All Dressed Up, New Releases, Tissue Backgrounds, Trees & Leaves
Determination by Heather McMahon
Hi, it’s Heather here. I’ve created an art journal page for the challenge over at More Than Words. ArtStacks is a sponsor there. The challenge this month is to use mark-making on your art journal page. You can even add your Word of the Year if you like!
Here’s what I made:
I started by adding the text to my page. This is from the new-release Tissue Backgrounds pack. I loved that the tissue allowed me to get right in to the inside edges of the pages, even though there was binding in the way. I just cut the tissue at the binding locations and the flexibility of it allowed me to push it right to the edges. I adhered it with gel medium and it looked like I wrote directly on the page.
I added some gesso over the top to blend it all in a bit more.
I had the digital files for the Tissue Backgrounds pack plus some ArtStacks tissue so I printed another copy of the same text page and adhered that to white cardstock. I could also have printed directly onto the cardstock. I used some old used alphas as a template and traced my Word of the Year.
Heather
