"Alice of Hearts" Art Journal Page 3 for Smeared & Smudged!

Howzit Everyone!
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)

Now for Day 3 of KICKSTART YOUR ART!

"Alice of Hearts" - Art Journal Page 3
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!

  4. I am not a fan of digital art. However, I really enjoy your piece here. The use of the bunny and words in the clock are unexpected but go so well on it. The palms in the background add dimension yet anchor it for me. I don't know I just really like it. You got mad skills!
