Love and Peace

Hi everyone, I've been playing with another art journal page, but remember these techniques could be used on a card or layout just as easily.

I prepared my page using gesso and allowed to dry, then used Colour Spays and Shimmer Mist Sprays to created background colour and patterns.

Draw a large heart and paint outside it with opaque paints (yes, you cover some of your work!)  I used Fire Engine and Bling Colour Paste through a stencil to add patterns.

Mix various Colour Shimmer Dusts with gel medium or texture pastes and use through other stencils.

Keep adding patterns and textures, have fun!

I added Snow White Colour Paste through a bubble stencil, and drew some accents with a white journal pen.

The completed page and some close ups.  (Wish I could capture the sparkle in photos.) 

Thank for visiting,

happy scrapping,

Tina

Playing with colour

Hi everyone!

Had lots of fun creating this.  It started out as a plain sheet of white cardstock.  Would you like to know how I did it?

Start by positioning your photos and adhere a few pieces of white cardstock.  Put photos aside and lay a stencil over your page.  Apply texture paste with a palette knife and then while still wet, spread Colour Paste in Bling, Tangerine Dream, and Fire Engine (i found doing this part with your fingers allowed greater control and I was able to create a nice fading effect in places)

Once dry spray Shimmer Mists were sprayed and dripped.  Chipboard pieces were either sprayed or embossed, and the Kutalicious acetate 'fence' was heat embossed (love that these products can be used on so many different bases).  Something else to note is that you get different effects, dependent on the colour of the item you are embossing, how cool is that???

 Lots of layered piece for interest, I love the contrast between the subtlety of the Shimmer Spray with the intense colour and shine of the Colour Pastes.  

I added a bit of stamping using Stazon, don't you love how it turned out? 

Happy scrapping,

Tina
