Recently,I decided it was time to cover some of those journal spreads I really never cared for .
Out came my Infusions from PaperArtsy and
the color love~fest began!
You can see where the paste was applied heavier by the bigger cracks. I wanted a NO-uniformity feel here.
If you have not had a chance to try these Infusions,you really should!
They produce such gorgeous colorations!(is that a word?)
You can check out PaperArtsy's Video here to learn more about these beauties!
At the top of the page,I let loose with some spritzed water and my first applications of Infusions~using
Orange County & Are You Cerise.
I dried a bit here with the heat gun,then added more color and more water.
Next the pages were held up to let all of that yummy color flow down through the crackle!
I have to admit,I got a bit carried away here as I dried this and then added more color and more water. I just couldn't help myself!
watching how these color particles react with the water is mesmerizing!
The added gold embossing paste through the sun stencil came as an after thought,which I really did not need and wished I had waited a day to decide on. Anyway,it does look gorgeous out in the sunlight and I am quite pleased with the pages .
Now I will continue to sit on my hands and wait patiently for my new Infusion colors to arrive!
Then...
let the color play begin again!

Oh, Jackie, your Infusions and Crackle forest is amazing! I want to lose myself among those magical, fairy-tale trees! These colours are terrific! You've brightened my day again with your lovely and original work. xxx
This is sensational Jackie. the textures and the colors are perfectly matched here!
It is really inspirational! Gorgeous texture, design and color!
Fantastic effect Jackie just love this❤
Pure yumminess! I have colorburst and brusho..but no infusions. I think the walnut ink crystals in the infusions really make them unique and cool and I want some :)
Gorgeous colors and textures! One of my favorite jackie pn pieces
Gorgeous pages. Fabulous infusions forest and crack effect!! xx
Wonderful colours and fabulous crackle trees. Brilliant cover up Jackie xx
Brilliant effects. That turned out so cool!!! Yes the colours are mesmerising to watch them develop! Nice combo!!
What a fabulous piece of work. It turned out brilliantly. Lx
This is so gorgeous!! How heavy is this piece or maybe I am asking how thick is it? Do you finish it with something so the crackle paste doesn't eventually crackle off? I have to go see what these infusions are. Great piece! and the color!!
what a gorgeous spread! Just beautiful... I am off looking for that tree stencil, lol!!
Love what you have done. Such an exciting piece!
Its a fabulous journal page, beautiful textures and the colours look amazing.

I LOVE all the texturing in this gorgeous composition. Blessings!
omg Jackie, I cannot understand how you created this beautiful piece of art. You make it sound so easy but it looks terribly complicated, and the result is sooo beautiful. I wish I could be there with you to see you create,I'm sure I could learn a whole lot from you!
Beautiful work Jackie! I love all the textures.
BRILLIANT! I emailed you.

this is just stunning! I love the texture and pattern of it all. I actually could see this on greeting cards! very cool indeed!
Stunning Jackie! You should definitely take this out of your journal and frame it so you can see it every day!
WOW WOW WOW, Jackie, I am so in love with your infusion forest!! I imagine a fall morning when the sun in streaming through the trees in the forest, carrying those brilliant fiery colours throughout the forest floor! What an amazing piece, full of texture and a vivid palette. Totally loving this one!!
Regarding your question about my 'twin' squirrels. I'm not sure they really are twins, but they arrived to me on the same today, one right after the other. They play together in the tree and leave together in the evening. And most importantly, they look exactly the freaking same! So I just call them the twins. haha. hugs
Ooohhh lovely layers and the crackled bits really speak beauty to me!!! You clearly had fun here dear Jackie. Gesso is such a great ingredient in addition to those lovely infusions all to create your magical forest ❤ oxo
this is so very beautiful Jackie - the colours and the crackle are just fantastic! Amazing! Hugs rachel x
wow, Jackie, that is just stunning!

By the way I totally apologize for the ack of visits, but life has just been crazy around here, things should get a little better soon and I really want to thank you for all your support! xxxx and happy woman's day, Alison sent me the link too!
This is just so richly stunning, Jackie...I'm drooling so much my keyboard is awash. Well done, my artsy friend! xoxox
OMG!! Stunning journal page and texture! Love what you have created here, Jackie.
