Hi everyone! Some mood board inspiration
from me today.
With this month’s mood board I felt
inspired to create an art journal page using Dusty Attic chipboard and stencil.
I love art journaling as it gives me a chance to try different techniques which
I can then use in my scrapbooking. For this page I decided to try stamping with
chipboard and I will walk you through what I did. I think it worked out really
well and will definitely be something I try again.
To start the journal page, I watered down
aqua coloured distress ink onto plastic and smooshed into onto the page. I like
to use the packaging from my chipboard as the plastic as it is nice and soft. I
did many layers, letting each layer dry, so that I ended up with a very
textured background with lots of depth. I then use the Keyboard Jumble Stencil,
an ink sponge and a darker shade of aqua distress oxide ink to make a random
pattern with numbers and symbols. It is important that the distress ink
background is completely dry before you do this.
I then used aqua acrylic paint and the
broken bits chipboard to stamp more designs into the background. I simply
painted the chipboard reasonably thickly and while it was went turned it over
and stamped it onto the journal page. This gives you a double use of your
chipboard as you can then use the painted chipboard on a future layout!
I loved the idea of building on the numbers
and symbols in the background by creating a formula with beautiful sayings on
the word disks. I decided on Everyday moments + Captured moments = Cherish the
little things. I painted the word disks and mini addition pieces in silver
paint. I interpreted the grey in the mood board as silver – as I love metalics.
I made the equal sign by snipping two of the limbs from one of the crosses in
the mini addition set.
I then painted up one of the songbirds
using the moodboard colours. I didn’t use the second layer of the wing as I
don’t want too much bulk in my art journal. Some final splatters of silver
paint and a rub of brown ink around the outside of the page and my moodboard
inspired art journal page is done!
I hope you have a chance to get some
creative time in soon.
