#136 Man cave challenge at Lost Coast designs

Hello stamp friends.

Today an artjournal page.

I chose the boxer stamp for this, because it fits so well into the "man cave" theme.

I worked on Terschelling 300 gram watercolor paper 24x30cm.

This paper has a rough structure and absorbs a lot of water.

And that is necessary because we are going to work with Brusho.

What materials I used:

stamps:

Boxer 

 Checker board rustic border 

Pieces of architecture 

 pieces of calligraphy 

Ledger.

Carmen's Veranda Stamp: Once a Badass.

Further materials

Stencil: numbers - arrow - chevron.

Brusho - Orange - Leaf green - Yellow Ocre - Turquoise.

Stazon Timber brown.

Posca pen white.

Black pencil.

Skin colored marker.

White acrylic paint.

Thin paper to stamp the boxer on.

We are going to start with the design of the stamps for the background.

Let the stazon ink dry well.

Spray plenty of water on the paper.

Sprinkle small amounts of brusho on the water as you see fit.

Do this very carefully, because brusho is a true color explosion.

Think of it like this, better to sprinkle two or three times than too much at once.

See for yourself whether water needs to be added or whether it should be dabbed off.

With a stencil and white acrylic paint you sponge the numbers, arrow and chevron.

With a spatula you make 2 x wipes with white acrylic paint.

When its dry you can stamp the badass stamp on the paint.

Now only finishing, with the posca pen some lines around the stamps,

 and give the checkerd border  white blocks. 

Use the black pencil to outline the arrow, chevron and numbers.

And give the boxer some shade with the black pencil.

And then you're done, I hope you enjoyed this step by step.
