destination unknown-my creative journey

hello everyone! I'm back with another creation- alterered birdhouse made from chipboards by snipart. It comes as individual parts , that you have to glue together. For this i used tacky glue, but you can use every craftglue.  The first step was as always to prepare the surface with gesso- i used black gesso. Then i mixed texture paste with sand and black gesso and applied it with a palette knife. To speed up the drying process, i used my heat tool. Then i added some chipboard pieces from snipart, which i prepared with black gesso, too. For my composition i choosed two old brushes, some paper roses and regular artstones by finnabair. I glued everything with heavy gel medium and covered them with gesso. After everything was dry, it was time for some color. I started with some Lindy's stampgang sprays and used again my heat tool for drying.  For my embellishments i used some finnabair artalchemy paints and deluted them a little bit with water. To hightlight everything

today i want to show you my vintage art journal page, which is inspired by Marta Lapkowskas Youtube videos,where she used 'no art tools'. So i decided to try it myself using coffee and tea as paints. I started with preparing the pages with gesso and started building a nice composition with some stripes and pieces of old paper, washitape and diecuts from tim holtz. Then i added some texturepaste through a stencil and some stampings. After drying i decided to add some lace and brads and chipboard pieces. for the color i used strong coffee and cherry tea, which gives a beautiful red-purple shade on the paper for the chipboards i used a vintage blue-copper embossing powder
