Happy new year

I wish you a happy new year with new love, new hope, new possibitilies and everything you're wishing for.
I had a creative start in this year with this art journal page. I hope you like it
I found a beautiful old book on ebay for 3 euro and i decided to use it for art journaling
First i glued two pages together because they're pretty thin, then i started with gesso to prepare the pages. 
I used tags, die cuts and stickers from 7 dots studio to built the composition. Then i added modeling paste and a stencil from 13@rts. the colors are also from 13@rts.
I also added some stamps and finnabair's rustpaste and at the end i placed some word stickers from tim holtz

Finnabair inspired mixed media canvas

Bild
I'm a huge fan of Finnabair and i love her mixed media collages, and it was time to give this a try. I printed a picture of me on photo paper and glued it with gel medium on a canvas in size of 18x24cm. As the first step i used fixative spray to protect the picture and black gesso to prepare the rest of the canvas. Then i started to build my composition with metal embellishments, chipboardpieces and other small embellishments. After i glued all pieces with gel medium, i covered them with black gesso. As last step i added some artalchemy paints and white gesso to hightlight everything. products i used: Amsterdam black gesso Amsterdam extra heavy gel medium metal embellishments from Retrokraftshop chipboards from Snipart Finnabair artalchemy paints: 'deep water', 'opal magic pink blue', 'opal magic aqua rose' 'white pearl' Amsterdam white gesso

march Inspiration for Mixed Media Academy Challenge blog

Bild
Hi everyone! It's a new month and a new chance to join our challenges on the mixed media academy challenge blog. theme this month is again 'anything goes' mixed media except cards/tags/atcs. All details  here . As my inspiration for the challenge i created this art journal page. For this i worked in an old book. Old books are great for art journaling, they are cheap and easy to get and i just love this vintage look of the old pages and skripts.  I used white gesso to prepare the pages, fussy cutted some stamped elements and sticked them with gel medium. For the colors i used Lindy's Stampgang Sprays. For extra texture and insterest i added some strings.  this dragon-fly is stamped too. I glued it only in the middle to make it look a little dimensional. Thanks for watching, i hope you like my page and i could inspire you to create something for our challenge.
