Mixed Media Journal Page
Journals are a great way to express yourself, to write down your thoughts and ideas, and even more so through the form of art.
The journal page I created consists of a few different mixed media techniques and a great way to use up bits of papers and embellishments.
I started by tearing pieces of paper from the Pretty Little Studio collection Dream Big. I just tore up the larger pieces and used up some smaller pieces I had lying around and stuck them to the page using a gel medium.
I then lightly went over the top of the page with a white gesso. Using dylusions paint in peony blush and campso teal, I smudged the paint over the page with a paper towel. I then mixed dylusions paint dirty martini and campso teal with texture paste separately and spread these through the Little Birdie circle stencil creating raised circles on the page.
Next I used Nuvo Gliding flakes in silver! I had never used this product before, and I think I have found a new love! I applied the flakes using a glue pen. First I applied the glue pen in the places I wanted the flakes and using my finger, smudged it in. Finally I sprayed over the green circles with a little Tim Holtz Dylusions spray in tarnished bronze.
I used my heat gun over the page and then let it sit for a little bit. Once it was all dry, I stuck down a tag from the Pretty Little Studio shipping tags, then applied the embellishments.
I used a Dusty Attic creative script, and some wooden hearts, which I sprayed with Nuvo Mist Turkish Rose. While these were drying, I applied the pink leaf ribbon to the page and the crochet doilies with a little glue. The mini jar burlap from Little Birdie came with a dimensional already stuck on the back, so these were easy to place down where I wanted them. The hearts, little flower and script words were also stuck down with a little glue.
Hope you like my creation.
