Blog Hop With Viva Las Vegas Stamps!

Ok, I have to tell you all, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mary Vogel's designs.
They are cute, whimsical, and, yes, quirky. 
They end themselves to art journal pages quite well.
Here's one I did using some of Mary's super awesome stamps!

Here's what you're gonna need:
Stamps (Plate # 1401)
Pan Pastels & sponge
Gesso
Paint brush
Crafter's Workshop Template
Black Sharpie or paint pen
Itty bitty circle punch
1" circle punch
Scraps of BoBunny paper
Black ink pad (I used Archival)
Colored pencils
Krylon fixative
Letter stickers- Basic Grey & Thickers

Stickles (cause I have to Stickle everything)
Journal (mine is a moleskin watercolor journal)
Ranger Adirondack ink pad (I used Red Pepper)

 Coat page with two colors of pastel, using the sponge.
When you like it, spray with fixative.

Place the stencil on the page, and paint inside the shapes with gesso. 
Dry.
 Gently rub ink pad over  page. Dry.
 Punch circles from BoBunny paper. 
Punch small circles from paper scraps.
Place the circles on the page.
Use paint pen/Sharpie to draw border around page, and swirls on large circles.
 Stamp images on page and scrap paper.
Color with colored pencils.



 Cut out just the main part of each image. 
Adhere over image stamped on page.
 Add letter stickers.



Here's your wiener!

    Love your journal page, Aimee. (The wiener dog's cute, too.) The pan pastels really make a colorful background to show off the stamped images. Great ideas.

Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Design Team at Altered Pages  has been working with PINK! I LOVE pink, and I love Halloween,  so I thought to myself, "self, how can we use pink with Halloween?" Well, I came up with an answer, and I hope you like it. I used collage sheet  "Screaming Skulls" for this tag, and use two image transfer techniques. Here's a quick tutorial: Ink tag with Distress Inks- Victorian Velvet, Spun Sugar, and Worn Lipstick. Stamp back ground stamp with Worn Lipstick, and again (offset) with Vintage Photo. Flick some water onto the tag. Dry with heat gun, then ink the edges of the tag with a  little Vintage Photo. Print the Screaming Skulls collage sheet twice. Cut out the anatomy skulls. Paint the image with some matte medium, mod podge, or cheap Elmer's white glue, and slap it face down onto the tag. Let dry. Once dry, wet the back of the image,...
