Art Journal Page Tutorial by Susanne

Hi there!

Susanne here today and I'm sharing a step by step art journal project. This one is made in my homemade traveler's journal. I used gelli printed papers as my base pages.

Use gel medium and adhere the mixed media die cuts to the page. Cover it with a layer of gesso. Stamp the main image and the sentiment on tissue paper, cut it out and adhere it to the page.

Now it's time to add colour with Brusho powders. I sprinkle the pigments onto my page and spread them arround with a wet brush. I am adding colour until I am happy with the result.
While I am drying the colours with a heat tool I am spritzing water droplets with the Distress Sprayer onto the page to create some more texture.

I make the Dancing Lady pop out more by adding a shadow around her. I'm using an Inktense pencil.

Finally I add some stamping:

There is a universe inside you - notecard by Cheetarah

Hi all! It's Cheetarah here and I am sharing a note card I made with some lush Cat Kerr designs for VLVS! as the focal point. This card was fairly simple put together, it's stamped all on one layer and has a fun and bright effect due to the background stamp and perfect pearl sprays I used. 

So I first stamped the Girl's face, masked it off and then stamped Expanding rays silhouette background over the masked face with a mixture of yellow and orange memento dewdrop inks. 

The stamped some bits of the Squiggly stars and numbers here and there for some texture. 

When the mask was still on I sprayed some perfect pearls kiwi glimmer mist over it for a sunshine effect for the rays. I then took the mask off, made sure the card was dry and colored the face with some letraset pro-markers. 

Lastly I stamped the sentiment under the face, matted the card on a light blue cardstock (blue skies) and called it done!
