Creating Progress Journal Page by Fliss Goodwin

Hi
there, I have another of my Hochanda samples to share this week, this one a
page with lots of layering which is a great way to add extra interest to your
artwork.
Ingredients:
That’s Crafty! Dinky Stencils – Harlequin, Punchinella and Reverse Honeycomb
Backgrounds
PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Acrylics – Banana, Pumpkin Soup, Cherry Red, Wisteria
Recipe:
I
applied the yellow and orange paints to the background with baby wipes,
smooshing and layering the colours until I was happy with the effect.
I
next used the harlequin stencil with the wisteria paint to add a pattern on the
background – you can have fun with this as grungy is good! You don’t need to be
precise.
I
then cut various rectangles of white card and arranged them on the background
to see how they worked shape wise. Once I had a look I liked, I then coloured
the pieces by adding paints to a tray, misting it with water and dipping the
card in. Having decided on the position of the pieces prior to this, I was able
to obtain a harmonious flow of colours.
I
used the various stencils and the collage stamp with blue ink and paint to add
a pattern to the painted panels. I stamped a quote on one and stencilled create
on another. I inked all the edges and also the page edges themselves to draw
all the elements together.
I
glued the finished panels to the page, and added a butterfly from my bits box
stamped on a scrap of Gelli print paper together with some stickers from the
Tim Holtz book.
