Hi friends! Today I'm popping in with a little something different. I've been trying to devote some time to just playing around with my supplies without a DT requirement in mind. So I had the idea to do a loose leaf art journal, which I'll eventually top bind.
I started with a 11" x 15" sheet of watercolor cardstock, scored at 5.5". I then sprayed with Dylusions spray in pink and orange colors on one half and folded in half to sandwich the ink and spread it to the entire page. When it was dry, I cut it on the score line, so I could have two 5.5 x 7.5" pages with backgrounds done. I had this song in my head, so pulled out the Vintage Love set and embossed the radio image in black and colored with Zig clean color real brush markers. This is fussy cut to add to the page later. While I was at it, I embossed some of the flowers from the set in white on a scrap of paper that had been sprayed with the same colors. These are fussy cut as well.
I added a little background texture with the music note stamps, and the sheet music image from Texture Tiles 1. Next I added some stenciled accents with molding paste and black glimmer paste, making sure to leave room for the song lyrics. I used a mixture of a bunch of alpha stamp sets to create the words, then added some white gel pen accents to make them pop.
Finally I added my fussy cut pieces and used a gelato and a bit of white gesso to add some random texture and to edge my journal page. This was super fun, and I'm sure there will be more to come.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous day!
