Floral Journal Spread

11/20/2015

I continued some more project today and actually did get some ATC's made, but will share wait till later to share those. But wait, there's more, I continued with another journal spread. I signed up a few days ago for another online class, this one from Jessica Sporn Floral Canvas Class. This really took me out of my comfort zone but I kept going with layers of acrylic paint, Portfolio pastels, and Conte a Paris black pencil. No disrespect to Jessica Sporn's teaching skill, but though I am pleased with my first attempt I will practice some more. All in all a very fun day.
I shared this on Carolyn Dube's Link Party where you can find more wonderful posts.

This isn't what I started to do today when I got supplies out, what ever happened to those ATC's I planned on doing? Oh well, another time, but I'm pleased with my page for today. I took inspiration from Marjie Kemper to do a little Distress Ink blending and rubber stamping. I used dusty concord, shaded violet, squeezed lemonade, shabby shutter and forest moss. I need more practice, but then the sentiment says it all, doesn't it? The rubber stamping was with Inkadinkado 60-30496 Meadow clear stamp set and jet black Archival Ink. The sentiment was stamped on tissue paper with leaf green Archival Ink and applied with matte decoupage medium. I'm always happy to hear from the lovely people who visit me here so any comment you have are welcome.

Today I worked on a journal spread from a workshop available on Bloknote website. I used my Gellie plate to make block prints as instructed in the workshop although I used different colours. Below are the resulting prints.

Next I printed the doll image provided by the instructor Marieke Blokland onto my Gellie print and outlined with a Sharpie marker. I painted an area where the doll is placed with antique white light acrylic paint, redrew the lines with the marker again. The next step was to paint the face, dress and hair with watercolours. The details on the doll are coloured with Crayola markers. I added washi tape on the edges and to scraps of the Gellie print and added tose to the pages. The left hand page is printed on the Gellie print and gold acrylic paint is painted over the text. I hand wrote free with Sharpie markers and added scraps of print with washi tape.

Here is my finished spread and I am very pleased with the finished results.
