Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Creative Art Journal Page. Going through my stash, I determine my direction of a sewing theme using vintage sewing machine images and other related elements. This page is all about layering and I would love to share how I made it. Will you join me?
Creative Art Journal Page Background
For the background, I adhered two pieces of torn old book pages onto a piece of white thick cardstock using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
Next I sprinkled some pigment powder on top and misted the powder with water. I moved the color around the page by tilting the cardstock for some design. Now let it dry thoroughly. You can speed that up by using a heat tool.
Building Background Layers
Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, adhere some patterned paper scraps to the page until you get your desired look. Next, place a stencil over the page. With a spatula and structure paste, create the next layer. Let dry thoroughly. If you’re impatient, use a heat tool to speed up the drying time but be careful of possible bubbling.
Adding Elements
Fussy cut several images with scissor and adhered on the page with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Pop up some of cut images with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix in the foreground. Then lift up more with the other images using 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares Micro White. Using the different kinds of foam adhesives, you achieve a variety of 1mm + 2mm heights (1/32″ + 1/16″) for a lovely depth on the page.
The Sentiment-al Touch
To finish, I picked and chose some suitable sentiments to tuck into the designs. I love how it turned out! And voilá, the Creative Art Journal Page is complete!
I hope you’re inspired to create your own Art Journal page. Wishing you happy crafting!
