Hello Crafty
peeps…
A cool
welcome to all of you…yes, it’s been raining past couple of days and things
around me are fresh and colorful!
Today I have
a journal page that reflects the colorful side of me (wink)! I love this quote
from paper Artsy and decided to make this the focal point…am sure all artists
will agree with this!
I have
colored the page with Faber Castell Gelatos Bubble gum, Orange Soda, Red
Cherry, Boysenberry and Limoncello…that’s a riot of colors I know…love the
bright shades!
Once the
colors are blended I created textures with stencils and gelatos in red and
blue. I also used texture paste and some random stamping. It was all about
colors, textures and layers in the page..played to my hearts content.
The left top
side, I created a tear and inserted some lovely textured handmade paper which
feels like leather. There is also a bit of net and lace peeking there all held
together with a zipper!
The focal
point is a ornate die cut which had the TCW brick texture and colored with DI
antique linen. I have tried the gesso resist technique here and so the bricks
still remain white! Beneath is the quote from PA and then comes layers of texture
using paper scraps, lace, woven mat, burlap all raised up with foam dots!
I wanted it
all on this page! Which is why the flowers are just plain simple white.
Recently I created a whole lot of flowers using the Modge mold and Plaster of
Paris and am loving these white ones…you would have seem them in my previous
projects too!
I have edged
the page with red dry pastel and then with black. The ornate corners are using
TCW stencils and texture paste. There is also some faux stitching in white and
some color splats too which bring the whole thing together.
I have to
give credit to the following mood boards and challenges that inspired me with
this riot of colors…
