Travel Collage Art Journal ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Red Rubber Designs has a great assortment of travel stamps, which I featured on this art journal page! 



     The colors and bricks were inspired by the Lindy's Gang July Color Challenge.



     I started with some background stamping using the Script Background and the Ancient Map Unmounted Rubber Stamps. Then I embossed the travel images onto white tissue paper using Jet Black Archival Ink and Lindy's Black Forest Black Embossing Powder, adhered with Prima Soft Matte Gel. The Paris Collage and Triomphe Collage were layered together, anchored by the Fleur de Lis, (no longer available) stamped onto paper clay. 



     The bricks were done with a stencil and white gesso. Then I colored them and the rest of the page with Lindy's Sprays (Black Orchid Silver, Autumn Maple Crimson, and Cajun Carnelian Red) and Magicals (Oom Pah Pah Pink and Black Forest Black). The red sprays were also added to Prima Rust Paste (Red) and applied to the bricks for some texture. 




     Unlike the other images, the Liberty one, was adhered over the bricks. 



     
     The wooden embellishments are from My Mind's Eye (Hello World), with the destination arrow over the Tower of Pisa.




         I stamped the Fiore Dollar Stamp (no longer available) onto paper clay. Then I colored it with Black Orchid Silver Spray and Oom Pah Pah Pink Magical Shaker, followed by a coat of Queen Sheba's Silver Embossing Powder




     Buttons were the finishing touch, with hand-stitching added to them! 

     Thanks for looking!

Summer in the City ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Hello! I hope you're enjoying the rest of the weekend. I had a groovy time with this art journal spread, using Dylusions Paints, and a variety of  stamps from Red Rubber Designs



     As I was going through my art journal, I came across this background that I had previously painted with Dylusions Paints. So I turned it upside down to create the illusion of light over the buildings. Then I stamped the sheet music and squares from the Vintage Background stamp set with Archival Ink (Jet Black) throughout both pages. To create the buildings, I applied black gesso to the Dylusions Stencil (Large Squares). Once it dried, I reapplied the stencil, to add Dylusions (Lemon Zest) Paint to some of the windows. 



     The cardboard sun was also painted with Dylusions Paints, with the addition of some micro beads. Then I stamped the rays with Dylusions Paint (Lemon Zest) using the Rays of Hope Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp. 



     The same techniques used on the sun, were also applied to the cardboard butterflies, but with different colored paints and beads. 

  

     All of the silhouettes were embossed with Emerald Creek (Black Cherry) Aroma Embossing Powder, using the Hey Life Stamp. 


     After blending a strip of white cardstock with Dylusions Paints to create an ombre effect, I embossed "Hot" and "Summer" with Emerald Creek (Onyx Frost) Embossing Powder, using the Alpha Grunge Stamp (no longer available). 




     The rest of the lyrics and year, inspired by the Summer in the City Challenge at Emerald Creek Dares, are Charcoal Thickers, embossed with a layer of Rocky Road Baked Texture, followed by a coat of Hammered Metal Embossing Powder.




     The Statue of Liberty was embossed onto white cardstock with Emerald Creek Baked Texture (Patina Oxide) using the Liberty stamp. Then I smooshed her with some Distress Inks (Cracked Pistachio and Hickory Smoke). 




     After painting some more cardstock with Dylusions Paints, I stamped and embossed all of the flowers with the Blossom Builders Stamp using Emerald Creek (Black Cherry) Embossing Powder, also used on the chipboard music notes, done in three coats for extra shine. 



Thanks for looking!
