Congrats Valarie!!

This is what Valarie had to say about her piece...

"I used my own central image and then used Nancy's bits and pieces throughout although I chopped and altered many of them. Hmmm...is that cheating?"

LOL

Pens I use...Lettering/Text...Supplies

Pens I use for Art Journaling!!

Faber-Castell Pitt brush pens

Micron- black #01, #03 and #05

Assorted Permanent Markers

Pilot V Ball Grip-Extra fine

And your everyday standard ol' ballpoint pen

I have heard it is not good to use ball point pens due to their

acidy ink! But then ask me if I follow the rules! LOL

Crayons!!

Caran de Ache watersoluable crayons!!

Try scribbling circles or favorite shapes and then

using a contrasting color scribble in the remainder of the page..

Use a baby wipe or slightly damp paint brush

starting with the circles first then go about finishing the contrasting

color (with wipe or damp paint brush)

Oil pastels!!

I use these to outline collage elements and can also be worked into the

page buy rubbing!

Lettering/Text!!

There is a variety of stencils available to you!

How about using a label maker!! They have

many refill colors!!

Acrylic Stamps!!

Need I say more! hee hee

Rubber Stamps!!

So many styles to choose from!!

Inks too!! :O)

Creating your own text/lettering!!

Ahhh there is that evil ball point pen again! LOL

Do an outline of your letters...then

Then you can give your letters a shadow

using a pitt brush pen or

even a permanent marker!

Then fill in the letters if you choose to do so with

pittbrush pens or Caran de ache crayons (is what I mostly use)

If this post looks a little wonkie...you can blame blogger!! This is the second attempt at

try to post this! arghh! lol

Now! Let's here from you!! What supplies do you use in your art journals etc???

Much love and hugs!!

Nance
