Art Journaling {July}

Art Journaling... art journaling... it is so superb. for the soul, for the heart, for the mind.

I talk a lot in class about how the girls can make their pages as personal or non personal as they want... and that it will never be a requirement to share them. I always just hope that people learn new techniques, tools, supplies or even just gain a little inspiration from my pages.

Which brings me to July's first art journaling class -- I shared some tips n tricks on incorporating handwriting into your art journaling. We chatted about making your swoops taller, your tails longer and exaggerating your curves. We also talked about stretching out your letters and squeezing them closer together. Then we isolated some areas, covered some up, and just had fun with color. I also introduced Woodies, a new to class water soluble crayon by Stabilo.



We used some of the newest stamps I designed for Viva Las VegaStamps! and a stabilo marks all pencil as well. Here's the full how to video:






You can pop on over to my Society6 to see some fun products with my original design.. there are carry all pouches, tote bags, prints, cell phone covers and more.

DeeDee Catron
Glenda Tkalac
Viva Las VegaStamps!


And here's my project to inspire your little creative heart:


To start with I'd like to share the following video that demonstrates stenciling, stamping and combining the two using the Stitch a Doily Stencil from StencilGirl and Dictionary Page Stamp from VLVS!:



After the background was dried both paint and stamping I got out some brand new Lindy's Stamp Gang magicals, they literally arrived on my doorstep yesterday. I added color to my background using the Time Traveler Teal. I adhered the tag to some watercolor paper and trimmed it down. There's a bit of stitching around the edge and then.. onto more layers!



Before I got too busy with layering, I knew I needed a great center piece. I have recently molded this stunning lion face using my Amazing Mold Putty, and figured he'd be JUST.PERFECT. So I cast him in Amazing Casting Resin and gave him an aged look with black acrylic paint. THEN I got to layering.



Below my lion focal point is a mini tag and die cut piece from Nature Walk (7 Dots Studio), May Arts Crochet ribbon, Prima canvas, flower layers and engraver brad, cheesecloth, thread, UmWowStudio Wild Lilies chipboard (covered in gesso and distress ink), vintage measuring tape, Heidi Swapp arrow, staples and paper clip.




You can see in the bottom left corner the French Writing background stamp from VLVS! and a good detailed shot of the stenciling and stamping. As a final bit o' goodness I trimmed up a piece of Nature Walk and stamped Wanderlust in archival ink. A bit more stitching to secure it and DONE. ♥ A few other supplies not mentioned yet : Gesso, palette knife, Sizzix Tim Holtz tag die and 9Th Wave collection by 7 Dots Studio.

Don't forget you're onto Glenda Tkalac Next! Hope you found some useful stuff here today :)
