art journal

Today I am back with a fun art journal. Using lots of techniques for the background and sharing many tips along the way.

I worked on my 6×6 disc bound art journal. My focal point is a Bloody Mary cocktail, and it’s from the Tim Holtz -Cocktails Blueprint( SBC | SSS ) stamp set. For the background I used Dylusions sprays. If you wonder what colors I used you will find everything linked below the video.

Can you see all the texture at the background?! It was easy to achieve with the Tim Holtz – Distress Resist Spray ( SBC | SSS | JGG ) over a stencil. It’s not only the lovely effect that it gives, it’s also textured to the feel!  It resists the dylusion sprays and the result was awesome.

I also did the ghosting technique, lots of stamping and splattering to get this amazing background. You can see everything demonstrated in the video.
