Art Journal Page for Scrap Matrix DT

Hi everyone, I cant believe it is the start of another month already!  The good thing about that - it is new challenge time over at Scrap Matrix.!!!!!  This months challenge is a moodboard all about houses.

I have not been one of the ones that have been able to stay home, I have had to go to work each day and as I live in the country live has not been too different for me.

This moodboard was certainly a favourite of mine - colour and houses - what a great combination.

Here is my page

I have created this in my Dylusions Large Art Journal.  After covering the page with gesso I got to play with the new Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays   - Marine, Fuchsia and Lemon.

I love how these paints interact with each other - and the desire to dry was difficult to resist but with being plastic paints heat is not recommended.   

As I am not a patient person I decided to use another piece of paper to mop up the excess

I LOVED how it pulled the paint and created texture.  The paint has dried a little and when I pulled the piece of paper off  (I have used Paper Artsy Smoothy cardstock) it lifted the paint in areas which created a real rough feel that I love.- I have put the piece on the right to the side and will use this on my next project later in the month.

While the paint was drying I got a second piece of Paper Artsy Smoothy Cardstock and painted stripes using Dylusion Paints - Tropical Sangria, Sour Appletini, Mango Punch and Lemon Drop.  There are the new colours from Dylusions and are so delicious.

I have then stamped the houses stamp from Paper Artsy ZA40

I have then used Dylusion Paint Pens and Posca white and black pens to colour the images which I adhered to the page.  The title I have stamped with Tim Holtz Block Upper Case stamp and Black Ink.

I have then written around the houses in a black Posca Pen.

Here are some close ups:
