Not Just Cards Art Journal Pages

Welcome  back to another challenge at Not Just Cards. Like always the challenge is "anything goes". 

I have used an image by SLS Lines, one of our sponsors, for my first art journal page called Goth Girl with Top Hat.

To make this journal page I started with my Gell plate, added some stencils images, rubber stamped skeletons heads, die cut arrows, locks and keys.  The Goth girl was Copics and a Gell pen.  To complete the project I added some stenciled words.

For my second art journal page I used an image from Shadow Clocksy  Digis  called Biohazard Girl.

To make this journal page I started with one of my my Gell plate images added some eye and a sentiment.  My image was coloured with Copics , The sentiment was a quote by Ghandi.

Mad Hatter Art Journal Page

The book Alice in Wonderland turned 150 years old this month and I thought it was fitting that I create am art journal page using this great Mad Hatter digital image from SLS Lines, one of our sponsors this month at Not Just Cards. 

To make my journal page I added several different colours of acrylic paints to my background and used a brayer to mix the colours. I added my Mad Hatter image to the page and colured the image with my Copics, gell pen and a glitter pen.  To complete the journal page I added a coordinating piece of ribbon, washi tape and a sentiment that I created on my computer.

Cherub Gift Box

This is another of my projects for Not Just Cards this month.  I made this gift box using a digital image from Delightful Digis'  Angel and Cherub collection.    

Here are additional views of the gift box.

I started my project by painting a kraft box with a couple of different colours of grey paint and edging the sides with Soot Distress Ink. My next step was to rubber stamp a flourish image all over the box giving the box an old look to it.  I coloured my Cherup image with a light colouring of Copic Markers and then applied sugaring to the complete image.  

To complete the project I added a die cut "love" and a fabric sweater enclosure to the front to the box.   I like the antique look for the box.  I think it is a nice effect to go with the image.   Thank you for stopping by and I hope we have lots of creativity today.   

Let's Go Shopping

I made this little shopping bag as one of my projects for this weeks Not Just Cards anything goes challenges. The image is from All  Dressed Up, one of this month's sponsors.  I just love their cute images.  This image is called I love my puppy.

I coloured my image with Copic markers, added bling and glitter to give the bag some  sparkle.  the background pattern paper and the bows were papers I had in my stash. The butterfly was die cut from a scrap of alcohol ink paper I had in my re-cycle bin.

Owlways Love One Another

I made this little shopping bag for the challenge this week at Not Just Cards.  I love the cute owl I used for this bag from Kitty Bee one of our sponsors this week.

I coloured the owl with my Copic Markers , cut it out and added it to the background I made from some recycle paper that had once wrapped stain glass that my girlfriend had given  me.   I painted the papers with some acrylic paint I had sitting on my work desk.   The bag also was recycled from a gift received awhile ago.

Get Creative with Not Just Cards Anything Goes Challenge

These are my two projects I made for this week's challenge at Not Just Cards. the first image I used was by one of our sponsors, QKR Stampede  called Painter Rabbit.   I coloured my image and cut him out.   Thought it would be cute to put in a nest of Easter Eggs to be coloured. 

My second project is a image from Sticky Bear called BBKates - Cool Buddy's.  I coloured the image and then added some Diamond Glaze to give the glasses some texture. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a creative day. Hope you will join us this week at Not Just Cards.
