Hello ,
I hope you all are doing good !!!
This is Bela and today I am here to share a beautiful and vibrant art journal page with you all....
Thank you all for liking my previous art journal pages and all the lovely comments. This surely motivates me to do more... Also let me know in the comments section if you would like me to make a video tutorial.
As of now I am using a archival journal with 400 gsm cold pressed paper. This page is very thick and I don't have to worry about the paint or my colors bleeding onto the next page.
For this Page first I added a vibrant fushia pink and orange with a sponge roller onto my page. the page was totally covered with the paint without leaving any white. I took white gesso on the sponge and dabbed onto the stencil . once white gesso was dry then I dabbed golden paint onto the stencil . basically white gesso was used to bring out the gold. the stenciling can be seen clearly in the picture below.
After I was happy with the way my page looked I took a beautiful vibrant tissue from my stash which had these huge orange flowers. I adhered the tissue using decoupage glue. I purposely adhered the tissue in such a way that there would be wrinkles. I love the texture they give and it adds little more interest to my page.once it was dry I stamped the script stamp with black archival ink to left and right edge of the paper. Also I used texture paste to add some script to the center of the page and some here and there. Also after this white texture paste was dry. I dry brushed gold acrylic paint onto the script texture.
I stamped the sentiment beautiful at couple of places on the page and also filled up the negative space to give the bold font.
last but not the least I distressed the edges of my page with black archival to give it more depth and definition.
I absolutely loved the way this page turned out . Vibrant background with almost same colored flowers... stenciling, flowers, stamping everything complimenting each other and making the art journal page so BEAUTIFUL
some more close ups....
I hope you all love this page as much as I do.... Thank you for stopping by.
Love & hugs
