Tattered Angels and Art Journaling...

I created this art journal page for Tattered Angels. Check out the TA inspiration blog, for some step by step-photos and more detailed info. For the background I used Simply Sheer mist, Glimmer Mist, Gesso, Stencils, more mist and Glimmer Glaze.

The face was painted with acrylic paint and for the hair I used Neocolour II crayons and acrylic paint and then Glimmer Glam on top. I love the effect of the Glam on top of the black paint!

I actually added some blue "eye shadow" later on, but on that photo I didn't catch the sparkle in the hair so that's why I'm posting both of them... :)

 

 

Glimmering texture...

It's been a bit quiet here on the blog... Going back to work last Wednesday has been a huge change. It doesn't matter that I had plenty of time to mentally prepare. It's still so many new routines and so many adjustments to be made. I'll get the hang of it, I just need some time. :)

Here are another couple of projects that I made for Tattered Angels in August, using texture paste. For both the layout and the canvas I used one of the Tattered Angel screens together with texture paste to create my background.

When creating the layout I then covered my page with gesso and misted on top of the dry gesso using Simply Sheer Light Blue and Pink, Chalkboard Glimmer Mist London Fog, and Glimmer Mists Silver Sugar and Graphite. I also splattered some Glimmer Glaze Pewter over the background and painted the chipboard numbers with Glimmer Glam Smooches.

This layout is about me right now, and how I wish I was better at focusing at the positive side of things. Actually, "right now" was more like 3-4 weeks ago and I do feel a bit more positive at the moment. I guess I'd better do my best to hang on to that feeling... :)

I used the same screen when creating this 6x6 canvas. I used a Chunky Burlap Canvas from Canvas Corp and coloured the background with Chalkboard Glimmer Mist Valencia and Glimmer Mist Sun Sisters.

The star was misted with Key Lime Pie and the wooden cameras were painted with Glimmer Glam Organic Garden.

I hope you're all having a good week! Tomorrow is Friday... yay...!

Simply Sheer, texture paste and album cover...

We are creating with Texture Paste over at the Tattered Angels inspiration blog this month. This is the second canvas I created for the CHA booth, with the same type of butterflies that I had on my other canvas.

Here I used mainly the non-glittery mists from Tattered Angels - Plain Jane Simply Sheer. As much as I love glimmer, I love this look too! I used the colours Taupe, Burlap and Pink (for the flowers). The butterflies were both misted and then coloured with Glimmer Glaze - Icicle and Cowboy. The chipboard pieces were also painted with Glimmer Glaze Icicle.

I used a 6x6 chunky stretched natural canvas and some cord/jute rope from Canvas Corp.

I have also put together a journal, and I used texture paste to create my cover. I misted the cover with Chalkboard Mist Black Orchid and Glimmer Mist Aquamarine. To finish off, I splattered some Glimmer Glam Chandelier on top. The rings were painted with Glimmer Glaze Chianti.

Simple resist technique...

We're focusing on resist techniques and simple projects on the Tattered Angels blog in July. I created a background using Glimmer Glam Chandelier and a stencil from Crafter's Workshop, together with Plain Jane Simply Sheer.

When misting I started out with the darker Teal in the middle and then added the lighter Aqua on the sides. I love both of these Plain Jane colours...!

I painted the letters for my title with Glimmer Glam Caspian Sea (Yep - LOVE that one too!).
