Art Journal Page – Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often

Hi Stamping Friends,
It’s time to play along with Happy Little Stampers (HLS) Mixed Media Challenge again. The January Challenge Theme is LAYERS which I think most Mixed Media players are familiar with.

For more details and other DTs’ inspirations, please check out the Challenge Blog. Anything mixed media could be linked up to our challenge as long as it follows our theme.

Starting from 2019, I decided to challenge myself to create art journal pages as my DT artwork for HLS MM Challenge. This is my very first art journal page. Yay, I made it and I like it. I hope I and all my stamping friends will live well, love often and laugh much in 2019.

Hope this art journal page is eye-pleasing and inspirational to you. Please drop me a note if you like it. Thanks for stopping by and wish you a great day.

Art Journal Details
1. Apply a thin layer of white gesso to prime the art journal page. After dry, apply various acrylic paints (by Dina Wakley) randomly on page.

2. Adhere some Tim Holtz Idea-ology Tissue Wrap by Gel Medium on page.

3. Stamp Lonely Girl (Dina Wakley) on white tissue paper, tear it and glue to the page with Gel Medium.

4. Tape various washi tapes on four sides of the page.

5. Stamp texts (Simon Says Stamp) with Archival Ink directly on page.

6. Apply white embossing paste over stencils randomly on page to create extra texture. Voila!

Happy Halloween

Hello Artsy Friends,

I’m super excited and honored to be the Featured Guest Designer for Stamps and Stencils’ October Challenge - Spooky Fun with an Autumnal twist. I'd like to thank Stamps and Stencils DTs for choosing my tag as the Winner and inviting me as Guest Designer.

I must confess that I’m not really into the spooky things, especially that I don’t have little children around me for some years. Yet I’ve decided to challenge myself to create an Autumnal tag with some spooky elements. It’s fun to explore something out of my comfort zone.

For details of how I made my tag, please check out my Guest Designer Post.

Hope my non-traditional Halloween tag is eye-pleasing and inspirational to you. Please do check out the Challenge Blog for more inspirations from the talents DTs and join us for the fun.

If you like my tag, please do let me know. Thanks for stopping by and wish you a great day.
