Hello Friends
I
am so excited and honored to be on the Lulupu blog as the Featured artist today !! I had
won their last challenge for this entry of mine and was thrilled when I got a
mail from Lulupu and was invited for a GDT spot. I am sharing this project and a tutorial on the Lulupu blog today, there is also an interview....
I have created a handmade Art Journal for myself using thick Canson
cardstock and Brustro Watercolor paper. I am sharing the cover page for my
journal along with a tutorial ………..
I started with …. ColourArte
Silks acrylic Glazes in Sea Spray and Lemondrop and the mini misters
I printed the image on copy paper using the laser
printer and fussy cut it….
Diluted the silks with some water and sprayed
using the mini misters to create my background….The silks are permanent once
they dry…I hope you can see the shimmer……once the background is dry, place the
image face down and adhere with gel medium, give a coat of Gel medium on top as
well and leave to dry completely.The lovely image is from here
Once everything is dry,spritz with
water and rub gently to remove the paper,be very gentle so that only the very top layer comes
off. Let it dry and if you see bits of paper still sticking repeat the process.
Coat the image with Gel medium to seal the image.
Sorry but I do not have the process pics after this , will try my
best to explain…
I have used the
faber-Castell Mixed Media stencils, 101collection and texture paste to stencil
all around, stamped with Black archival ink and Prima texture stamps, used ColourArte
Silks acrylic Glaze in Apple Blossom to add some more color.
Added the silks on the image to enhance the
colors on it…the mica in the acrylic glazes adds so much of glamour to the
image.................
The words are from Tim Holtz chitchat stickers, some stars are
added and lastly I have added few layers of Transparent Glass stain in clear
from Sapphire (an Indian Glass stain company) which gives lots of dimension and
a glass like finish to my focal image……
I do hope you will join me on the Lulupu blog here to know little more about me and leave me some love. Big thanks to Karuna and team Lulupu for inviting me !!
