Colourful Christmas...

So for something a little different, I thought that I would do a Christmas page using a few non traditional colours.  I have used a few techniques on this page.

I used the tree stencil and instead of drawing or inking over it.  I wrote my journalling inside of it.  This is a technique that I have seen used before and I think it is a great idea.  I is also like a hidden story.  I can see that I am going to be using this some more.

The other technique that I used was to ink with the stencil and then set the stencil off center and using my white Sharpie so dry around the shapes and doodling inside the shapes.  Effective isn't it?

Playing with new Stencils...

Have to say I just love it when I find some new stencils.  I got my hands on some cool cog stencils and I just could not wait to play with them.  Don't you just love it??

This is the finished product.  I have been having so much fun playing with the different way to journal. Finding interesting way to accent the page.  it is so amazing what a little white can do for a page.

Just a few squiggles here and there can make all the different.

Lady Beetle...

So I was cleaning up my scrap room the other day and found this cute little Lady Beetle stamp.  Oh course I just had to use it.  I really don't need an excuse to open up my art journal and play.  This was a fun one.  Nice bright colours and a little red to lift it all.

I have to say it is a very cute little Lady Beetle.

And again on top of my favourite stamp.
