Art Journal Page

Hi there

Today I am sharing my latest art journal page.

I have used two pages from my Happy Planner notebook.

I have glued them together and given one side of the page a coat of white Gesso

To colour the background I have applied Gelatos and blended them using my finger.

I have used 

Lemon

Gold Champagne

Tangerine 

and Grape

My next layer is random stamping with StayzOn Jet Black Ink 

and a background stamp that I don't know the name or brand of.

You can see the stamp in the video if you are interested to see what it looks like

Next layer for the background is Modelling/Texture Paste through a Mandala stencil

To create the hearts I applied Paper Mill Alcohol Inks to a sheet of Gloss Photo paper 

and used my air puffer to move the ink around.

The inks I used are

Lemon Yellow Shimmer

Burnt Orange Metallic

Silver Metallic

Gold Metallic

Rolling Waters Metallic

Purple Sequin Metallic

Silvery Metallic

and Penny Loafer Metallic

Once the inks were dry I used my Cutterbee scissors 

to cut an assortment of sizes of heart shapes from the card.

These were attached to my page using Matt Medium, being careful 

not to smudge the background, as I had not sealed it.

Watered down white acrylic paint was splattered all overt the page next

I drew a sketchy line just inside the edge of each of the hearts 

and a scalloped decorative border around the outside of each heart.

A sketchy boarder was also added to the edges of the page.

The quote is from the internet, I printed it onto copier paper,

trimmed it and added it to the page using Art Glitter glue.

I used my black Fudeball pen to draw a sketchy border around the quote.

Live your best Life Art Journal page

Hello, hello

Welcome to my blog today where I want to show you an art journal page I have just completed.

I used Gelatos to colour the background. The colours I used are

Lemon, Red Cherry, Tangerine, Gold Champagne and Butter Cream

Once the colours were dry I gave my page a coat of Boyle Matt Spray

to seal it so the colours would not move when I added any other mediums.

I cut the circles from both white and black cardstock using Kaisercraft DD942 Stitched Circle Die.

I used pearl acrylic paints to colour the circles.

I gave each circle a couple of coats of a light colour 

then shaded around the edges with a darker tone of the same colour.

The colours I used are Duncan brand pearl acrylics

Lemon Drop, Powder Blue, Sparkling Sapphire, Bright Turquoise, Golden Aqua, Golden Lime, Golden Turquoise, and Green

I also used Folk Art Metallic Pure Gold

I stencilled onto the background using a 13@rts broken circles stencil.

Firstly I used Duncan Natural Texture (gritty paste) in Pumpkin

then Duncan Pearl White acrylic paint.

The stamping on the background is done with Archival Jet Black Ink 

and an assortment of circle stamps.

One of the stamps is Kaisercraft's Stains stamp set 

and the other two are unknown brands.

I used my black Stabilo All pencil and a wet brush to shade around each of the circles 

before giving them a scribbly border using slightly watered down

 black acrylic paint in a Fineliner bottle.

The same bottle of paint was used to draw a scribbly border around the page.

I gave each of the circles a highlight using a flat brush and some watered down white acrylic paint.

The same watered down paint was used with my fan brush to add a good amount of splatters to my page.

The quote has been stamped using Tim Holtz Cling foam stamps from the block lower alphas set.

The centre part of the quote was printed using my Brother PTouch label maker.

There is a lot of texture and shine on this page.

Here is my process video for you to check out

As always, thanks for spending part of your day here with me today

Till next time

Stay safe,

Whimsical Work Art Journal Page

Hello hello

Today I have got a quick post to share an Art Journal page I created.

I have not done any art journalling for a while and I was just in the mood for a bit of painty stuff.

I wanted to create something that had a bold contrast between the background 

and the focal point and this is what happened.

The background is acrylic paint. 

I worked on my silicon mat so I would have an easy clean up

I used Creative PL Cobalt Blue and Mont Marte Purple for the first layer. 

These were applied using a damp brush

Once that layer was dry I applied Creative Pl Ultramarine Deep and Purple Lake acrylic paints. 

I used a sponge to apply this layer giving me a lovely bumpy texture.

I used a scribbly circle stamp and the Cobalt Blue acrylic paint to stamp randomly over the page.

The focal point was created using a stencil from Anco and Viva Inca-Gold.

I have had the Inca-Gold for a very long time and it is very thick

but I was still able to push it through the stencil using my palette knife.

I added the motif to the top right and bottom left of the page.

To add a little lightness to the page I splattered some watered down 

white acrylic paint through the centre of the page, 

trying to avoid the gold sections as best as possible.

I used my domed blending tool to apply Archival Jet Black ink around the outside of the page.

The quote for the page came from Art by Marlene's Artsy Arabia black & white sticky quotes.

I attached the quote to the page with glue and drew a border around 

the quote and the page using my white Posca paint pen 0.7mm

Here is my process video
