CAPTURE THE MAGIC - Art Journal Page

Hi There,
I decided to make another Art Journal page using the free stampset which came with Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine Issue 160

Its a really pretty little set and a great freebie as it also comes with a stencil (Which I used in my last post) and an embossing strip.

I started the page by stamping my image then I covered it with Pebeo Drawing Gum. When completely dry I added  an ombre wash using Spectrum Noire Aquatint 02 from the Perfectly Primary set.

 I added the ink to the top of the page then blended it with clean water to the bottom of the page. I left this to air dry then rubbed off the drawing gum with a "Mask Away" rubber.

 I coloured the flower image with Zig clean colour real brush water-colour marker pens. I then covered the image with a cloth and splattered the background with black gesso thinned with water using a fan brush.

 Later I added Viva Decor Facetten-Lack Crackling Colour paste in white using the diamond stencil by Crafter's Workshop..

 I stamped and doodled a border around the edge then stamped out the butterflies and bee stamp also included i the set and once again coloured them with the Zig markers. I adhered these to the page with Tacky Glue and then added a few words from the Tim Holtz Idea-Ology ChitChat stickers as my sentiment.

 I outlined this with a Sketch & Wash charcoal pencil and activated it with water. I also used this pencil to shade under the leaves, flowers and the butterflies.

ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS

Hello Friends,

I made a new Art Jornal page recently using the Free Stencil and Stamp Set from Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine Issue 160.

The main image was added with Structure Paste by Imagination Crafts and then coloured with Zig Clean Color Brush pens and  Starlight Paints also by Imagination Crafts.

 The Background was coloured with Tumbled Glass distress ink using a blending tool and later I smooshed some ink onto my craft mat and used a brush and some water to colour the areas I could not reach with the tool. 

 I then stamped onto the background with Brilliance Ink in White Pearle and Pearlescent Blue.

 I outlined the flower and created a sketchy border using a Faber Castell Black Pitt Pen and then added Glitz It glitter glue in gold into the centres of all of the flowers.

 I added more shading to the leaves and behind the flowers with Specrtum Noire sparkle pens and then Matted the piece onto black cardstock.

 I stamped and cut out the sentiment and adhered it to the bottom of the card.
