Fresh Air by Rikki G

  Good evening how are you all? Busy, busy here myself with getting creative and also prepping for an up and coming retreat, let me tell you my fingers are burnt from the hot glue.

So today I am sharing with you one of my processes when it comes to working out my mixed media backgrounds. 

I work and play in my art journal.....

My art journals tend to be where I work out colour combos, techniques and other things before I start playing with my scrap pages, especially when  I am lacking ideas, or not to sure how it will work out.

So then my art journals become a how to guide so I dont forget how I did it.

This is also a good time to crack out the old washi tapes and add them into your backgrounds, who doesnt love washi tapes.

When you layer your inks you end up with a nice Bokeh effect.

Adding some fussy cutting pieces you can create a finished journal page.

Its all about the layers, washi, stamping , inking, stenciling, splatting ink, and ephemera.

So why dont you create your own journal as a go to guide.

LOVE THIS! Art Journal page by Linda Pearson

Hi Bee Arty friends! 

Today I have created another art journal page, this time using the upcoming new collection ‘Chit Chat’ designed by the talented Tanya Froud.  

This page could easily be adapted to become a photo layout for scrapbooking.

-      People Metal Die
-      Love sentiment from cut out sheet
-      Marked A6 Stencil
-      White Cardstock 350gsm
 
Other products used:
-      Fiber Paste (could SUB texture paste or modelling paste)
-      Violet acrylic paint
-      Turquoise Foil Card
-      Black string

-      Fine black pen permanent

Alpha cardstock paper from the Chit Chat collection designed by Tanya Froud, I cut this sheet down to suit my A4 journal.
 
 
 
 
Mix the violet paint into the fiber paste (or texture/modelling paste) then apply through the Linear A4 Stencil (Chit Chat collection).  All to dry.
 
 

     

   
 
Apply borders to the page edges using violet paint with an old credit card or palette knife.
Add random lines around the page again using the violet paint and credit card.
 
 
 
 
 
Add random stamping using the Marked A6 stamp around the page with a blending tool and black archival ink.
 
 
 
Run the People Metal Die through a die-cut machine using the turquoise foil card card.  Keep the heart and the cut out of people card.(set aside the people for another project)
 
 
 
 
 
 
Using an off-cut of White Cardstock 350gsm, paint the off cut with violet acrylic paint.  Dry off.  Cut the violet card slightly larger than the foil cut out shape. 
Adhere the foil to the violet card.
Add black spatters around the page over the stencilled paste as well.
Cut out the LOVE word from the cut out sheet in the ‘Chit Chat’ collection by Tanya Froud.
Add the LOVE word to the foil card using mounting tape.  Then add mounting tape to the back of the card to adhere to the page.
Mount the three foil card hearts to the stencilled area at the top right part of the page.  Outline the hearts in black pen.
 
 

 
I had some fun creating with new and fresh range of papers, stamps and stencils and you can too when this new collection becomes available around the middle of October.  Click on the link below to pre order your kit today.
