Hello Everyone! Today I'm sharing a page that I built up over 4 days for the 31 Products Challenge.
Day 9 - DecoArt Crackle Paste - I prepped my page with a page from my London A-Z, and added white gesso. Then I used a palette knife to apply the crackle paste, and used a bottle top to make some circles in it.
Day 10 - Walnut Ink - I lightly spritzed the walnut ink through an alphabet stencil, added some splashes and drips, and highlighted the circles.
Day 11 - Portfolio Water-Soluble Oil Pastels - I added some colour to the circles using two shades of blue oil pastels, and blended them with a wet paintbrush.
Day 12 - Rubber Stamps - The Postie brought me a lovely PaperArtsy stamp set by Sara Naumann, so today I inked some of the stamps up and finished my page.
I linking my bumblebee page up to Linda's Creature Comforts Challenge at Art Journal Journey. I've been suffering with a horrible cough and cold the last couple of days, and managing to make a little art has really helped.
Happy Friday! Hope you're all well, have a lovely weekend.

I'm sorry to read you have not been well, Alison. Your completed page is beautiful. I think I like Day 11 best because of how you blended those oil pastels. This is a fabulous end result and absolutely perfect for Linda's theme at Art Journal Journey.
ReplyDeleteFantastic page Alison, stay well! Hugs, Valerie
