Hello! I apologize for a very late post as we are closing up this month's summer theme here in the blog. Believe me when I say that when this post was written it was very hot.
Welcome back to the BPM blog. It is definitely summer as it is very hot here in the Midwest US. And since it is summer, the Blank Page Muse DT is creating projects related to summer for the month of August. Summer is a season when friends get together. My double paged art journal is all about this.
The stamp I used on this layout is the Blank Page Muse Just Us Girls Line Figure Art Rubber Stamp Sheet. This stamp set, when purchased, comes as a single sheet with all the images on it. I cut the images apart leaving a small border around it. This helps approximate the area needed to stamp the image avoiding the use of a stamp positioner. Of course, you can use a stamp positioner if you prefer to.
I adhered the stamp on a stamping block using a washable glue. The washable glue provides the right amount of tackiness to keep the rubber stamp stucked to the stamping block. Since it is washable, it comes off very easy by just wiping the glue off with a damp rag.
I stamped the images on my re-purposed planner. Despite using a dye ink in stamping the images and heat setting this to dry the ink, I still had some smearing on some parts of the images. I tried to cover this up with the coloring.
I colored the images with Prismacolor color pencils. I used metallic pens on some parts of the images.
To fill the background, I used the Blank Page Muse Blocks Pattern Stencil. I layed the stencil on the double paged art journal. I covered the stamped images with scrap paper to protect it from being inked.
I scribbled Tim Holtz Distress crayons on the openings of the stencils, alternating the colors. I used a waterbrush to spread the color. Initially, I used the stencil to create a perfect block shape but I realized that I was mixing the colors. I resorted to free painting the blob of crayon with the waterbrush to create it into a block shape.
I continued doing this until most of the double spread is covered with color blocks.
I stamped the word girlfriends all over the page, sometimes using the second generation ink for some variation.
I hope you like today's project.
