Sideshow journal page

Hello! I am back for week two of being guest designer at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge . This week the challenge theme is 'Explore the World'.

I decided to combine Tim Holtz globe die and Sideshow stamp set on this journal page.

First I made a background in my journal - some tissue paper and gesso followed by yellow and green paint with my fingers and a babywipe. (Dylusions paints)

 Next I took a die cut of the globe and used it as a mask in three places - leaving behind the green / yellows of the globe.

I added some stencilling and stamping to the background before adding some tissue tape and cut out Sideshow characters.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Playing with Dylusions paints

I recently purchased some Dylusions paints - a new toy to play with! I watched a couple of Dina Wakely videos too - I know, a bit illogical - should have used her paints!

I love her artistic way of using paints to create a background and so gave it a go. I added lots of water to the paint and after the initial (fairly random) placing of the paint on the card - let the water do the work and left it alone (a hard thing for me!). There were a couple of yuk's but I quite liked this one.

I added some complimentary coloured stencilling and stamping.

 

This is my latest creation for Country View Crafts 'Travel' themed challenge.
