Sitting on the Dock in the Bay - June Technique Junkies Blog Hop

Good Morning and Happy June, Junkies!!  It's officially Summer (well for our purposes anyway) and the Technique Junkies team is hosting a blog hop to share all the new exciting June Releases with you.  Now that it's nice and warm, with those sunny days you expect, we can turn our minds to the thoughts of water, sun, and fun!  As always, Technique Junkies Stamps is right there with you celebrating the important things in life with wonderful new images and just the right kind of sentiments.  So join us today as we hop into June and showcase all the new goodies.  Don't forget to to visit each team members blog in order not to miss any of the fun.  If you  haven’t started at the beginning, please visit the Technique Junkie Designer Blog (http://techniquejunkies.blogspot.com) so you are sure to catch it all!

You've just seen Judy Jackson's project and isn't her work just awesome?!?!  I love her use of color whether is be mists, paints, or ink.  She's truly amazing.

Here is the hop participants in order:


My art journal spread features two of the new releases for June, Old Pier S622 & Winds of Change SD621.



I started out by stamping Old Pier S622 onto both pages of my journal.  I then used Art Anthology Waimea Bay and Ink Spot Colorations to color in water.


For the clouds, I drew cloud shapes and then filled in with copious amount of Art Anthology Cotton Velvet mixed with a little Aloha Velvet so the cloud would look "fluffy".  The sky was colored with Art Anthology Glorious Colorations and a wash of Cotton Velvet and Waimea Bay Colorations.



Finally, I painted a few seagulls with Art Anthology Cotton and Tuxedo Velvets and scattered them across my pages.  The sentiment is Winds of Change SD621.

Love the new June releases?  Well they are currently on sale for 15% off through next week!   Go to http://techniquejunkies.com/click on New Stamps, then on June 2015 Releases.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughts in my comments section.  I truly love hearing what you have to say!  You are now ready for the next stop on our June Releases Hop ---Kathy Stacy!  Why don't you drop by her blog and see what she has in store for you!

Until later,
