Art Journal covers

Hi, I'm Vero (@ Vero.kt) and I welcome you to today's inspiration. How's everybody ? I've been playing with  Mixed media marks Grungy Stuff , Round in circles ,  Inky Friends and  Old book page to create the covers for my new Art Journal , that I hope you like.

I started by lining two cardboard lids of a cookie box in black card stock and the spine with a binding cloth.A few days before, prepare several backgrounds with the Gelli plate and acrylic paints

Cut to the size of the covers, and I started stamping different stamps with Oxide inks in shades similar to acrylics.

I choose one of the stamps from the  set, Inky Friends stamp, color it with watercolor pencils, then cut.One of the parts that I enjoy the most is the composition, I have to admit that it is usually the part that takes me the most.

Now I leave you some photos with details of the project.I hope you like it as much as I do when making them.

Here are the Rubber Dande Stamps I used:

Textured Mushrooms Atc´s

Hi, I'm Vero (@ Vero.kt) and I welcome you to today's inspiration. How's everybody ? I've been playing with  Mixed media marks Grungy Stuff , Round in circles and  Textured Mushrooms to create a colorful Atc´s , that I hope you like.

Very easy to do, we started. We cut watercolor paper to a size of 2.5 x 3.5 inches, if you prefer to work in cm, 6.4x8.9. In my case, the paper is smooth and hot pressed, and I color the backgrounds with pigments.

When the backgrounds dry (we can speed up the process with a heat gun) we will add texture and depth with different inks, in my case I have used distress oxide.To start, I choose a stamp from the Mixed media marks , apply the inks, spray water, and stamp, (I'm not looking for definition, I'm looking for a watercolor effect, watery).

Help myself with the dryer and go back to stamp with different inks, to continue adding depth and texture.

Art Journal Page Inky Friends

Hi, I'm Vero (@ Vero.kt) and I welcome you to today's inspiration. How's everybody ? I've been playing with  Mixed media marks , Grungy Stuff , Round in circles and  Inky Friends to create a page in my little art journal. I hope you like it.

I started by cutting watercolor paper into a square, 4x4 inch format, adding color with pigments.To speed up the drying process, help me with a dryer. 

To add texture, use multiple stamps with inks in shades similar to the background.With permanent black ink, false stitching that stands out against the colorful background

When I use the stamps, I have cardboard or paper on my desk or work table, and I download the ink, so that I can later use it in different projects.

I choose one of the stamps from the Inky Friends set, stamp it, color it with watercolor pencils, then cut.

One of the parts that I enjoy the most is the composition, I have to admit that it is usually the part that takes me the most.

Now I leave you some photos with details of the project.I hope you like it as much as I do when making them.
