Alison CT - Trust the Process

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using one of the gelli plate backgrounds I created the other day with other stamps from Bee Crafty. 

To begin, I used versafine clair twilight ink to stamp the round leaf from Journaling Essentials 2 on to the gelli plate. I then added blue and green acrylic into which I pressed the pearl big one. I left this to dry then added a thin layer of white gesso, before adding a piece of card and rubbing it firmly onto the gelli plate. I gently pulled the card off the plate bringing the paint and stamping with it.

I cut this to the correct size for my A5 journal. I used versafine clair nocturne to stamp some areas of the script background stamp and the row of small circles from Journaling Essentials 5.

Next, I stamped the flower and leaves from Journaling Essentials 5 and the bird and circle stamp from Journaling Essentials 6. I coloured these with distress oxides and a waterbrush. I then cut them out. 

I then glued the background i to my art journal.

Using a ball tool and piece of foam I shaped the flowers, leaves and bird.

Then I used matte medium to glue the flowers, bird and leaves to the page.

Using a white posca pen I added faux stitching around the edge of the page and then white splats. 

Finally I added a sentiment from the Wordy Stickers 2.
