I am so honored to be guest posting today. I am a mommy to three little people and a wife to a wonderful man. When I am not doing mommy stuff I can be found reading or in my craft area art journaling and sewing pretty clothes for my daughter. I have been creating with paper and paint ever since I was little but just recently found art journaling .
To begin, I chose three stencils to collage together in the background.
Using grunge paste, I stenciled my background being careful to make placement appear random.
Two colours of paint were added over the background once the grunge paste was dry.
To apply the embossing paste to specific areas I dabbed my finger in embossing ink and rubbed the ink over the textured areas. Gold embossing powder was sprinkled on and heated.
Golden Sands Infusions was sprinkled, sprayed with water for activation and dried with a heat gun.
Violetia Infusions was sprinkled, sprayed with water and dried with a heat gun.
I stamped with a Japanese wave stamp.
A white out pen was used to embellish the hand and doodle around the edges of the layout.
Next I added fibers, chipboard pieces and a stamped image as my focal point. Black paint and gesso were splattered to complete the layout.
A huge thank you to Kate for sharing this fabulous journal page with us. You still have plenty of time to join in with the current challenge, Off to Collage.
