"Alice of Hearts" Art Journal Page 4 for Smeared & Smudged!

Howzit Everyone!
I'm still playing in the week long KICKSTART YOUR ART - Art Journal Every Day challenge and here's my j-page for Day 4!

Day 4 of KICKSTART YOUR ART
Today's Challenge:
Prompt: GROWTH
Use your imagination and interpret it however it suites you

"Alice of Hearts" Art Journal Page 4

I'm still going with my Alice in Wonderland theme...hahaha, so pleased with myself LOL ;0)
I used Smeared Ink's Alice digi image and the challenge prompt GROWTH is depicted in the enormous mushroom and scary plant life plus the fun warped text I added to her body to represent her growing small and large.  This time I printed the image out and coloured it with Copic markers then scanned it and completed my j-page in Photoshop.  I removed some areas of the image and grunged it up by adding in the black journaling lines and used the same "A" and "heart" images from my last 3 pages for continuity.  FYI, the heart is from Heart Wings digi set which is now discontinued and is available as a rubber set in the Smeared Ink Rubber Club!  Can't wait to see what ideas Friday will bring :0)

Thanks for taking this journey with me and leaving me your comments, I truly appreciate them :0)

Happy Stamping!

Thank you for all the wonderful comments you've been leaving me over the last fews days!  I'm so glad you enjoyed our first Smeared Ink Design Team blog hop and my 2 art journal pages I've created so far in the KICKSTART YOUR ART - Art Journal Every Day challenge :0)

Today's Challenge: 

Easy Found Objects Background Technique

I wasn't sure if I'd get the time to play today and the minute I thought that I knew exactly what I wanted to create!  Don't you just love how inspiration can come just from a single thought!  I'm also pretty pleased with myself coz I still managed to stay within my own theme for my Art Journal titled "Alice of Hearts" ;0)

I like to gather unusual looking leaves and twigs and stuff so for my found object background I took a photo of 3 dried palm leaves on my terracotta tiled floor with my iPhone and then applied a texture filter to it in Photoshop CS6.

My original photo

To keep my AIW theme going I used Smeared Ink's White Rabbit digi image and coloured everything in Photoshop and used the same "A" and "heart" images from my last 2 pages.  The Heart Wings digi set is discontinued and is now only available as a rubber set in the Smeared Ink Rubber Club!  Now I wonder what tomorrow's challenge will be, stay tuned ;0)

Happy Stamping!

 Tuesday's Challenge: 

PROMPT: HEARTS!
This should be easy! Use whatever supplies you want. Just include an image of a heart(s) and/or journaling about a heart(s). Easy Peasy!

 "Alice of Hearts" - Art Journal Page #2

Today's challenge inspired me to create this digital art journal page.  I've decided to stay with my Alice in Wonderland playing card theme and used Smeared Ink's Queen of Hearts digi image.  I removed all the roses and added the hearts - Heart Wings discontinued digi set which is now only available in the Smeared Ink Rubber Club!  I gave the Queen a dreamy quality and left the heart roses very stark and removed lots of the main image so that there's plenty of white areas to jot down my thoughts.

Happy Stamping!
