I have an art journal page to share with you today! I used lots of Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft mediums and Gelatos® colors along with a few of the adorable Layered Chipboard clouds. Unfortunately, I was so into making this page, I forgot to take too many in progress photos!
I started with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Whipped Spackle and used a palette knife from our Gelatos Tool Set
to smear some around to create "clouds". It keeps it's shape and won't
flatten down after drying. I also love the resist that it gives to wet
media.When that was dry, I added Gelatos® colors in Blueberry, Metallic Blueberry , Bosenberry and Double Scoop® Snow Cone to the page. I had made a Gelatos® mist with the Metallic Blueberry and Bosenberry to create a shimmer and an even application.
The
other colors were added to the top of the page and water was added with
a brush to allow drippage (my favorite technique)! I love how the
Whipped Spackle allows the color to puddle and change over it. When
that was dry, I added stamped letters using a Stamper's Big Brush Pen in
Cool Grey
Finally, I added the UmWowStudio layered chipboard clouds and filled or covered them with the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Glass Bead Glitter Gel. It gives them the right amount of sparkle and shine! When dry, it allows the color underneath to show through too! I love these layered chipboard pieces with their open spaces to fill with fun mediums!
The
quote I used for this page was one from a 7 year old! I found it
online and it was perfect for this page! That 7 year old was so wise.
It says:
"If you are feeling blue,
try painting yourself a different color!"
I love that I can use ALL of my Gelatos® colors any time I want!!! It just depends on my mood!
What color are you feeling lately?
