In the mist of everything going on in my life right now, I got to play in my Art Journal. This is a piece for Bloom Art Stamps.
I started as usual picking my three main colors. Purple, orange and yellow. I gesso'd the page, applied acrylic paints in the three colors above. Then I started the fun stuff! First I used white acrylic paint to a doily stencil. I decided I didn't like the intensity of the three color combo, so I added drops of Daffodil Delight reinker and spritzed water to cover the page. I then added some drips of purple distress ink spray.
Stamped some marks using Eggplant Envy (purple) and black archival ink pads and Bloom Art Stamps Elements stamp sets. I also added some marks using white acrylic paint but the yellow background kept turning the white a yellow tinge.
I printed the Daisy digi images from Bloom Arts and adhered them into the lower right corner. Then colored them using a combination of acrylic paint and markers.
I set it overnight to dry. Woke up the next morning and decided I did not like it! So instead of starting a new canvas, I covered it up with white gesso. (I'm mad at myself for not taking a photo). Then added some texture paste with a stencil and that brought up more yellow. LOVE. Then I spritzed with the same purple distress ink...LOVE.
Then went a completely different direction by stamping the pedestal and cupcake from another Bloom Arts stamp set. Paper pieces them and adhered. I added stamped script in black, washi tape to ground the pedestal and stamped and embossed a sentiment and adhered.
YUP...LOVE!
So the answer, continuous small treats!
Wow! You are so creative with mixed media. I love to see what you create.
ReplyDeleteI wish my mixed media looked good. I kind of gave up on my mixed media journal. Mine just looks messy! LOL. I haven't done
