Products used

Numbers Glitter Cardstock

Wedding Cut outs Card Stock

Pink Glitter Crackle Card Stock

First using a couple of stencils apply White and Black Gesso onto the page at random and let dry. I like to mix them up and add lots of texture.

Add Red  DecoArt  Metallic Lustre around the edges and rub over it to blend. 

Flick ink over the page. The more messy the background the better, mixed media isn't meant to be perfect.

Cut up the card stock into rectangles and strips. Layer the larger rectangles at the bottom and keep adding layers until you are happy with their position and glue to page.

Use a few texture stamps to stamp around the edge of the page. It doesn't need to look neat.

Add more stamping around the page and over the layers

Decorate the page with shells and flowers. Add a title with alpha stickers

How to Create Breathtaking Art Journal Pages with Brushos

Hi all

I have a new journal layout i created with the Brusho set i won from the Colourcraft C&A Facebook page

I started off by spritzing water onto the pages and them using a paint brush to lift the ink crystals out of the tub. I then sprinkled it onto the area i wanted to add the colours. I let each colour dry out a little bit before i added the next one.

I then used DecoArt White Gesso and applied it to the centre using a pallet knife and let it set.

I used the Crafters Companion Textures to add the detail

Cut up a few matching sheets of paper and layer them together

Once you are happy with the layers glue them down using Best Glue Ever. Add 3D foam tape to the back of the longest strip and adhere over the layers. The 3D tape allows for more layers and bits to be added after.

Add some of the fish onto white card stock and cut out so you can position them onto the card before sticking them down.

Adhere them to the card along with a few drew drops

For the sentiment i used the Fishing Rub Ons and added the sentiment to the center of the dollies

DecoArt Blogger Program Be Bold Art Journal

Hi all 

I have a new journal page to share using my new DecoArt paints and my word for 2017 is bold.

I have been playing with the stamps i bought in the sales and wanted to add a lot of texture so i stared off by applying the Crafters Acrylic to the Gelli Plate and transferring it on to the blank pages.

I then added some texture stamps around the edges and stamped circles in the centre. I used Andy Skinners new stencil  Bubbles to draw an outline around the textured circles. I then added more texture using the Bubbles Stencil with the modeling paste.

I took some of the prints i created earlier with the Gelli plate and hand drew some hearts. I then used the Oak House Studio Texture Squares to add texture.

The words i created with the Indigo Blue Circus font stamps and i just cut them out and stuck them down
