Introduction to Art Journaling: day two

Hi, and welcome to our second Art Journaling day.
We talked about more messy and grungy AJ yesterday... well, here you go. Completely different style...
a lot of texture... yummy work on a page..
Gio is your host today and she's going to tell you how she achieved this.

 Spread some Claudine hellmuth gesso on the page with an old credit card.

Stamp the wet gesso with a text stamp, like one from Paperartsy HP1006

When the gesso is dry, add texture with a stencil, mine is Arlequin from Crafter Workshop, you can use gesso, or Viva Croco Paint: transparent

or DreamWeaver Crackle' paste

While your page is drying, gesso an old book page and stamp some building with BlackJet Stazon and

CraftyIndividuals CI 273 plate and Paperartsy HP1007

When the page is dry spritz it with your favourite mists, I used Cosmic Shimmer Mister: lava red , Cosmic Shimmer Mister: mango blaze and Cosmic Shimmer Mister: Teal Wash.

To highlight the texture I use several TH Distress Inks

I cut out the stamped image and glued to the page with Claudine Hellmuth multimedium Matte

I stamped some words with the Alpha stamp set from CraftySecret and Black stazon and add some

journal and doodles with a permanent black pen

To make her page, Gio used:

Artcoe Blue bell spiral cartrige book: short edge A5 

Claudine Hellmuth Studio - Kit - Mediums 

Crafty Secrets: Artsy Alphabet 

Hot Picks 1007

CI-273 - Memory lane
