This is my entry for this week's Theme Thursday Challenge where the theme is to use texture and/or layers. Mine includes both - I have crumpled tissue paper adhered to a cardstock piece with the wrinkles highlighted with distress ink and metallic rub-ons, as well as a layered background that started as text transferred with gel medium to a piece of watercolor paper, then gessoed, and finally sprayed with Adirondack colorwash over a Prima stencil. My idea began as a journal page background, and here's a picture of it so you can see the layered background before I added the Paper Whimsy girl.
I outlined the background with a drawn rectangle and smudged it with water soluable oil pastels - I haven't yet decided what to add to this journal page because I'm really liking the background! I also played around with another layered background in my journal:
I had a bunch of circles die-cut from vintage text paper that I adhered randomly, then gessoed over. I added a layer of quinacridone gold acrylic paint, then a burnt umber layer and wiped it with a baby wipe to blend. I added the drawn rectangle and the shadowing around it and the circles with more of the water soluable oil pastels blended with my fingers.

ReplyDeleteI haven't started an Art Journal as I always say to myself that if I have time to create it is better to see a completed card or other project but now I understand the value of keeping an art journal.
The textures shine through in the photograph and everything works together beautifully.
