BEAUTIFUL - Mixed Media Art Journal Page Process

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

I hope you all love this page as much as I do.... Thank you for stopping by.

Love & hugs

Love - Mixed Media Art Journal

 Hello !!! Hello !!!

This is Bela Shah and welcome to my blog Colors-n-Creations..... 
I am super excited about this post today as this one turned out totally different than i thought or imagined.... I am a person who goes with the flow , usually don't know how my project will look like but at least there's some vision.... however in this project with loads of trial n errors I made the fabulous art journal page. Only thing in my mind was that I wanna do some kind of collage .... rest all fell in its place...

 

Off lately I have been hooked on to art journaling as it gives me the freedom to play with colors, words, mediums, textures & its doesn't have to be perfect, complicated or expensive , just my space which can turn out amazing or not but in process you are bound to learn something that's for sure.

You all can give it a shot and make something unique.... For this one I primed my page, did collage or opp side of my art journal, played with texture paste and added coordinating colors to the center of my page. also added some interest by splattering black white n purple..... added the hearts as they complimented  LOVE sentiment .

 

Enjoy the pics and I hope this will inspire you to create a art journal page. Give it a shot I am sure you will be surprised at the outcome.

Thank you for stopping by ... 

Love & Hugs
