What happend to Spongebob? by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi Lovelies


Welcome back on the VLVS Blog.

Today, I like to share a true crime story ;)

"What happend to Spongebob?"


close-ups:




Let's go and look for clues :) This is how this Art Journal page came about:

01.) First I need 2 pieces of paper. One the size of my art journal (in this case 20cm x 13.5cm) and one the size of my chosen motif.



02.) I cut out the motif on the AJ side so that only the edge of the fish bowl remains.



03.) In the next step, I stamp the inside of the fish bowl. In this case, with a pineapple.



4.) Then I color the entire picture (pineapple and fish bowl)



5.) Now I glue random little pieces of sponge on.



6.) I use Dylusion's paint spray to add some "blood splashes" to the whole thing. And then I top it off with a single googly eye :)



07.) My picture is now finished. Now I cover the edge with 3D foam. I cut a transparent film the size of the paper and spray it with alcohol inks.



08.) I then stick the foil onto my finished motif. The 3D foam creates a hollow space between the image and the foil, so that it looks like a real fish bowl.



09.) Now I have to design the empty AJ page. To do this, I take a small syringe with a fine needle, fill it with Dylusions paint spray and apply splatter patterns to the page. Now it looks like blood is squirting out of the fish bowl.



10.) To round it all off, I also glue pieces of sponge on here and of course the second eye cannot be missing.



11.) Finally, I finish designing the AJ page and glue the colored picture onto the back of the cut-out opening. Then I glue it into my art journal and finally attach the "Crime Scene" banner. Done!



Important! No sponges had to die for this project. ;) 

The stamps, I used:

- Fish Bowl

- Whimsical Pineapple

- Crime Scene Tape

other supplies:

- Watercolorpaper

- VersaFine Clair

- handmade watercolors

- foil

- Dylusions Ink spray

- Alcohol Inks

See ya peeps *mwah*

Travel the universe

 Hello everyone, 

For today's project I have made a journal spread. It is still my favourite thing to do! 





I think I went for the travel theme as I have not been able to go on vacation in the last 2 1/2 years due to restrictions and I have had enough. So here's to 2022 being the year where we can go back to some sort of normal. 

I have used the following stamps: 


I also used:
Distress Oxide inks
Embossing powder
Copic Markers
Washi tape
a stencil

Thank you so much for stopping by today !

Artjournal pages by Corrie

 Hello everyone, 

For today's post I have made a double artjournal spread. It is very colourful so get your sunglasses out! 


Here's how I made this:


I used these Distress Oxide inks and a blending tool to add colour to my pages. I put the ink straight on the paper of my art journal. This is a Moleskine sketch book. 


Next I dropped some water on it. 


I then stamped the background using the same inks and some darker shades of the same colours.


Adding some black stamping and inking around the edges to frame the pages and some white splatters from a paint pen. 


The focal. I love this stamp. She looks very regal. 


I added some pink to her cheeks. The sentiments are clippings stickers by Tim Holtz. 



I have used the following stamps:


Apart from the stamps I used:
Distress Oxide inks in rainbow colours
Versafine Clair Nocturne ink
White paint pen

Thank you for stopping by today !

Into the wild blue yonder

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to the VLVS! blog where today I am sharing a Journal spread. 








I still really like the Banksy stamps by VLVS! so from time to time I can't stop myself from using them, like today. The background is made with acrylic paints, a stencil and VLVS! stamps. I also used a little bit of washi tape. The girls was stamped on tissue paper and cut out and glued on, just because stamping in a journal can be problematic. 

I have used the following stamps:


Other materials:
Dina Wakley Acrylics - Lemon, Lime, Turquoise and Cheddar
 Amsterdam Acrylics - Titanium White 
Reeves Acrylics - Mars Black
Archival inks - Jet Black, Watering Can, Tiger Lily, Aquamarine, Leaf Green
Tissue paper
Tim Holtz Washi tape 'Halloween'
Black fine liner

Thank you for stopping by today !

Wicked

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the VLVS! blog where today I am sharing an art journal spread. I was a relatively simple one too but I enjoyed making it.


Here's how I made it:


First I painted the pages with shades of blue and purple. I mixed in white paint to get some different hues. 


Next I stamped this doily (a full list of the stamps I used is at the bottom of my post) and heat embossed it with white powder. So pretty ! 


I then added some stamping on the background.



Next I stamped, coloured and cut out this lady.


Here she is all finished on the page. I added some washi tape here and there, some doodles and a word that I cut out of a sentiment. 




I have used the following stamps:


Other materials :

Acrylic paints: PaperArtsy
Ice Blue, Summer Sky, Snowflake and Forget me Not. 
WOW embossing powder in white 
Archival inks in Jet Black and Deep Purple
Versafine ink - Morning mist
Copic markers

Thank you so much for stopping by today !

Sweetie

Hello everyone,

For today's project I have made a mini journal page. These are really just postcard sized pieces of paper that I stick in my journal. I really like how this one came out.


It was made with a piece of watercolour paper. I recently bought some Infusions powders and I had a play with them to create this background. I also used some white gesso to tone it down here and there. Next I added some modelling paste; this is a graphite one and it has little sparkles in it. 
I added a tiny bit of stamping and some black paint around the edges. I stamped the girl and the sentiment, matted them both on black card stock and adhered them to my panel after putting down some washi tape. 




I have used the following stamps:
