Hello everyone!
Nathalie with you today to show you a few of the prompts from the Junque
Journal challenge for week 4. I have
been having fun with the prompts, and I am loving how a few of Vicki’s products
can be transformed into amazing backgrounds.
So, let’s get started:
CIRCLES… who doesn’t love
circles! For this prompt, I used the
Circle die and stamp set to emboss ( with white emboss powder)a few circles on
a watercolor insert. The same stamp was
used to create a few black stamped circles.
I used a combination of fuchsia and purple art crayon to add some color
to each circle, making sure to add some shadows and contours to some of the
circles.
Once the background dried, I went ahead and used the starburst circle
stamp and the ink wheels to add a few more circles to the page. Love the
color and composition of this entry!
STAMPING THROUGH A STENCIL… This
entry was created using the butterfly stencil two ways. First, I used a pen to trace the butterflies
onto some scrap cardstock and cut the shapes so that I could use it at a mask
in the page.
Next, I used some washi tape to secure the stencil to one of the printed
mixed media inserts. Using a few shades of blue art crayon and the small
script stamp -from one of Vicki’s Stamp and Die sets- I added some stamped
images to the paper through the empty spaces of the stencil. A bit of extra pressure was used, as I wanted
to make sure the stamp will reach the paper.
Once I removed the washi tape and stencil, I used the fussy cut images
to cover the recently stamped butterflies.
Using the stencil brush and a yellow art crayon, I added the color to
the background without changing the color inside the stamped butterflies. This was fun to create!
BLACK BASE… I have had this idea
for the prompt since I read it in the list and was so excited to create
it. First, I covered one of the Kraft insert
with black acrylic paint using a brayer.
To create the script impression, I used the white art crayon, stencil
brush and script stencil. The soft
impression gives the look of writing on a blackboard.
Next, I added the floral gold impression by using the flower stencil and
some gold glaze. The small butterfly sticker was also colored
with some of the gold glaze.
Super loving how this page turned out.
DECOUPAGE… Now this is probably
one of my favorite pages for the week.
It all stated when I used some matte acrylic gel to glue pieces of Tim
Holtz printed tissue. A thin layer of
the gel was then applied to the entire page, and set aside to dry,
I added lots of layers of art crayon to create a soft rainbow look to
the entire page. Then used the black
crayon and stencil brush to add a soft shadow around the page. I used a baby wipe to take away some of the
art crayon through the flower stencil, and finally used the stencil brush and a
Heidi Swapp stencil to add some details to the page. LOVE how this turned out!
Just love how easy these were to put together, and the following video
will show you a more-in-depth look of how some of the pages were created.
