Art Journals and magical backgrounds + VIDEO tutorial

I looove, adore working on my backgrounds.
Whether that is journal page, card or layout my main focus is background.
Sometimes it is enough to have some great stencil and colours :)
These two things can create magical effects.
Here are my new journal pages and recent video if you haven't see it yet.
Enjoy :)

This page is my favourite of all, I used Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays and interesting 'Lace stencil' from Finnabair (Prima).


Every project incudes basic mixed media line: Heavy Gesso and usually 3D Gel from Finnabair.



Enjoy my mixed media art journal page

Mixed media layout + VIDEO tutorial for Lindy's Stamp Gang

Hello everyone :)

Welcome in the new year !
I hope you had an amazing Christmas time and New Years Eve.
For me, this festive atmoshere was full of emotions and reflections.

Today I would love to share with you a very special piece.
I feel that pages showing myself as a baby are like a keepsakes for me.
Special and precious.

 
To create my backroud I used magicals mixed with gel medium and texture paste.
There were three magicals used: 'Frenchy's pink pouf', 'Pop rock purple' and 'Cafe au lait'.



Additionally I used some of my favourite sprays:



 As you can see I added chipboard embellishments. I embossed all the wooden pieces with Midnight Violet embossing powder. You can see that the wooden elements shine. Dark, rich colour of the purple is giving an amazing contrast to the page.



I have a video ready for you to see the whole creating process from start to finish. I hope you will enjoy it and feel inspired. Happy creating.



Hugs, Marta xx
