Finally I have had time to play with my stash of Art By Marlene goodies!!!! I love the whimsy style, and though I never thought I'd like die cuts for mixed media, I'm loving them!! This page began with a background I created using a 6x6 Gel Press. It hadn't turned out the way I wanted, it was a test page really and I put it aside along with another one (you'll see next post). So I dug it out, added a bit more paint and some Oxide inks to the edges and got to playing!! I used a few of Marlene's stamps and a stencil with oxide ink for more dimension to the page and also created a border with Archival ink. Lastly I splattered black paint.
I already knew I wanted to use these images because I thought they looked good with the background colours I just needed something to ground her. I cut out some of the swirly Rice Paper and collaged it to the bottom of the page to look like waves and then adhered the rest of the elements. I outlined a bit with a fine black Pitt pen and I was finished!
I love adding pages to the disc bound journals, I have this 6x6 one and also an 8x8 journal. These DecoArt paints are gorgeous and I love how the gold shimmers over top. It's so pretty in real life.
