Paperartsy 2016 Topic 1

Hello everyone and thank you for visiting today.

I'm sharing my first Paperartsy challenge entry for 2016 - the first topic of 2016 is 'Transparent Art' but for more information please click HERE

I have decided this year that I am going to try to create a journal page for every topic and then bind them all together at the end of the year - Darcy did this for 2015, if you'd like to see her journal click HERE. Well that's my plan anyway - we'll see if I can keep up!

So here is my page:

The background is water, fresco paint (pea coat, French roast) and some Prima oil pastels.

I added Prima 3D gloss gel through a TCW stencil for some transparent texture.

The tree is on a piece of acetate stamped with black stazon - it's a France Papillion stamp for Stampotique.

I added the acetate with glossy accents then covered it up with some brads covered with Little Black Dress Fresco paint.

The word 'dream' is a little wooden diecut - I used some Lindy's Stamp Gang Midnight Sapphire embossing powder on it before adding it to the page.

Finally I added some black splatters with the left over LBD paint from the brads which I think tie it all together.

 

 

Thanks for looking,

Claire xx

  7. Really beautiful - and a lovely idea to create a year long journal from the themes. I love the depth of colour here and the transparent texture is so cool. I've been resisting that France P tree for ages, and you're not helping!
