Using at Least Five Layers in Art Journaling...

/

Hello!!

This challenge was so much fun because I love working with many layers!  I kept it at five layers but feel I could have continued on with more...so is the nature of layering!  Have fun this week exploring multiple layers.

Have a blessed day!

1. Glue inky paper to base paper with adhesive.

2. Stitch a stack of inky paper and text papers.

3. Cut shapes out of a black tag, smudge white paint all over it and then stitch it to the paper stack.

4. Adhere paper stack to page.  Stamp marks with black and white acrylic paint.  Add marks with Stabilo pencil.

5. Finish by adding words cut from an old book. Stamp the #5 (this is an old foam stamp and I don't know who makes it) with black acrylic paint.

Repeating Elements in Art Journaling...

/

Hello!

Pattern is all around us.  Each day we see pattern in nature, consumer packaging, clothing, etc.  When using repeating elements in art journaling consider using shapes, color, words, etc.  For my design, I chose to repeat a shape by connecting it on the page.  To unify my pattern, I added handwriting inside each shape and stenciled small circles over the top.  Have fun this week exploring repeating elements.

Have a  blessed day!

Covering Up Good Stuff in Art Journaling...

/

Hello!

Sometimes it is necessary to cover up good stuff when art journaling.  In creating layers, I will often cover up elements that I really like.  I don't worry about "ruining" my page or not liking the end result.  The freedom I give myself to cover up things makes the process more enjoyable and more often than not I end up more pleased with the results.  Give yourself permission this week to cover up some good stuff and see what happens!

Have a  blessed day!

Art Challenge:  Covering up good stuff
Journal Prompt:  Going undercover

My first layer is an inky piece of newsprint that I glued to my page.  I used the Stones Divided stencil with molding paste to create the half circle shapes.  I outlined them with a black stabilo pencil and added water with a water brush to spread the color.  I also painted an oval shape with watered down black gesso.

Next, I added some white circles with a Sharpie Poster Paint Pen to the black oval and used a handmade mark making tool and white acrylic paint to create the rings.  I journaled at the bottom of the page with a black pen (this is the good stuff I plan to cover up)!

To finish my page, I stitched a tag and other elements to an inky piece of paper, added a circle sticker, stamped a feather from Rae Missigman's Natural Elements rubber stamp set to book paper, trimmed and stitched to the top.  I stitched a scrap piece of paper and glued it to the top of the black painted oval.
