Hi everyone, I'm here to share my interpretation of the topic Tiny (News) Print for Paper Artsy.
This is one of my favourite ways to create a background whether it be on canvas, in my art journal or even making cards. Each time it comes out a little different depending on the paper you use.
I first start by ripping up dictionary paper (this is my tiny (news) print! I have adhered it to the page using matte medium. I have covered the entire art journal page with these papers.
I have then randomly painted the following colours onto a 12x12 Paper Artsy super smooth heavy cardstock - tangerine Twist, Zesty Zing, Bubble Gum, Dirty Lime and Red Lipstick. Once dry I have placed it into the misti so I can stamp the flowers.
I have used Stamp EKC48 by Kay Carley. I like to stamp in the Misti as you can restamp the image if it isn't clear enough.
I then fussy cut them all out!
At this stage I like to make the colours pop and have used Prismacolour pencils over the top.
I have then adhered them to the page using matte medium
I have used a stabillo All pencil to highlight and add a texture look to some of the paper joins as well as a shadow around the flowers. I have stamped some twigs coming up from the pot and round the layout. I have added some white paint pen to the twigs. I have used a quote from stamp set EKC44 - "Its your time to bloom".
Once everything was dry I have added some gel pens and glitter glue to the flowers - everything looks better with a bit of bling!!!
Here are some close up photos
I hope you have been able to follow the process of making this page and give it a go yourself. I love the texture this page has with the dictionary pages, cut out flowers and glitter.
