Cool Colours Journal page

 

Hi There! Here is a journal page I put together over the weekend. I thought you might like to see how it came together. 

I began by adding some blobs of Dylusions paints along the page edge and sprayed with water whilst the page was tilted to encourage it to run. 

Once this was dry I stamped bits of the script stamp in versafine clair blue belle ink over the page randomly. This is easier to do with the stamp off the acrylic block and a small area inked up. 

I sprayed a little salvaged patina distress oxide spray by the side of the paint, added a little water and let that run in the same way, blotting in a few places where it had pooled. This was left to dry

Next I took one of the tag inkables from set 4 and added grit paste through it over the painted area of the page.

Once this was dry I gently rubbed a little gilding wax over it. 

I stamped some freehand borders and journaling essentials  onto stamping tissue using the blue ink.

I stamped the words in black ink onto tissue too

Finally I added these elements to the page using matte medium.

Here is the page again.

I used:

Dina Wakeley 6x6 white journal

Dylusions paints in Blue lagoon, London blue, Periwinkle and Crushed grape

Script background stamp

Distress Oxide spray in Salvaged Patina

Tag inkables set 4

Grit paste - there is a translucent and an opaque version. I used Translucent

Glad you are here journal pages

 

Hi There! thought I would show you how I made these journal pages for my blog post today. 

I began by spreading dylusions paint with my fingers over the two pages.

I gave it a little dry with a heat tool then sponged through a couple of tag inkables using white gesso

I set this aside then stamped the doodle Art mandalas onto stamping tissue using Monarch versafine clair ink. I cut them out and added them to the page using Matte Medium

Next I mixed a little gold mica powder with some water on a piece of acetate and smooshed and blobbed it onto the page, leaving it to dry. 

I stamped the doodle art dragonfly twice on to stamping tissue and twice onto some mixed media paper. I cut them all out and coloured the mixed media paper ones using pencil crayons.

I stamped the mixed messages sentiment onto stamping tissue and cut it out

Back in the journal I stamped a few of the worker stamps from the dragonfly set using embossing ink, then heat embossed with detail gold powder.

Finally I added the sentiment and dragonflies to the page, positioning the coloured dragonflies over the tissue ones to replace the legs and dots I cut off when I cut them out.

Here is the finished page once more.

I used:

Dylusions mini journal

Dylusions paints in Blue lagoon, laidback lilac and peony blush

White gesso

Tag inkables set 1 and 3

Doodle art Mandalas set 2

Gold mica powder

Doodle Art Dragonfly

Stamping tissue

Versafine clair in Monarch and Nocturne

Embossing ink

Detail gold embossing powder

Matte Medium

I will be live over on the Bee Crafty Facebook page at 8pm tomorrow, so I hope you will join me.

Thanks for looking!

Dreamy Dragonflies

Hi There! I am here with a journal page I created for a class recently. Here is how I made it. 
 

i began by giving the page a coat of  white gesso, then added some Dylusions paint with a wet brush, spraying with a little water to get a more pastel effect.

Next I stamped some of the Doodle Art Mandala stamps onto stamping tissue using Versafine Clair ink

I cut them out and added them to the page using matte medium.

Using the circles Big one inkable and peacock Feathers distress ink I added a bit of stencilling to the background.

I stamped the Script background stamp onto stamping tissue using versafine clair ink and tore it into pieces, adding them around the page with more matte medium. 

I did the same with the dotty circle stamp.

I had some doodle art dragonflies that I had coloured in with pastel ecolines  and cut out. I added them to the page along with the ticker tape sentiment stamped on to white card with black ink. A splatter of white paint and some faux stitching with a posca pen finished it off.

Here is the finished page again. 

I used:

White gesso

Dylusions paint in Peony Blush, Lemon Zest and Blue Lagoon

Doodle Art mandalas #2 stamp set

Journal Art Elements #3 stamp set

script background stamp
