Art Journal Page with Pascale

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Lindy’s blog with a new step-by-step Art Journal page inspired by the talented Anna Dąbrowska.  You all know I love to use photos in my projects that mean something special to me and today is no different, the young man in the photo is my uncle.

First, I glued different elements down with a soft matte gel: a book page, some washi tape, fabric tape, …  When happy with the result, I covered everything with a thin layer of white gesso.

Next, I added some random stamping with different stamps and a black Archival ink. I covered the stamp’s images with watered gesso.  Then I used a brayer to add the Long John’s Silver ink from Lindy’s.

Next, I added a design with a stencil and a clear crackle paste which I let dry naturally. In the meantime, I cut a few papers to add under the photo.
After the paste dried, I glued the papers I cut as well as some black thread. I covered the papers with clear gesso, then I added more colors with Whale Watch Blue and C’est la vie Cerise inks.

I added more washi tape pieces that I covered which clear crackle paste.
I finished the page with splatters of black enamel to prevent the splatters to go in the cracks.

And now for some close-ups, so you can see all the yummy details!

And here is the video:
