Hello everyone, I hope you are enjoying the summer sunshine....here is another challenge in for you to enjoy. I love a bit of paint, stencilling, ink, stamping on my page so your challenge is to get a bit messy with a layout - it must have some form of mess on it, so here are a few pages to inspire you to dig out your inks and paints.
This one you start with spritzing your page with water and then add inks and let them run into each other - the paper will crinkle, but flattens out in time in your album. There is also a little bit of stencilling with texture paint and inks on here too.
If you don't like too messy then go with a watercolour or paint effect patterned paper and just add a few flicks of paint to your page.
Maybe you want to create a serious mixed media piece with chipboard, embossing inks, stamping and use lots of paint and ink.
This is one of my favourite pages from this year - using my Christmas scarf for inspiration! Use a plastic bag (the sort that you get stickers and embellishments in - the smooth plastic ones rather than a sandwich bag), add a bit of ink from a water-based ink pad like distress ink flat onto the bag, then tiny spritz of water and use the plastic bag like a stamp over your page - remember to dry between the different colour layers (distress oxides work really well for this type of page)
Moving into the acrylic zone, and lots of paint and drying time - colour chipboard pieces, create thick layers of paint in your favourite colours and dry brush a background to co-ordinate....so very little water on this page (apart from all the brush washing!)
A little more acrylic paint - again dry brushed onto the page, but a brayer also works nicely for covering a wide area of paper with just a thin layer of paint!
Share your pages over on our Facebook page, I would love to see what you create! ATDML # Create Facebook Page
