Alison CT - Using coloured inks with stamping tissue.

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing this art journal page, on which I have used Bee Crafty stamping tissue to create the background.

I began by creating a background in my Dina Wakley media journal using three spray inks. I left this to dry naturally whilst I created some of the other elements needed for this page.

Using one quarter of a sheet of the stamping tissue, I stamped a selection of elements from the journaling elements set 1 and 2 using three colours of versafine clair ink. This needs to be done with a waterproof ink, as they will be glued to the page using gel medium, which will reactivate and smudge non-waterproof inks. Also be careful what is under your tissue as the ink will bleed through.

Next I used a wet paintbrush and carefully tore the elements into seperate pieces.

Next I chose which elements I wanted on todays page. I used gel medium to glue them to the page. The remainder I have kept for another project.

I then used the metal work alpha with Ranger distress grit paste to add letters and numbers to the page. Leave to dry.

 

Next I stamped the 3 and 4 from the numbers stamp set with the monarch versafine clair and the numbers from the journal art elements 3 using medievil blue versafine clair.

Then I stamped five moths from the dragonfly stamp set using black ink and die cut them out. These I glued to the page with gel medium.

Finally I added two of the sticker sentiments to the page using gel medium to ensure they adhere to the rough surface.
