Artist Trading Coins by Dutt Preety

Hi friends :)

Good Morning !

Preeti Datta (aka Dutt Preety) here. 

I'd like to share a Set of 12 Artist Trading Coins today. 

I've prepared a lil' pictorial for these. 

Artist Trading Coins are very popular nowadays, these are 2.5 inches in diameter and serve as a variant for ATCs or Artist Trading Cards.

Pictorial:

Step 1: Randomly Applied Dylusions Paints to Strathmore Watercolor paper 

(the messier, the better)

  Step 2: Created ink splatters and a few pops of color using Dylusion Sprays, Lindys Gang Sprays and Distress Paints (again, done very randomly)

 Step 3: Sponged on white gesso through Tim Holtz Mini Stencils to create texture & interest in the background (modelling paste or crackle paste could also be used for a more textured look) 

 Step 4: Punched out twelve 2.5 inch circles & outlined the stenciled patterns with a fine tip black pen

 Step 5: Darkened the edges of the circles with distress ink and drew on double stitched borders around the circles using a white gel pen (you can even add real stitching to the coins for a more textured look)

 Step 6: Used Tim Holtz paper dolls as the focal images. Created the composition on each coin & layered on washi tape, thread, Tim Holtz stickers & die cuts.

Art journal page with acrylic paints and Gelatos crayons

Tim Holtz stamps and stencils have always been my inspiration. One  page in my notebook is dedicated to vintage style. I used papers designed by me and I wonderful stencils Crafter's Workshop.

I also used Ranger stamps. The mix media I used is really explosive 😉 since I used Dylusions paints and Gelatos crayons. I mixed the paint with water and I dripped it all over the paper. Gelatos was spread all over the surface by tiny soft make up brush since it's perfect for it.

I used clear gesso.

I used Gelatos and stencil to mae a background.

I glue all elements.

 I spash the paper. I used acrylic paints and water.

I put the stencil heavy body gel and i Used gold foil.

Mood Board Art Journal Page by Allara Bamforth

Hey Soul Sisters,

I'm back on the blog today with my take on the March Mood Board below.

I start off in my art journal by using some Transparent Gel Medium through a Tim Holtz Layered String Stencil  then picking up a few colours from the mood board, I paint them over in sections over the top of the medium. I used Dylusions Paint Periwinkle Blue, Dylusions Paint Vanilla Custard and for some texture Finnabair Patina Rust Effect Paste Mint green

As I was working through my process I had intended to keep this page in line with a more beachy feel as it looks onthe mood board however it kind of took another direction, possibly due how I was feeling after a traumatic event I had experienced at the end of last week.

To build up the texture I've included a number of mediums. First I added some 7 Dot Studio Dreamscapes - Cloudy Paper. Then I have added some of Dina Wakley's Collage Words and used some of the Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks to add some more definition and colours

To build up even more texture I have cut out faces and circles from the Jane Davenport Mixed Media Collage Napkins, these are great to create colour and interest and once you put your gel medium over the top thaey seem to melt into the page.  I've also added some arrows from the 7Dots Dreamscapes collection Die cut and used some opaque texture paste through the 7Dots Dreamscapes Geometry Stencil

I had an old silver metallic pen which I've used to create a few interesting elements in the background then used some black paint in my Fineline container to write the quote.

To finish off I 've used Dylusions Melted chocolate Spray to add some drips and drops.

And this how the finished piece ended up. Nothing like I had in mind when I started the page but I really like how it turned out. I can reflect on how I was feeling while I created it.

All products used are linked back to the fantastic Art and Soul Studio Shop - I could just browse the products all day!!

Till next time.
