AAJS6: Sharon's pages in Louise's "Gypsy" Journal

Hi Everyone!
 
 
Today I am sharing my journal spread in Louise's "Gypsy" themed journal.
 
 
I started by adding some texture to the background pages. I used gel medium to add tissue paper to both pages.
 
 
Once the dry I covered both pages with black gesso - such disgusting stuff to use - it seems to get everywhere LOL!!

 
Once the gesso dried I used several metallic coloured ink sprays to cover the pages.

 
I printed out all the collage elements and fussy cut - always a time consuming job but always worth the effort!
 

 
Finished pages with all the elements glued down and lettering added along with a few gems for added sparkle! I like the effect of the black background and curtains!
 

 
A great theme - hope Louise loves the pages!
 
Sharon

  1. Stunning result Sharon. You were so brave to use the black gesso, but it looks amazing with the colour on it.
