Hi everyone.
Today’s project is one I made for the Hochanda shows a few months ago and
features the 8x8 inch white/greyboard journal pages and That’s Crafty! Textures stamp
set 2. I do love abstract art and had great fun including these stamps onto
this journal page.
I began with
black and white gesso to create some blocks and horizontal and vertical lines –
quite roughly at this stage as you can see!
I then took the
Textures stamp set and stamped onto white photocopy paper. I used this as it is
thin paper and I wanted to collage it over my page. I tore and cut sections and
adhered them with matte medium.
I stamped more
of the textures with paint directly onto the journal page to build up layers
and develop the composition, tweaking the black/white mix in places. Having
just used black and white paint up until this stage I decided to add a little
watered down brown over some of the photocopy paper and then used the edge of a
credit card to add some thicker black lines with paint. Finally I added some
black and white paint splatters.
