Dream Thicket Rubber Art Stamps Blog Hop!

Welcome to today's blog hop celebrating the official release of Kristin Peterson's new Dream Thicket Rubber Art Stamps at Paperbag Studios! I was absolutely delighted when Roben-Marie Smith invited me to join Paperbag Studios Creative Team and participate in today’s blog hop!

Today I'm sharing what I created for Week 22 of
The Original Documented Life Project™ The Journal
with Kristin's new stamps!!

May Theme
Touchy Feely (Texture)

Art Challenge:  Textured Paper
Journal Prompt:  I'm So Not Feeling It

I began by spreading acrylics with a recycled gift card onto my art journal page. Inspired by this week's challenge, I painted textured wallpaper with a rubber brayer and pink acrylic paint and adhered this to the upper left corner. I created the next layer by gluing Art Pops™ cards from Roben-Marie’s In the Garden Collection to the page. I stamped Kristin's new designs onto a Jet Black Ink Pad then underpaper, then cut and collaged these onto the page to add another layer. I love the wonderfully bold sense of mark-making these hand carved images add to my mixed-media art journaling!

Lastly, I wrote words inspired by the prompt in black ink around the images.

I had fun incorporating Kristin's new stamps in my small mixed-media art journal, too! I continued the process of stamping Kristin's images onto a Jet Black Ink Pad then underpaper, then cut and collaged these onto the pages with more In the Garden Art Pops™, acrylic paint and handwriting!

Below are details:

In another small art journal spread, I combined Kristin's images with StencilGirl Products designed by Rae Missigman along with an image from Rae's Flowers #2 Printable Collage Sheet.
