AAJS6: Robyn's "Dreams & Fantasies"

Hi Everyone!

 

Sharing my pages in Robyn's "Dreams & Fantasies" journal from a few months ago - LOL I think I forgot to blog these pages at the time so I'm catching up!

 

 

I loved how this spread turned out - the colours and images were just what I was wanting to achieve.

 

 

I started by adding blobs of paint to each page and spreading with a credit card - I didn't want to cover the entire page so it's more "random" spreading of the blobs LOL!

 

Next I used a stencil and some Pearl finish paint and applied with a sponge randomly over the page - the pearl paint is great for adding some nice shimmer!

 

 

I also added some white paint using the same stencil randomly over the page as well.

 

 

Next I tore some Tim Holtz patterned tissue paper and adhered randomly over both pages. I did add a very thin "wash" of gesso over the pages to tone down the paint colours slightly after adding the tissue paper pieces.

 

 

Next step was putting my paper doll elements together - by Art Tea Life of course - LOL I'm like a broken record but this is my fav collage store - has the perfect images that I like to create with!

 

 

I used an alphabet stamp set to stamp out the "Dare to Dream" wording - I cut each letter out and edged with a sharpie.

 

 

Adhere the letters to one half of the spread:

 

 

And the paper doll to the other half:

 

 

Hope Robyn enjoys her journal when it returns home!
