Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Art Journal Page using Dylusions Small Creative Journal and Tim Holtz's Palette Collage paper

Art Journaling is the theme of the week over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.  I whipped out my Dylusions Small Creative Journal and got to work!


To make my background, I started by brushing some white paint onto my paper, then before it dried, I shook on some Infusions Colored Stain (In the Navy and Rusty Car), which I spritzed with water, then dabbed with a baby wipe.  I also added some watercolor paint into the messy mix.


When that dried, I glued down some Tim Holtz Palette Collage paper and blended it in with white paint.


When that dried, I stamped some circles onto the page using Tim Holtz's Halftone and Rings stamp set.  I painted in some of the circles with Dylusions Cherry Pie paint, then decided to sketch a branch image.  Once my image was done, I ripped pieces of patterned paper (from Dina Wakley's Spark books and Simple Stories' Flea Market paper) into leaf-shapes and glued them inside the leaves of my branch sketch.


Once that was done, I did more bending with acrylic paint.  I also added some outlines to the page in blue using Dina Wakley's Scribble Sticks.  I did a little more stamping here and there with Tim Holtz's Faded Type stamp set.  I stamped out the "Peace" sentiment using Tim Holtz's Seasonal Scribbles and glued that on.  I did some more doodling and scribbling and this page was done!


Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
