Chase your dreams

Hello everyone,

Today I have an art journal page to share and this is it :

and here is how I treated the lovely chipboard kite:

I was going to use some stars as well but decided against it in the end... I will use them for something else sometime. 

First I gessoed everything to get a good base. Also because I was going to use acrylic paint I think it is better to start with a light base. 

These are the colours I used... 

Next I added some shading with Faber Castell Big Brush markers and added some faux stitch lines. 

For the background I used my gelli plate and a Lego piece.. 

I also used a few rubber stamps by VivaLasVegaStamps and a cloud stamp by Lawn Fawn.

This is the chipboard and you'll find it HERE.

Thank you so much for stopping by today !

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my post. I love playing with the UmWow chipboards; they are very good quality and there are so many different ones!!! They are mostly used in scrapbooking but I want to show you that you can also use them for other things. I made an art journal this time :

I started with a white piece of paper which I gelli printed. I used White, light blue, turquoise and purple acrylic Amsterdam paints and home made mark makers. Next I white embossed the rings and did some background stamping. I used all VivaLasVegaStamps! 

I am sorry about the photo being a little dark... I tried several times but this one was the best... 

They chipboards were heat embossed. I painted the feather with white gesso first, then I embossed them with white WOW fine detail embossing powder, then I used  a light blue at the edges and then a purple over that leaving some of the blue to show. 

I heat embossed the stars with the same blue but because they had no gesso on them it came out too dark to my taste. So I re embossed with white which gave these cool blue speckles ! I like it... 

I stamped Alice, coloured her and placed her on the feather as if she is reaching for the stars. 

I used the following chipboards by UmWowStudios:
