Journal Page

Hello everyone,

We're back today with a great tutorial and inspiration for the ongoing challenge.

Today we'll take you through the process of creating a journal page.

First prep the page with white gesso.

Next, use a stencil with modelling paste. We focused on the opposite corners.  

We then used another stencil with the same paste for added texture.

Next, sprinkle some magicals and shaker powders and spritz them with water. 

Then layers all your elements and stick them.

Mix a little black gesso with water and add splatter. Use a cap to add some circles on the page with the same gesso.

Here is the completed journal page. 

Hope you're inspired!

Looking forward to seeing your creations!

We now have a facebook group for these challenges, so make sure to drop by there- https://www.facebook.com/groups/248263305651352/

HAPPY NEW YEAR Art Journal

Hello everyone, thank you for stopping by! Ann here today and show you the tutorial of my art journal page. I'm so delighted to be on the Mixed Media Mojo Design Team! Thank you Maria & my other teammates for this wonderful opportunity and look forward to growing in my craft while working alongside these talented artists. I made my Happy New Year art journal page for our current NEW with the twist of Clocks challenge. Hope you will enjoy seeing it.

I've a few step out photos on how I made it, enjoy!

To get started, I cover the page with Gesso. Painted the whole page with Acrylic Paints. Let it dry. I used a sponge to apply Inka gold over my stencil.

Applied black ink through stencil across the bottom of page and allow to dry. Stamped sentiments with StazOn White ink. Driped with Acrylic Paint.

I die cutted a bunch of alphabet letters and numbers. I layered four of each letter together for some dimension. Then painted them using Acrylic Paints.

The Clock was die cut from some milk paper and painted with Acrylic Paints , dabbed with Ceramic Stucco, then embossed with Ranger Watering Can embossing powder.

I then adhered the clock, alphabets and numbers onto the page to spell HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017.

Hope you have enjoyed my quick little tutorial. 

I hope this inspires you to join in our January Challenge. I can't wait to see what you create.

Thanks again for stopping by today and happy creating!

Turn Turn Turn Art Journal Page

Hello everyone, thank you for stopping by!  Deb here today and since it is Monday that means it's time for a new art journal page.  I made my Turn Turn Turn art journal page to incorporate some of the metallic leaves I didn't use on my first project this month for our Autumn with the twist of Metallics challenge.

I've a few step out photos on how I made it, enjoy!

I started out with a single page from my art journal (which I have had to take apart since it was getting to thick to close, I can't stop adding embellishments!).  I stamped the page with Tim Holtz's new Pine background stamp and Tree Branch Archival ink and then coloured the page with Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap Distress stain.

The word TURN was stamped several times on the page with Ground Espresso Archival ink and I then spattered the whole page with diluted white, orange and brown acrylic paints.

I die cut the Bird Branch die from some crackled cardstock I had in my stash from another project.  I cut the bird off and saved him for a rainy day!

The branch was a little too pale for my design so I coloured it first with Ground Espresso Distress stain and then intensified the colours here and there with Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo Distress crayons.

The Weathered Clock was die cut from some chipboard packaging and embossed with Burnt Copper Leaves embossing powder.  Love this embossing powder!

And then the page was assembled.  I made a tag by painting a piece of cardstock with Frayed Burlap Distress paint and then running it through my printer to print the sentiment (the font is called Beyond Wonderland).

The tag shape was cut out and some oak leaves were punched from a remnant of Distress ink coloured cardstock with a couple of Recollections punches.  The edges of the tag were edged with some gold Decofoil.

The leaves are Ranger Foil tape mounted onto cardstock, die cut with the Layered Leaf

and Arbor dies and then coloured with alcohol inks.

Here's a close up of the Pine background and spatters, such an easy way to get some texture and interest on your background.

I hope that you've enjoyed seeing my Turn Turn Turn art journal page, I really enjoyed making it and was humming The Byrds song the entire time I was putting it together.

You still have plenty of time to enter our November challenge so hope you will head into your craft space and make something to link up.  I can't wait to see it, happy creating!
