Guest Inspiration Team : Preeti D.

Hi folks :)

Hope you are doing well.

Dutt Preety (Preeti D.) here from the Guest Inspiration Team. 

I'm happy & excited to share my first project for Viva Las VegaStamps! 

I've created a Grungy Art Journal Spread- "Art Is..." using some gorgeous VLVS! rubber stamps. 

Process:

1. Applied Heavy white gesso to the pages to prepare them for mixed media work

2. Sprinkled on Lindy's Gang Magicals on the pages & spritzed them with water to get an organic looking background

3. To create interest & texture in the background, did background stamping using multiple VLVS! stamps & archival ink

4. Prepared a masterboard using alcohol inks & then stamped over top with some more VLVS! stamps to create texture, then cut it into strips & distressed the edges of the strips

5. Stamped the quote and focal image onto watercolour paper, lightly coloured it with Zig markers, fussy cut these & distressed their edges

6. Created the focal clusters on both pages by layering die cuts, stamped strips, images & twine. Adhered the elements using soft matte gel

7. Darkened the edges of the pages with black archival ink & created white splatter using watered down gesso.
