Art Journal Page Process, Prompt List #47

 Full Video Tutorial:

Welcome!


Above is the prompt list tutorial video. The full prompt list can be found at the end of the video.
I encourage you to follow the prompts using your stash and see how the page turns out.

I have written the prompts for you to enjoy crafting without any expectations. Each of the lists that I write and follow, I have no plan in mind and I follow each step which makes crafting fun and care free. You can also use the same list multiple times and the outcome can be completely different.

Each of the prompt lists can be used for art journal pages, or if you prefer, you can create a canvas or tag with the steps. Whatever you feel like creating!

I hope you enjoy this weeks page.
If you create something that may have been inspired by the page/list, I would love to see your creation. Feel free to tag me on instagram with #SparklePrompts for any prompt list creations.


This page was stared with a tissue paper covering the background with decoupage method using mod podge. I then primed the page with clear gesso. To add interest I applied crackle texture paste with a pallet knife.


Once the texture paste had dried it had warped the page but I decided to continue with it instead of starting over. For the focal image I chose an image I had in my stash and cut it up, adding it to the page with gel medium as a mosaic.
The ephemera I added were related to the focal image, I added these as mosaic to make the page more cohesive.


To the texture paste I added some colour with a watered down gelato to bring out the cracks as you can see here.


I added a one word title as you can see here, with puffy stickers from my stash.
To finish the page I added some doodling of cells with a black sharpie across the background.


 Here is the full page spread, I hope you enjoyed this weeks prompt list.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to comment down below or on the comments in the YouTube video and I will get back to you.

I will see you next time, where we will turn your creative spark, into a Creative Sparkle.

To begin this weeks page I primed with white gesso and added a patterned napkin in decoupage style to the full background with mod podge. I used a green acrylic paint to add stippling effect and used tissue to remove any excess paint, making sure the napkin below was still visible.
I used embossing powder with a leaf stamp to add interest to the background and heat set them.


For the focal image I chose to add a girl from a Tim Holtz Idea-ology set, she was added with PVA glue. I then chose some material to add interest to the focal image and used a glue gun to add this.
I then added some skeleton leaves to the background using mod podge.


For the title I added some stickers from another Tim Holtz idea-ology sticker set and stuck them down more permanently with mod podge.
I added a border for the top and bottom of the page, using the same material I had used for the focal image. 
As a final touch I added splashes to the page using an acrylic paint in the colour Flesh.

To begin this page I tore envelopes up and stuck them on to the page folding some to add texture.
I then primed the page with white gesso and once dry I used a wipe to add a yellow gelato and acrylic paint in chocolate brown.


To add interest to the background I added recycled postage stamps and used travel themed stamps with Archival Ink in Coffee and Sepia. 
For the focal image I added a stamp to a mini scrapbook paper, I used the same archival inks to stamp it and then distressed the edges of the image and used a blending tool to add brown ink to the distressed edges.


I used the same distress paper and ink method to add a border to the page. I then added a title using the same stamp set to add a sign. The title itself was added with a simple brown felt tip pen.
I again used the same papers and used a die cut to create small envelopes and added them to the page.
The final touch for the page was to add wax seal stamps to each of the envelopes added. I used stamps from a pyrography pen set (metal ends), to seal the wax in shapes.

To begin this page I started with a gradient in acrylic paint using a lagoon blue colour and a purple. 
I then used baby blue paint and applied it using a dabbing effect with kitchen roll.
I then used the same baby blue paint to add splashes to the page.
To add interest to the background, I stamped images onto white tissue paper and added them to the page using mod podge.


For the focal image I chose a plague mask and top hat shape, I used a magazine image with that shape and added it to the page, outlining it in black and then white to help bring it forward.
I then added miniature nuts and bolts to the page using gel medium and added some metal cog pieces.


For the title I used the same method as the focal image, using the same image offcut for the background and the black and white to add the title. To finish the page I used black soot Distress Oxide ink with a blending tool to add a subtle border.

I added white dots to the page with a white gel pen to create stars, sticking in with the theme.


For the title I added a quote from a William Shakespeare play, and outlined it with the same silver on used to write.
To complete the page I added white enamel dots as a border around the full page.

To begin this weeks page I cut up book pages and used them in the background. I then used a baby wipe to add a brown paint so that the pages were still visible.
The next step was to add stencilling for which I used two different brown Distress Inks with two different stencils, one wood texture and one crack texture.


I then used an embossing folder to add texture to a piece of card and used distress ink with a blending tool to highlight the texture. 
For the focal image I added an envelope which contains the image you can see above and added some ink to make it more cohesive with the layout. I then added a title on the focal image envelope.


To finish the page I added a border of stitches with a stamp, and added more stamping of images that were cohesive with the focal image.
