Happy Flowers

On 12 Months in View today the art challenge was to watch a video and produce a page using the technique shown.

I started by painting my journal page with various colours of acrylic paint.

When this layer was dry I painted over it with white gesso and while it was still wet I drew into the gesso.

When the gesso was dry I drew on it with a black Sharpie and with coloured Pitt Pens.  Then I used a rub-on for the words and hearts.

Thanks for stopping by.

Passport to Art Day 23

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt.  Today's theme is about being an adult.  And the technique is to use shaving foam.

Here is today's page.

I decided to fold the pages behind today's page.

I used re-inkers with the shaving foam and took prints on cartridge paper.

The page on the left is a print I took by pressing the paper onto the page on the right before scraping off the foam.

And here's what they looked like when the foam was removed.

I took the piece on the right (above) and cut it to the size of the triangle of my page.  I put double-sided tape on to the back to make a pocket.

And stuck it down.

I inked and stamped the tag and stuck the verse onto it.  I cut up the quote and stuck that on the triangle.

The finished page.

Thanks for stopping by.

Passport to Art Day 22

If you want to join in with making an altered book through the month of July click through to the Passport to Art challenge blog.

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt.  Today's theme is Childhood and the art technique is to print with bubble wrap.

Here are the next two pages in my book.

I put a piece of masking tape across and then put a thin layer of acrylic paint.  I wasn't totally successful with the printing with the bubble wrap.  At first I painted onto the wrap but then tried putting the paint on a plate and pressing the bubble wrap into it and then onto the page.

While it was drying I inked the tag and the envelope and stamped on them.

I tried stamping more bubble wrap in darker colours to darken the page down and ended up with more!

I put some gesso through a stencil to remove some of the brightness, removed the masking tape and added the envelpe, tag, quote and verse.

It's not my favourite page!

Thanks for stopping by.
