Rita Barakat Designs and Tonic Studios

Hi There! If you have arrived here from Rita Barakat's blog your on your way to a super fun hop!!

For my project I would like to share with you this fun art journal page!!

 I love just sitting down with my art journal and some products and letting my imagination take over. It is so relaxing! This page started with a background created using Rita's Zen Doodle Cloud Stamp from Art Foamies. 

After stamping I used watercolor pencils by Tonic to finish the background.

I added the sweet face using Rita's "So You Say You Can't Draw" Stencil and then watercolored her as well.

This week Rita Barakat Designers are doing a spotlight on Tonic Studious USA!

Technique Junkies Stamps is

celebrating a new Illustrator!

I did a fun journal page using the Reflections stamp.  I just love this new stamp!! Her facial expression is priceless. I created this journal page by first applying clear gesso and allowing it to dry. I then used a paint and stencil technique by brushing on paint in an area and then laying down a stencil and wiping through it with a damp baby wipe. This creates the pattern. Doing this several times creates a very interesting dimensional background. The stamp was applied with black archival ink, clear embossed and heat set. I added some light blue marker to her eyes and clear embossed them as well as pink marker to her lips and again embossed but this time with an iridescent pink powder. I stamped the Namaste stamp using black archival ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I added a little more texture around the page edges using Rita’s Art Foamie candy stamp. I just lightly inked it with black archival ink and stamped lightly.

Next stop on our hop is over to Jeanne Streiff's blog and see what she created !
