AEDM - day 28

I'm so pleased that I have managed to do some art every day for 28 days.  Only two more days of the Art Every Day Month to complete.

Here's today's art.  I randomly stuck down tissue tape across the page and then inked the page with Distress Inks.   While I was tidying up I found the tags that I'd been playing with for something else ~ can't remember what!!!  Anyway, I stuck those on and then found some rub-ons to put on.


It's hard to tell that there's any ink on the page.  When it's dry I may have to go back and ink again.  The tissue tape seems to have absorbed all the ink!

AEDM ~ 27th November

Continuing yesterday's theme of using Dylusions stamps, I stamped around the edge with a stamp from the Around the Edge set and then across the middle with stamps from the How does your garden grow set.

I drew over the stamps with Glaze pens so it looks more like me doodling than stamping.  What a cheat!


It all looks confused and over the top.  At least I've learned not to do it again!

Art Every Day Month ~ day 26

Today I experimented with gesso.

I spread a thick layer of gesso over the left hand page and stamped into it.  Each time I lifted the stamp on the left I pressed it down on the righthand page.  I used the Dylusions stamp from the Further Round the Edge set.   The page on the right is ready for tomorrow.

When the gesso was dry I sprayed it with Dylusions mica ink.




When the ink was totally dry I stamped over it with black and plum Archival Ink.  Here I used the stamps from the Dylusions Around the Edge set.
And then played a bit with some lettering.
