Art Journal Spread with a Hand Carved Stamp~

Hi guys!
I have another Art Journal page to share using one of
 my hand carved stamps.  I named it the Pinwheel.

I added the sample 4" X 4" sheet to the journal also. You will need to really look
 hard to see the Pinwheel Stamp used.  Sorry I got carried away
 with all things mixed media.  See what I mean~

I started with painting the pages (hit and miss) with acrylic paint.
I then used the Dictionary Page Stamp by Blue Knight Rubber 
Stamps as a background to start building layers.  
Collage papers were added as many more layers. Stencils, more stamps
(Darkroom Door) and dimensional adhesive (Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L).

The quote is by KatzelKraft.  I will link the products I used below.

Supplies used:
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps: Dictionary Page
Darkroom Door Stamps: Global Postmarks, Number Medley,
Sketched Numbers, Sketched Alphabet and the NEW sm. Sketched
Alphabet.
Darkroom Door Stencils: Tropical Leaves and Diamonds
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: 3D Foam Strips White, 3D Foam

Squares White Mix.
HomeHobby by 3L: Dual Tip Glue Pen
other: Sizzix/Eileen Hull/Snail Mail Die.
Tim Holtz/Paper Dolls, Posca Paint Markers, Paper Artsy: Acrylic Paint

God's Promise by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
I have such a sweet stamp to share with
you by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps called God's Promises.
I love the reflection of the rainbow in the water!

The top card is colored with colored pencils for the
rainbow and panpastels for the sky, trees and water.
I used the Birds 2 and the Silhouette Moose to
add to the scene.  The rainbow looks hard to color but
the colored pencils worked for me.
The bottom card is watered colored on heavy cardstock.
I liked how it came out but next time I will use
watercolor paper.  I used the Buck, Doe & Fawn
set to add to the scene.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

This really is a beautiful stamp with a beautiful message!

Library Books Set by Darkroom Door~

Hi guys!
I have  another NEW release stamp set by 
Darkroom Door. It is called Library Books and it  
is so cool!!! I love the library card image :):)

I created two projects using this set. 
card no.#1

This card is created using Distress Oxide inks and Distress
Archival inks.  It is very mixed media and has a distressed feel 
to it. I used several sets of stamps and just kept adding 
layers of color to achieve the "look".   Other sets used are:
Labels, Grunge Marks, the NEW Faded Circles, the
 NEW Sm. Sketched Alphabet and Sketched Numbers.

project no.#2

I created book mark tags from the library card stamp that is in 
the Library Books stamp set.  I used Distress Oxide ink and then
splattered with water to give the ink running look.  The Labels
set was also used. Easy and cute!!!
All adhesive used is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
 You can find the New release here.
For USA customers Topflight Stamps will have the stamps soon.

Coastal Pines by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing cards made using the Coastal Pines stamp
by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  It is an easy stamp set to work with 
and is universal for any occasion. 

The top card, the background is created using Alcohol inks
and then the image is stamped over it using Stazon ink/ Black. A
word sticker is added along with the bird from Birds 2 and you have a
quick and beautiful card.
The bottom card is stamped on white cardstock using a stamping
 platform (to make sure you get good coverage from the silhouette stamp).
A stencil is added over the card front. Color is added with the
 Day/Night panpastels.  The sentiment is stamped and added to the
card front.
