Art Journal Cover - Treasured Memory

Hello all crafty People 

How Are you ??

Today I am sharing one of my fav projects till now which is an altered art journal cover with You all 

This one I have made in a typical Mixed media style where I have used small knick knack which I found in my house. I would like to call this project as a #trashtotreasure one …

As for the process 

1. First of all I have painted the whole cover with black Gesso to prepare the base 

2. After that I created the background with Doing the stenciling part with the help of texture paste 

3. Also Adhered all the elements like burlap, Some random MDF cutout, Scrap toy pieces, Some art stones and few paper flowers to complete the composition. 

4. Next step was to paint the whole composition in black with black Gesso again 

Also I added few more elements like a #treasuredmemory sentiment and some chipboard cutout later on. 

5. Last step was to do the Dry brushing technique with the help of metallic colours in Teal, blue and Golden to finish the project. 

Sharing some final pictures with you all 

Do let me know your thoughts about the project would love to know as its my first try for this kind of Mixed media project. 

Thanks and Love

Hello all creative people …

This is Shweta and thank you all to stop and look over my blog post 

Today I am sharing a page of my Art Journal with you all 

So the steps to create this art journal is as follow

1. Prime the Journal page with a white gesso 

2. Used Itsybitsy Stencil with texture paste from camel to make texture on either side of the journal 

3. After drying, took watercolor in blue and brown to create that texture background. 

4. After this layer is dry … took a  Mudra stamp named vintage flourishes to mark the stampings on the outer edge of the journal page ...randomly. 

5. Also used Hexa stamp from Mudra  here and there to create a honey comb effect. 

6. Lastly used Script stamp with brown Archival Ink from Ranger to complete the background 

7. Now comes the turn to put embellishments so adhered a vintage clock stamp with foam tape, also put sentiment in the middle of the page, lastly completed the look with adhereing Jute flower from Itsy Bitsy, a little wooden bird cage and few paper foilage to go with it.
