Happy Thursday! I've been playing in my art journal again, to create this page featuring the Dream, Beautiful Butterflies, and My Sunshine Rubber Stamps from Red Rubber Designs!
I started by adding lots of texture to the background, beginning with a piece of cheesecloth adhered with Prima Marketing Soft Matte Gel. Then I added strips of lace and trims, a couple of small keys, and some pieces of Tim Holtz Chains, and covered it all with Prima Marketing White Gesso. Once it dried, I colored it with a few Lindy's Sprays (Tiffany Lou Blue, Delphinium Turquoise, and Afternoon Delight Denim). Then I used my Stamperia (Steampunk Mechanism) Stencil with Prima Marketing Patina Effect Paste, applying the blue and brass with a stipple brush, to create the gears and bigger keys. The diamond/stars were done with the Bo Bunny Stickable (Oh My Stars) Stencil.
Additional texture was added to the background, chains, and cardboard with Prima Rust Pastes (Brown and Red).
The main image and "Dream" was stamped with the Dream Cling Mounted Stamp using Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink, and embossed with LG Midnight Pewter EP onto white cardstock, colored with Lindy's Sprays (Tiffany Lou Blue and Delphinium Turquoise).
I used chipboard for the rest of the title, embossing it with LG Hyacinth Blue Jade EP.
Then I went over the letters with Patina Effect Pastes.
All of the flowers and leaves were stamped with the My Sunshine Stamp, and the butterflies with the Beautiful Butterflies Stamp, all embossed with LG Midnight Pewter EP onto white cardstock, colored with LG Sprays (Pineapple Paradise, Hag's Wart Orange, Cajun Carneliun Red, Steampunk Sepia, and Ponderosa Pines Olive) and one Magical (Rowdy Rizzo Red from the Go Greased Lightnin' Set).
