Art Journal Page - 'Innocence Found'

I'm on a bit of a gold leaf roll at the moment! Here I've used the swan element from Sissy Sparrow's 'The Paper Swan' kit, plus the usual Dylusions ink sprays, spritzing, flicking and straw blowing.   My youngest daughter Ella, is the model for this layout!

**New** Mixed Media Backgrounds

I thoroughly enjoyed creating these backgrounds,

to be able to just let loose and have fun - priceless.

I didn't have to wonder how I was going to finish the page -

that's for you to do!

 

I've used a multitude of different products, sizes and techniques.  

I've dived into my collection of different text pages, created my own stencils,

dragged out my sewing machine and glued, spritzed, inked and

sewn like never before!!

 

These are one-off backgrounds that can be included in your art journal,

cut down to create ATC's or tags, punched, added to and built upon.

 

  By the way - we ALL want to see what you do with them!  

'Fall in Love' - Art Journal

Thank gawd for gesso! This page started out completely different, colours, stencil, direction, everything. And I was stuck but good. So after days of dilly dallying and not being happy with it, I thought; bugger this, just gesso over and start again and BAM! done.   Goes to show when you try to force it, it never works, as soon as you loosen up a little and let it flow - bingo!!
