Steampunk Art Journal I Tutorial I Mixed Media I Sunila Mahajan

 Hello Bee Arty Lovelies,

Hope you are all doing well! Today, I'm sharing a pictorial with you all. I'm creating a steampunk vibe journal page in my art journal . 

Here's a look at the page:

Let's dive right in into creating this!

Step 1- Choose a stencil and apply colour paste through it. This instantly adds colour and texture to the page. On such a page I usually like to have a big composition on one part of the page and little cluster opposite that. That's how I decide where I want the texture to begin within.

Step 2- To add more texture, pick a background stamp and stamp with ink. Now black ink always works, however since I had a steampunk page in mind, I used brown ink.

Step 3- Choose dies that'll go with the theme of the page, and die cut these to add as embellishments and layers to create the composition clusters.

Step 4- Fussy cut elements from the paper collection to go with the theme, and start arranging the elements to form the two clusters.

Step 5- As always, add words/phrases to add meaning to the page. I also added splatter with mica powders mixed with water and Artist Inks.

Here are some close ups of the completed page:
