Let it go..my Art Journal in 6 simple steps

Click the pictures to see enlarged version.

1. First I gesso(ed) the page and then did background painting with

Item No.: 320 24 - Cretacolor BIBA Gouache watercolour paints 24

I dabbed textured tissue paper on wet color to get an imprint. It gave a fantastic resist effect.

 

2. then I stenciled using TCW405 4 feathers template

3. Then I outlined using oil paint marker/ acrylic marker black and white and then embossed using

Stampendous Frantage Embossing Enamels, Aged Ivory Color

then splattered acrylic white paint

 

4. Then I stamped using Hero Arts Manuscript Background H2141 stamp and cut and paste a silhouette figure from a magazine of a women and outlined it.

 

5. Then stenciled (TCW 418s Mini halftone circles) using glass bead (Galeria Glass Beads Texture Gel) when it dries it will be transparent. Any Glass bead texture will also do.

6. Last used thickers American Craft Burlap.

 

You must be wondering why do I have a faint line at the bottom...My journal page is not 300 gsm paper so I journal on a pre cut 300 gsm paper which is a bit small for my journal book. So I have to add a piece and once work is final I paste the sheet on the journal book. This way I have all final work in one book.
