Sing A Song | Stampotique ATC Swap

Hello Lovelies,

I must admit I haven't been feeling the best again so I haven't been making much projects or youtube videos. I became sick again for the 2nd time this month but I am starting to feel better. So I joined a Stampotique ATC swap for the month of July and the theme is "Sing a Song". Not gonna lie, it took me a long time to make these 2 little ATCs  but I like how they turned out.  I will be entering these ATCs in different challenges. For the Sing a Song swap I decided to use song lyrics/song titles.

This first ATC will be entered in Haunted Design House "number of the beast" challenge to celebrate the 666+1 followers. You had to use a monster or beastie or anything that you  can be inspired with from the challenge name. 

So I used Mink by Stampotique because she gives off a creepy beastie feel and I love it! And my song lyric is from the song "Skulls"  by one of my favourite bands The Misfits. I hope it is beastie enough. The background was made using gel medium and a Tim Holtz stencil called Shattered. I love how it turned out and I applied my own homemade high flow acrylic black paint on top.

For my second ATC I made it with the new Stampotique Challenge in mind. The theme is "love, anniversary, wedding" and I went with love.

The song I picked is called "Give Me Love" by another one of my favorite bands The Used. The heart in the background was made from one of my homemade Gelli Plate and I just stamped on it and cut out heart shapes. I used various heart punches and glitter tape to punch out hearts. And I love the little acrylic flower on her hair. The stamp I used is Chicken by Stampotique.

I will also enter this ATC in Simon Says "anything goes" challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Exploding Heart Art Journal Page Ft. Golden High Flow Acrylics

Hello Lovelies, 

The other day I sat down and worked on an art journal page using my new Golden High Flow acrylics and I wanted to play around with them and see what they could do. I had a lot of fun working on this page, so much so that I didn't even notice when my purple High Flow spilled all over my desk and wall. I spent over an hour cleaning everything up and trying to save as much paint as I could. I managed to save a little less than half, ugh it breaks my heart. And I just got them the day before!

Here are some pictures of my page (process video is down below)

I loved letting the ink move freely. I used one of my faux-gelli prints as the background (click the link to learn more!)

And here is a video of my process:
