Art Journal Page - HOPE

Hello!

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is a very interesting one this week - No Stamps Allowed.

For my journal page I created the background using gelatos, lots of stenciling with modelling paste & archival inks. The hydrangeas are fussy cut from pattern papers & so is the quote. The black  flowers & motifs are rub ons.

Sharing this at the following challenges -

Art Journal page with Gelatos

Hello Friends!

Its not a card today but an art journal page that I'm sharing today. The current mixed media & art journal trend is catching up on me too & I went crazy with my gelatos & inks to make this very vibrant page!

I tried the baby wipe technique with gelatos, the one I used to make the bookmarks I shared a while ago. I also have a tutorial for this on the Lulupu blog here. 

Had a lot of fun stamping & stenciling on this page to create layers & textures!

Mixed Media Journal

Hey lovely ladies!

Very delighted to share my first try at art journaling. I actively participate in the Friendship Swap organised by Riti & this time round the theme was to create the cover for an art journal, here is the altered journal cover I made - 

The sentiment is from a print ad & I think it was apt for the journal cover.

Used a coordinating pattern paper for the back - 

The spine -

Closer look at the details, plenty of colors, textures, stamping, stenciling, washi tape, rub ons, gesso, texture paste here -
