Traveling Vellum Journal page

  Recently I signed up with a group to participate in a traveling journal from Clearprint.

 The gig was to be sent a journal,create a page and send it back to home-base to travel to the next artist. As a thank you,Clearprint sent along an extra journal for me to keep~

Thank YOU Clearprint!

 I have to tell you that working on this paper is dreamy!! So soft and smooth;the paint,pens and pencils just glide over the surface! And it takes erasers extremely well! I would not have guessed that you could use all sorts of media on this paper, but I have to tell you,my page is proof!

Besides the micro pens,Stabilo pencils,watercolors and DecoArt acrylics,I even was able to double emboss with my beloved Lindy's embossing powders!

 Here is my page...

When you are out checking out new art supplies, treat yourself to a Field book or Journal- I guarantee you'll love it!!

In case you were about to ask,Clearprint did not pay me to say these things,my own honest evaluation here!

Golden Goddess

This page will be the first of my goddess journal I am working on-stay tuned more to come ")

Starting out with a piece of 140 lb.watercolor paper,DecoArt acrylic paints thinned down to watercolor consistency;apply layers of color till desired look is achieved.

Next pounce on acrylic paint-full strength to highlight areas

 Mixed 3D Gloss Gel with paint

 and knifed through stencil

 set aside to dry

Same was done to background of cardstock journal page.

Next, a piece of craft board was sized smaller and layers of paint added, and set aside to dry

Attached watercolor paper to journal page and used gilding foil in various areas

 My graphic of this gorgeous lady,came from the GOLDEN SPLENDOR collage sheet.
She was sized and glued to the craft board,then this was glued to the cardstock journal page.

Metallic Lustre was applied with my finger to raised areas and the edges
