CJS 2014 - Journal Cover (art journal)

Hello!

 

Today I am uploading a picture of this journal cover I just finished.  I took advantage of a video tutorial from Creative Jump Start 2014.  The label is created using the Joint Compound idea from Dina Wakely ... that was a ton of fun!!  And I used joint compound on the whole book cover, then stamped it with a harlequin image.  Then I went to town with my Twinkling H2Os by Luminarte and a few acrylic paints.  The H2Os give it a great sparkle in real life that do not show up in this picture. 

 

Twinkling H2Os are one of my favourite products!   And there is a give away ... so I am totally crossing my fingers!!!

 

 

 

I used some grungeboard "hinges" (Ranger) that I painted dark brown and then covered with some rock candy crackle paint (Ranger).  The clock face and key hole images are from smARTworks (who I see are now closed).  You might also note a neat little addition ... snaps ... the ones you use to keep skirts closed. 

 

Well, off to play more in my art journal!

Favourite Art Project (art journal page)

 

Hello!

 

There is so much going on at Creative Jump Start 2014 (CJS) that it is hard to keep up!

 

Today I am posting some pictures of my favourite art project of 2013.  It is an art journal page I made.  It uses a few favourite things, first, my stamps.  I started out with stamps and I love them so I try to use them as often as I can in my art journaling.  Some products that are also on this page is moulding paste (you can see that on this page I stamped my stamp into some moulding paste!) and varnish (which I used to stamp the same image using the varnish ... which acted like a resist as more layers went on).   

 

 

Here is a close up of the stamp pushed into the moulding paste.

 

And here is a close up where you can see the varnish resist image .. at the bottom left and a bit in the middle right.  It has the orange colour coming through which resisted the darker blues placed over top.

 

One of my all time favourite pages using some of my favourite tools and products!  So much fun.

Okay, off to make another page.
