Hi crafty friends! Vicky here and today I am sharing another page of my mixed media journal.
I have already shared the other two pages here and here of my mixed media journal, and they are all flower themed. So here is another page with lovely flowers today.
For this page I have used exclusively Gelatos® by Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® as a coloring medium, both for the background and the flowers. You can easily replicate this page by using any flower stamp you have in your stash.
I just love how easy Gelatos® are to blend and you can make colorful and striking backgrounds effortless and within minutes. There are many techniques to blend them, with your fingers (best of all), with a baby wipe (for a paler look), by spraying water over them, with a brush... the possibilities are endless. I do demonstrate most of them in the video below.
To finish off my page I did a little stencil with my favorite Whipped Spackle by Faber - Castell. I love this product because it adds dimension and brightness and it is so thick that you can never have any accidents through stencils. Works perfect every time and you can even color it with gelatos. I can not recommend this product enough!
You can enjoy the video below where I am going to walk you through all the steps of creating this page.
Thank you all for joining me today. Have a great day.

To color the flowers and the leaves I did some cheating ;) Instead of coloring/blending directly on the page I stamped them on another piece of paper and then colored and cut them out with my scissors. Then, all I had to do was a little bit of paper piecing. A technique that adds dimension on your page while keeping everything clean at the same time.

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful art, Vicki. Outstanding colors. I don't use my Gelatos enough but this encourages me to get with it!!! Thank you,.
ReplyDeleteYour instructions are sO clear, I think I may just have become more motivated to practice using my gelatos again, as I hadn't been that happy with the results! Much appreciated :):):)
