Hello dears!!!!!

Hope you are fine. My GDT project with a magical theme is called"Make -a-wish". It is an art journal cover page theme and the style is a mix of steam punk and vintage fusion.

Step by step picture tutorial is as follows:

Step1: Paint the base of the art journal cover with bright blue chalk or acrylic paint  after adding cheesecloth on the base of the art journal cover page.

Step2: Create an abstract geometric  stencil pattern in the three corners of the art journal cover with an abstract geometric design  stencil and modelling paste.

        

Step3: Paint the main focal elements and other matching elements with black gesso.

Step4a: Paint the supporting elements with bright red chalk paint as the moodboard colours are bright blue  and bright red .

        

Step 4b: Apply metallic bronze wax to all the project  elements to give a 3d effect.

Step 5a: Arrange the elements into a single  composition after sticking the jigsaw puzzle pieces on the base  (these represent the fragments of the mind while it sees an illusion).Glue them with a heavy gel medium  onto the art journal page cover. 

(The tiny heart in the right hand corner of the page represents the  heart of the person which holds the key to open the lock of the mind. The large heart shaped lock represents the mind with a key hole).

        

Step 5b: Add mixed media mini decostones like a swirl shape (magic show symbol).

Step six: Add a quote"Make a wish" on the left hand corner on the circuit chipboard.

Step7: Add fine glitter of blue and red mix in different corners of the project to give a  sparkly magical effect.

Step8: Add blue and red sequins to give that extra effect .

Your art journal cover page is ready!!!

Hope it inspires you to create your masterpiece and participate in our magical August challenge!!!!
