunge set with Memento Luxe (Wedding Dress, Rich Cocoa) and VersaMagic (Niagara Mist)
• apply Distress Ink (Wild Honey) throught the ARTplorations Just Squares stencil
• adhere the houses, the compass and the printed sentiment with Soft Matte Gel
• ink up the edges with Distress Ink (Ground Espresso)

Here is a close-up of the houses:

I would like to share my project at the following challenges:

Little Red Wagon Challenge #312 - Home is where the Heart is!

Crafty Creations Challenge #300 - Don't be blue

Altered Eclectics October Challenge
 

Please, join our Mixed Media Challenge over at the STAMPlorations Blog. The theme is always anything mixed media except a card. You must use at least one stencil (any brand) in your project. The Linky closes at the end of the month.

Thanks for stopping by.

Yours,
