Silhouette Scenes Archives – Crafting with Ashee

Dancing in the Rain – Art Journal Page

I have a new art journal page to share with you today. This is a companion piece to my previous page which I will link below. This page is a couple dancing in the rain in the evening. My previous one was a girl swinging in the sunset.

I used our fluid 100 watercolour paper again which takes colour beautifully. Watercolour painting is very forgiving and I find soothing to the soul. I’ve used reinkers here to paint with. The colours are Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Night of Navy. They blend to create this gorgeous purple colour.

I’ve been interested in mixed media for a number of years now. Mixed media is really the application of a mixture of mediums and techniques to create an art piece. I’ve used stamping, watercolouring and stencilling here.

I love to use watercolour but also enjoy painting with acrylic paints. Unfortunately Stampin’ Up! don’t sell acrylic paints but you can mix our reinkers with gesso to create some of your own.

The stamp set I used is one fell in love with the minute I saw it, Silhouette Scenes. It comes with a matching die set as a bundle for a saving of 10% which is always good.

Here are some other similar projects

There are a video tutorial and supply list below as always.

Thank you for dropping by and I hope you enjoyed this project. Until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!

Sunset Silhouette – Art Journal Page

Today I have an art journal page featuring a sunset Silhouette to share with you, Stampin’ Up! style. This page uses the Silhouette Scenes stamps that I love. Stampin’ Up! brought out some new watercolour paper this year. This is my first time using it and it is amazing !!!

To be truthful I wasn’t sure where I was going when I started this page but I love the colours. The watercolour paper makes blending these colours a doodle. I have used So Saffron, Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie and they go together beautifully to produce this sunset silhouette page.

As with all painting and colouring, the trick is to layer colours, textures and images to achieve your overall picture. You can always add more colour but taking it away again is not so easy!!

This piece has a mixed media feel to it as I have used die cuts, stamps, ink and stencils in the piece. Mixed media art is a piece of artwork that combines various techniques, textures and mediums in one piece as in this sunset silhouette page.
