Your Wings Are Ready

Today is my very first official post as a Viva Las Vegas Stamp Design Team Member.

I loved being a guest for them last year and really excited to be creating with them for the next 6 months! 

Now on to the fun parts right!!!

I had so much fun picking out stamps and your head just pops with so many ideas. The thing I love most about the stamps is that you can color them or leave them plain stamped images. I love doing that as it makes the stamps pop off the project.

So I decided to kick it off with an art journal creation.

First I had some Tim Holtz tissue wrap that I added to my pages with some mate gel medium. After that I gave the pages a white wash with gesso.  Then I added some Dina Wakely Acrylic paint in the color turquoise and magenta. Spraying each color with some water to create paint drips. 

Then I used the stamp Wildflower Silhouette - 19556 (Plate 1451) with a Distress Marker Crushed Olive and stamped it twice at the bottom of the page.

Then I stamped the sentiment Your Time As a Caterpillar -19585 (Plate 1452) using StazOn Ink Jet Black.

Then I thought the Girl with Wings - 19005 (Plate 893) would look perfect for this spread. So I stamped her with the StazOn Ink and fussy cut her out. Although I decided to go ahead and pop her wings up for dimension. 

Then I couldn't help but add some glass bead gel for a little more texture. 

Then I wanted to add some brown and went for my Twinkling H20's, using the colors Cedarwood and Autumn Butternut. 

I tried hard to stick to the January challenge them the mood board is just amazing but I love pink and had to splash some in there.
