I made these pages in my Dylusions art journal, but I think I will have to limit myself to Dylusions. There are so many pages here, and with the acrylic paints and lots of embellishments the journal will simply get too think. It's starting to tear here and there alredy and there are only some 11 or 12 spreads in there. Anyway, I just love this romantic spread.
I started with gesso and then painted the pages rather unevenly with blue acrylic paint and here and there added a touch of brown. Then I stamped the entire background with brown Stazon and a Tim Holtz vintage tekst stamp.
In the corners I used texture paste and a large Glimmermist screen. When completely dry, I rubbed metallic pearl and green paint on with my fingers.
I painted Chipboard letters first and then stamped the same T.H. letterstamp. I then added scrappapers here and there accross the letters and finally added glossy accents to make them shine. Because I felt the letters didn't pop enough against the background I added darkbrown lines around them.
And a detailpicture of the Prima flowers I used which I gave a pearl heart. In the background you can see the paper I used on this spread. So, this one is again totally different from what I have been doing lately, but I just love to make entirely different things. Making all the same things bores me LOL!
