Super Blue Blood Moon

     Did you see the Super Blue Blood Moon a few days ago? Unfortunately I missed the eclipse, but it sure did give me an extra boost of energy, and inspiration for my latest art journal page.



     I tilted the design in half, for the Fire and Ice Challenge @ Try it on Tuesday, giving the top half a coat of Prima's Heavy Black Gesso. Then I used Clear and White Gesso with some stencils all over my page, coloring each side with Lindy's and Distress Spray Stains, adding LSG Danny Zuko's Denim Magical Powder to the ice side. The flames were torn from colored tissue papers and adhered with Prima's Soft Matte Gel.


     
   
     Then I went over some of the gesso work with some of my new Emerald Creek Embossing Powders , which I absolutely LOVE!! To the top half, I used Chinese New Year, with Fractured Ice on the bottom, and Hammered Metal on both sides divided with the Bo Bunny Stitches Stamp.




     The date was made from chipboard, coated with White Gesso, and stamped with permanent blue ink to create crackles. Then I embossed it with Fractured Ice, using Hammered Metal on the silver dots.



     Such a fun page to create! Thanks for looking!

  7. Very cool! I love the Hammered Metal powder and you have used it brilliantly. I saw the moon, and I'm not sure I saw anything different about it. But I was also lucky enough to see the total eclipse in SC. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful page with us at A Vintage Journey! Hugs! Sara Emily
