Live... Dream... by Alison Hall
00:00
Hello Crafters! It's Alison here today,
with another of my large journal pages that I made for Hochanda.
Here's what I used...
That's Crafty! Surfaces White/Greyboard Journals - A4, 3x5 ins
DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic -
Cobalt Teal Hue, Green Gold, Carbon Black
That's Crafty! Word Series Stencils -
Live, Dream
That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils -
Dragonfly Flight, Believe, Numbers
That's Crafty! Clear Stamp Sets -
Serenity Collection - Fleur
From my stash - A contrasting Gelli Plate print (or you could use patterned paper), Orange Posca Paint Pen
Here's what I did...
1. I started by giving my A4 and 3x5
ins pages some colour, using Cobalt Teal Hue and Green Gold fluid acrylic, and
blending the colours a little with the white Tinting Base.
2. Next, I added some stencilling with
the same colours, tone on tone, using the Dinky Stencils Dragonfly Flight and
Numbers.
3. Using Carbon Black fluid acrylic, I
stencilled with the Believe Dinky Stencil on the 3x5 ins page. Then I
stencilled the words Live and Dream onto the A4 page. I also stencilled the
bubbles pattern from the Dream stencil in the top left and bottom right corners
to create a kind of border.
4. Using the serrated edge of the Dream
stencil, I dipped it in a little Carbon Black paint that I'd smeared on my
craft mat, then added some scrapes of paint to the top right and bottom left of
the A4 page.
5. On a piece of contrasting Gelli
Plate print, I stamped three of the flowers and four of the leaves from the
'Fleur' stamp set, using black Archival ink. I cut out the leaves and flower
heads. On the A4 page, I stamped the flower in the centre, then used matte
medium to adhere one gelli print flower head over the stamped one, then
the other two fanning out at the sides. I glued the gelli print leaves onto the
3x5 ins page.
6. Using a fine black Sharpie, I
doodled a base to the stem of the flower on the A4 page, then used an orange
paint pen to add colour to the stripes. I also Stencilled some more carbon
black bubbles with the Dream stencil.
7. I used my orange paint pen to
add outlines to the large stencilled words, and a bit of detail on the
stencilled bubbles. I used Glossy Accents to adhere a square acrylic shape over
the 'D' of the word Dream. I also added a few doodled crosses to the
page with a white gel pen.
8. I finished off each page with some
carbon black paint sponged on the edges, then attached the 3x5 ins page to the
front of the A4 page with book rings.
I hope I've inspired to to be creative
today,
