Hi friends!

Thanks a lot to Priya for inviting me to be a Guest Designer this month. The gorgeous colours & theme of the March Moodboard inspired me to create a Vintage Art Journal Page titled "Silent Moment". 

Vintage Art Journal Page- Silent Moment

Process:

1. Applied heavy white gesso to the art journal page to prepare it for mixed media work.

2. Added shading to the background using distress crayons.

3. To add interest to the background, adhered tissue papers, did background stamping using archival inks and stenciling using modelling paste. 

4. Created white, grey and purple ink splatter on the background. 

5. Next, worked on the main composition. To create the paper layers, painted multiple pieces of cardstock with different shades of purple and grey inks and paints. I used Lindy's Gang sprays, CrafTangles Chalk Paints and Dina Wakley's Acrylic Paints. Created a distressed look on some of the papers and did stamping on them. Then tore these coloured papers.  

6. Collected all the elements for layering (vintage photo, laces, gauze, torn pieces of painted paper, word stickers & tissue papers. Layered everything to create a harmonious composition, then adhered it all down using a strong glue. 

7. Next, added a little bit of stencilling on the main composition using modelling paste and added some glitter paste to some of the areas for a little shine.

8. In the end, created more shading in the background using the distress crayons and added white acrylic ink splatters. 

I hope you are inspired to play along with the challenge :) 

Thanks a lot. Stay Blessed!  

Thank you Preety for this gorgeous inspiration.
