Spotlight Creative Embellishments - Inspire

Welcome crafters everywhere to the second of the Sponsor Spotlights this month

Kerstin  here again with a new project - an ART JOURNAL :-)

Perfect theme, it makes me happy!,

It relaxes me and helps me to stress management

                     

This month our Sponsor is

 Creative Embellishments 

 They have a huge assortment of gorgeous chipboards and it was not easy to 
decide which ones to choose!

 

There are no rules for journaling, it is 'anything goes'.

This is actually the oft-quoted "The journey is the reward" 

With journaling very different forms of expression can be used: painting, drawing, photography, collage, stamps, stencils, chipboards, writing, .... and much more. 

Often it is a combination of different techniques in Mixed media style, that lead to pages.

For this project I chose the Leafy vine frame, the wonderful Flourish dragonflies and the Words Inspire

For the background I used some acrylic paints (brown, black, white)

The wet paint was marked with a tool to give the impression of natural bark

I also worked with stamps, stencils and Distress spray paint

The chip board was primed with Golden/green acrylic paint....

.....and gold embossing powder was used here

and covered with a white patina

Before becoming a journal page this was an old calendar page

 This was perfect - It become a wonderful background

I hope you will be inspired to discover the fascinating world of using Chipboards from Creative Embellishments, and I hope you will also have gained some new options in Art Journaling
