Hello all!
This month over at Scrap Matrix we have a fabulous new challenge for you.
Mandalas!
This is my art journal page based on the challenge.
I have started with a page in my 'Dylusions Creative Journal - Large'.
I have then given a coat of 'Liquitex White Gesso', to seal my page.
I have then used the gorgeous 'Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Acrylic Paints'
in 'Turquoise' to coat my page.
I have then used my 'TCW 6x6 Stencil - Skylight' and
'Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Acrylic Paint' in 'Prawn'.
I have then applied a mix of 'Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Acrylic Paints' in
'Prawn' and 'Pumpkin Soup', that I have blended with my
'Ranger Inkblending Tool'.
I have then used torn strips of pieces from the
'Art by Marlene Collage Papers #3',
that I have adhered to my page.
I have sponged and blended some 'Liquitex White Gesso',
over my page, to lighten the bright colours a bit.
I have started to add some doodles to my mandalas and paper strips.
I have also added some 'Dina Wakely Media Collage Word Pack',
that I have cut up and used on my page.
I have then gone back through with my 'Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Acrylic Paints',
to add some more colour around my page.
Finally, I have added some more doodling to finish my page.
So there are lots of layers to this page, but I felt it needed the depth of layers.
Adding doodles to the already existing patterns can also help
add depth to your layers.
I am in love with this Mandala stencil.
If you look there is sure to be more than one that you fall in love with.
I hope that you like what I have created.
I hope you get a chance to play along with us.
Until next time!
Lisa xoxo
