Good morning everyone!
I hope that christmas and the new year have been kind to you and that you have all enjoyed a lovely break and got to have a holiday or two.
Today I would like to share the makings of my art journal page - It is more of a dream page as I have not been away on holidays this christmas time.
Here is a reminder of the moodboard for the current challenge which runs til 14th February
I have taken inspiration from the bottom right van and the colours in the board
I began with my art journal and painted one side green and one side blue - at this point I had no idea where I was going but had recently seen the process of using a stencil and pulling the paint up from the page through the stencil using a baby wipe and thought that is where I will start.
So i painted my page using Dylusion paint and before it dried I placed the stencil over the top and pulled the paint by gently wiping with a babywipe.
I did the same with the blue Dylusions paint.
I used two different stencils on the blue page - kind of to get the image of roads with the bottom stencil
Once that was dry I then used White Dylusion paint and a brayer to tone it all down a bit
While it was drying I sat down to read my latest copy of Daphnes Diary magazine and there was a colouring in page of a van - immediately I knew that I wanted to have this as my focal point and began colouring it in with colouring in pencils.
I then stamped Paper Artsy Stamps (I know they were last months challenge but I love them so much and use them over and over again - great investment!) onto watercolour paper and coloured them with Dina Wakley Media Scribble Sticks and fussy cut them out.
I them began to assemble my page and sort out where I wanted everything to go
Once I was happy with the placement, I then glued them all into place using Finnabair 3D Matte Gel (another essential item in my stash!)
At this point I also applied some dimensional magic to the butterfly to make it stand out.
Once the gel was dry, I have used a big brush Pitt pen in black and green to outline and create shadows around the images. I didnt think they had "popped" enough so it was time to do some doodling with sharpies.
Once I had finished doodling I was happy - the page was complete - oh no I forgot the title. "Holiday Time in thickers was added and now we were complete - phew - there was alot of colouring in and fussy cutting!!!!!!
Here are some close ups:
