Resketch COLOR Journal collaboration with StencilGirl®-Vintage Blue

Are  you ready for some AWESOMENESS?!!

Tina Walker, the StencilGirl® collaboration columnist, challenged a small group of creators to choose ONE color and create art journal spreads filling up an ENTIRE Resketch journal.  Resketch journals are made with reclaimed paper!!!  You can see her collaboration columnist post over at StencilGirl® Talks for all of the details.

I picked a small sized resketch journal and the color BLUE.  For me, blue signifies openness, it is vast like the sky and the ocean and in my journal I opened up to create with only ONE color. It taught me that there are so many choices EVEN with limitations.

This is going to be a picture heavy post but stick with it...we are having a giveaway that you won't want to miss!!  And you will be able to link to the other AMAZING artists participating and see the beautiful creations they came up with!!

I left the cover as is and just colored the beautiful artwork on the jurnal I received.

Just look at all of this BLUE!!

I am going to zip through all the pages with some quick notes and a link to the StencilGirl stencil used.

#TheStencilfiedJournal - Prompt 16

Prompt 16!  And we had so much fun we begged Tina for more prompts so we could keep going!!  You'll be seeing more fun stuff added to this journal but for right now...

I went big with some color on this one!  The back ground is Dina Wakley paint, peacock and olive (2 of my FAVS!)  I stencil with the S445 Faces in the Crowd stencil then stamped paint cirlces and squares over.

My insert envelope for my secret note to myself is folded from a piece of ledger paper, stencil with crackle paste throught the S181 Warped Holes 6 stencil then I sprayed Distress spray in abandoned coral, cracked pistachio and fossilized amber on both sides.

Some wors, some splatters and I tucked a tag with a note to myself inside.

I am in love with all the color!!

Thanks for Tina and StencilGirl for the first phase of this jurnaling journey!  Keep watching the StencilGirl Blog, StencilGirl Talk for a feature by Tina Walker on this #TheStencilfiedJournal collaboration!!

And come back soon to see more pages inspired by Tina's prompts and StencilGirl stencils!!

#TheStencilfiedJournal - Prompt 15

We are at the second tot he last prompt in the original set of 16 prompt for this collaboration!

I used an envelope to create a pocket to insert into my journal.

I stencil with the same stencil on both side of the pocket but used different colors of Dina Wakley paint on each side.

Stencil used: S532 Double Diameters

Then doodling with my Posca paint pens.
Now I have a place to put memorabilia or little bits I want to keep.

Stay tuned for prompt 16...

#TheStencilfiedJournal - Prompt 14

Just a couple more prompts left in the first set of #TheStencilfiedJournal callaborations so here we go with 14.

I couldn't just stencil straight lines now could I?

The background is gold watercolor and then I stenciled with Stone and Mortar Version 2 using Dina Wakley paint in olive.  Quote and doodling with Posca Paint pens.

Great quote right??!!

#TheStencilfiedJournal - Prompt 13

Ready for prompt 13??  Let's get right to it!

I rolled some Dina Wakley paint on the bottom of my slipper and stepped on you journal page.

The next layer are dots I painted before I got out the stencil to do my journaling.

I used the Vintage Typewriter Lower Case Alphabet (L261) stencil, black paint and posca paint pens.

I am loving those tiny little dots!!

See you for prompt 14!

#TheStencilfiedJournal - Prompt 12

Prompt 12 was a challenge for some in our group but I had SO MUCH FUN with it!!

I was really happy with how my front and back cover worked out!!

Stencils used: L486 Stars Inspired by Matisse, S550 Face It
I used Dina Wakley paints for the background and then painted the face stencil (with my FINGER) with them also.

After it dried I soaked the edges in coffe for about 5 minutes.

I love me some coffee stained pages!!!

See you back here for prompt 13!

#TheStencilfiedJournal - Prompt 11

I have a bunch of catching up to do on my blog posts for our collaboration...
Here is prompt 11.

So if you remember we tore a page out and letf it out in the elements...it was time to bring it back in for this prompt.

I used Dina Wakley Media tape to tip my page back into my journal.

The glue I used did't hold that well so my pages came apart but I love what the elements did to the pages.

Before they came apart though I stencil the back of the page that I toe out.

Stencils used:  S319 Scribble Blooms, S604 Mikki's Flowers
Stenciled with Dina Wakley paints; lemon and sedona, then doodling and writing with Posca Paint pens.

I love the naturally worn area from being out side!

See you soon...
