Dreams by Alison Hall

Hi Everyone! I love That's Crafty's
white/greyboard art journals. They're so perfect if you're into mixed media, as
the pages are thick board that take anything. Did you see the fabulous new
sizes on Hochanda TV on Monday. I love the A4 one! Anyway, I digress. Today I'm
sharing another page of my 5x7inch journal.
Here's what I used...
DecoArt Media Mister - Red, Primary
Yellow
Here's what I did...
1. I began by using a palette knife to
spread a layer of modelling paste over my page. I applied it from the centre of
the page, so that it was a thinner application on the outer edges.
2. I used a heat gun to lightly dry the
paste, so that a skin formed, but it wasn't fully dry. Then I pressed the
Dreams stamp into the paste. I quickly cleaned off any paste that might have
got onto the stamp, then fully dried the page with my heat gun.
3. I sprayed the top of the page with
the Red mister, then sprayed with water, holding the page up to let the paint
drip. Then I added some Primary Yellow, and also sprayed that with water, until
I had the effects I wanted. I love how the misted paint falls into the dips of
the stamped texture, and highlights it.
4. Using a small round paintbrush, I
painted in the texture of the stamped word 'Dreams' with Carbon Black fluid
acrylic. I also painted in the texture of the 'x'.
5. I used Jet Black Archival ink to
partially stamp Finnabair's wire net a few times on my page. Then I added
some water to a dot of carbon black paint, and used the paintbrush to flick
some splatters on the page.
6. To finish, I sponged the edges of my
page with the Carbon Black paint.
I hope I've inspired you to get arty
today.
