Introduction to Art Journaling: day four

Hi, 
Today we have another mixed media type page, and a seasonal one too. 
Isa'sArt (and her little helper Zoé) used die cuts, paints and inks to make this Art Journal page. 
What do you think? 



She started her page by glue some old book pages with Decopatch which will seal the paper as gesso would and then cut out her baubles from recycled cardboard (milk/juice bottle).
She then painted (with Americana paints) and inked (Distress) over.
The snow effect was done with white paint and an old brush.


The snow on the house and the bird is done with gesso + Stickles Glitter glue
The pages were torn with a distressing tools (or can be done with scissors)
She also added  a lot of glitter, but unfortunately, it does not show on the pictures.


 Little Zoé (Isa's kitten) is keeping an eye on the bird house... Just in case a bird would pop out LOL




Distress inks : Walnut + Stain walnut and antique linen
Cosmic shimmer misters : candy pink - bronze
Americana acrylic paints: white - burnt umber - burnt sienna - indian turquoise - alizarin crimson
Stickles : Star dust - Fruit Punch - frosted lace - 
Sizzix Bigz Die - BirdhouseTH Caged bird - TH tag
KATZELKRAFT stamps : Wonderland 


We will be back tomorrow with more Art Journaling. 
See you then

  3. I love those die cuts! The whole effect is so rich and now I'm getting the idea about journalling. I used to dislike the ide of taking a book and 'altering' it. We were taught not to draw in our books and the whole ethos was wrong to me! ha-ha! However journally looks like a way to really let your creative juices flow without restrctions of a card etc. Mmmm..liking this a lot! TFS!

  6. I have seen lovely pages the last four days. Would I do an Art Journal ? Unlikely, but it doesn't matter I can take inspiration or techniques from those pages and use them on backgrounds I make for scrapbooking or cards.
