Art Journal Page – Jacaranda Tree with Lindy’s Stamp Gang & Ranger Products

I know that summer has arrived when the streets in Johannesburg are lined in purple! I was inspired by all the flowering Jacaranda trees.  I grabbed some supplies in purples, greens and browns and started playing!

BACKGROUND:

I used Dylusions Spray Inks in Crushed Grape, Cut Grass and Melted chocolate and then covered the page with Tim Holtz Idea-ology Tissue Wrap.  I used Heritage Craft 3D Crystal Acrylic Glass and a stencil to create some texture and used Lindy’s Stamp Gang Moon shadow Mist (Van Dyke Sepia), Starburst (Jazzy Jivin’’Purple) and Magicals (Jack in the Pulpit Teal) to add some bling. 

FOCAL POINT:

My Jacaranda tree – I draw the rough outline with Inktense pencils and used Heritage Crafts Acrylic paints and Distress Paints to paint the tree.  

I used some cardboard letters for my title and covered it with Lindy Stamp Gang Embossing powder (Midnight Ruby Obsidian).

FINISHING TOUCHES:

I created some depth with Faber-Castell Big Brush pens as well as my white Sharpie Paint Pen. I did my journaling with my Pitt Artist black pen. I added some Distress Stains and sprayed it with water to create some drips running down the page.
