Journal page with Gelatos® by Vicky

11

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 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.

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.

Mixed Media Journal Page - Techniques with Gelatos

17

Hi ! It's Vicky here today and I am happy to share a page of my mixed media journal.

 

Today's post will feature Limor's Signature Lines from IngoBlu and Lindy's Stamp Gang: 

IndigoBlu Stamps designed by Limor - Rugged Edges Stamp

Lindy's Stamp Gang  Tres Chic  - Bonjour Butter.

I have started this journal a while back and I want to turn it into a flower themed one. So each page will feature flowers as the focal point. This journal is the Mixed Media Mini Journal Boards  by Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft®   I love the pages on this journal, because they are nice and thick. They are actually chipboard pages that can take mediums, water or heat with no problem!

 

The background, all the shading and the coloring of the flowers was done using gelatos. In the how-to video below you will see how easy they are to use and blend. I am also sharing a great technique for shading your focal elements. 

 

Shading is vital if you want your images to pop. I love the vibrant background in this layout and you will be surprised to find out how easy it is to make. I have also used one stamp from the "Rugged Edge" set by Limor Webber to do some embossing on the edges. This really frames my art.

You can watch a step by step video tutorial on how I made this page below:

Mixed Media Journal – Laugh

3

Hi everyone, it’s Vicky here

Today, I am going to work on the first page of my mixed media journal. I’m using the mini mixed media journal by Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft®. I love this journal because it has nice thick chipboard pages that can take any medium perfectly.

And since spring is finally here I had to work on a lovely scene with a poppy. The lovely poppy is a Penny Black stamp. 

I have used IZINK inks to color the poppies. These inks are an acrylic-based pigment that dries permanent and semi transparent. I will also use my favorite PITT® brush markers to add shading.

For the background I have used one of my favorite techniques which creates a lovely textured mosaic. To do this I am cutting out small patterned paper pieces in random sizes, and sticking

them one next to the other, making sure that I overlap them on the edges.

To find out more on the techniques I used and for a step by step video on this page check out the video below:
