This is my very first post for Cards und More Shop Blog and I'm either nervous and excited about this new adventure called Design Team!
Today I want to show you a junk journal page I've realized a couple of days ago.
First of all I've put some page together using Tacky Glue to have a thicker base to work with.
While I was waiting for everything to get dry I choose some images from magazines and then I've started to glue them.
When my first layer was done I've decided to put a coat of transparent gesso to seal everything and start to create some textures.
With some flowerish stencil and heavy gesso I've tried to create a sort of frame all around the page to enfatize the girl flowers crown and, then, I've also added some dots in the right bottom corner.
As soon ad the gesso dried I've applied some masking tape (I'm a bit obsessed, in every project I do I have to use it) where where I imagined to put the title and drywall tape around the pages to create even more interest.
At this point I've tought that was time to add mediums so I added some white gesso around the elements to connect them and then I've started to play with my Pebeo Watercolors and Faber Castell Gelatos.
The final touches was the date impressed with Stazon Jet Black ink and the title, made with Dymo label, "BLOOM YOUR MIND".
For this time is everything, I hope you enjoy my first project here and look forward to the next one!
