Some Mixed Media Art Journalling – Voices

Hey guys, how do you fancy a project that I started a few weeks ago but finished yesterday? It is a journal page using fabric and paper combination with some stitchery and texture. It is my Creative Expressions piece for the week.

So it A4 sized and the fabric is denim, but I’m sure you had guessed that already hadn’t you?

There are several layers to this piece, Khadi papers, Denim, old book pages and card. The doily is the Couture Creations Dazzling Doily Die from the Fantasia Collection cut from card.

I’ve used clear Cosmic Shimmer Texture paste mixed with a little bit of white acrylic paint through the great That Special Touch Peacock Mask, I think I’ve already mentioned how much I love this mask so it does get reused a bit! I’ve added touches of Creative Expressions Enchanted Gold and Spring Green Gilding Wax to the textured area too.

I’ve used the Gilding Wax on some of the stitching too. By the way have you spotted the Solvent Blending Solution for Gilding Wax? I’ve not tried it yet but I will soon. I believe it helps soften and manipulate the wax.

The focal point uses stamps from the Tim Holtz Classics 4 Stamp Collection and the colour is the beautiful sparkle of Cosmic Shimmer Misters.

Thanks for popping in and have a fun Saturday.

    Fabulous layers – and I love the natural "naked" look, with just that hit of vivid colour in the disc – fantastic!
