Bold and Beautiful art journal spread with video tutorial

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Ombre". We're also showcasing Dina Wakley products. If you have them, we sure like to see them used in your project.



Dina Wakley, together with Dyan Reavely, has a product line, and that includes a Gel Plate. So why not make an art journal spread with it. I used 4 different colors of Dina Wakley Heavy Body Paints: Lapis, Sky, Turquoise and Lime. With a Brayer I spread them out onto the Gel Plate. Then I used the Dina Wakley Spaced Dots stencil to create a nice pattern. That is quite a bold design with the colors I've chosed....hihihi. I applied Distress Ink Chipped Sapphire on the white edges. And with some  Dylusions Spray Black Marble I added some black splatters.

 

With the Papillon background stamp I stamped in random places around the edges. Then it was time for Washi Tape. With the Old School Number stencil and Texture Paste mixed with Blueberry Heavy Body Paint, I applied some texture. After it was dry, I gave the larger numbers some dot decorations with a white marker.

 

The letters I have cut out with the Word Play die and the Alphabet Thinlits. With the Distress Crayon Black Soot I applied a shadow around it by putting Distress Crayon on the letters and then rubbing it around with my finger. With a white marker made some doodles.

Wow, your art journal pages are beautiful! I love the colours and how you have shaded them to give an ombre look - perfect 😁. Wishing you a happy new week! J 😊

Gorgeous - love how the dark shadows at the edges draw the eye inward to the vivid brights at the centre, and the lights and darks of all the stencilling and shading are so dramatic too.

OOOOK! So this is how the gel plate works! The effect is stunning and I am speechless. I havent's imagine this could be so cool! I love the shades of color you used and the mix of blues and lime. Great combo. Love the doodling on the letters and the vibrant yellow flower in the girl's hands is just a perfect touch. LOVELY pages! Hugs, Macarena
