Kick Start Your Art Day 3

So far, so good! 

I'm back for day 3 of this fun art journal challenge,

organized by the cool chicks at Smeared and Smudged.

They give a daily prompt, and then you have 24 hours to complete a 

journal page and enter it to win daily prizes, and a killer rubber

grand prize at the end. Nice.

Today's prompt is

Easy Found Objects Background Technique.

Sounds easy enough, right?

I started my journal page using Dylusions Spray Inks.

I am loving how vivid the colors are, compared to my homemade stuff.

I never have a shortage of bubble wrap, so I figured it

was a good item to begin creating the background with.

Dylusions spray cap. Perfect for circles, bubbles, abstract dots.

I have a ton of these lying around. Most with paint on them. 

I can never seem to find the one with paint already on it, so I

grab another one.

I have also amassed a weird amount of air pillows used for shipping.

I rarely re-use them, but hate to throw them out, just in case....

So, I cut up one of the air pillows, smooshed it up,

dipped it into some Deco Art aqua glitter paint, and voila!

Instant art tool!

I pounced the smooshed plastic onto my page to create some

depth and added glittery goodness.

Lastly, I used a defunct credit card to smear some DA glittery orange paint

onto my page. 

 Once, the paint is dry, it gives a really nice, shiny sheen.

Oh, and some sparkle, too!  

I had this great digi image from Rick St. Dennis colored up to match.

I love these guys!

Added a witty sentiment from Ginger's House.

And some Orange Peel Stickles to match.

And here you have my journal page for Day 3!!

See ya tomorrow!

Creepmas: Day 8

And on the 8th day, the demons turned their sunken eyes towards the skies, and shrieked an ungodly sound in unison.

Or sang Creepmas carols. Same difference.

Today I am using one of my very favorite images from the dark recesses of

Rick St. Dennis' mind.

Please give a warm Creepmas welcome to the 

"2012 Fah Lah La This, Carolers".

I love these crazy kids!

After coloring them to life with Copics, I used a Gothic Arch die from Memorybox, and my all-time favorite sentiment 

from Leavenworth-Jackson, "Heathens Greetings". 

I popped a fancy red gem into the center of the sentiment, and these

boys are ready to sing about nipping off Jack Frost's nose all night long.

Next up on the RSD hop is Aletha.
