I think color changes everyone’s world.

I love vintage pieces and natural patinas but, there is something fun just working with bright vibrant colors, it just makes you a different kind of happy.

Last year at Everything Scrapbook & Stamps we got the new Hero Arts Neon Daubers

Bold and bright with a sponge dauber top for easy application these inks coordinate with their stamp pads.

I made this Art Journal page with 3 of the ink colors above and allowed the inks to blend together to get some custom colors on the background. Once dry they are permanent.

The brushes were stamped onto map paper and the “world” was cut with a die.

The letters were a variety of letter stencils from the Crafters Workshop.  I used Inktense pencils to color the word “Color” and black gesso to paint the other words.  When I have black words on a page I tend to use Black Gesso as I like flat color instead of the reflective quality of most paints.

All stamp images are from Impression Obsession.

Here are some close up images of the page.
