Collage, stencils with gel medium

I started a journal spread before Christmas, got very busy and only finished it end of the year.

It started with gluing down serviettes and strips of leftover scrapbook papers.

 

I then stenciled and stamped over the pages, and applied gesso here and there to tone it down.

Next I added gel medium through stencils, painted the areas with sparkly paints, added some oriental fabric pieces and images.

 

My first post for the New Year, 2014. I will continue on this journey, and hope you do too.
Cheers!

Journal pages for September 2013

These are a few pages I have been working on in my daily art journal. I try to use my journals for any new techniques I have read about or discovered whilst doing some other art project. There is no end to the fun involved!

Fashion Plate

Paperdolls from the newspapers, and some serviettes - also buttons and inks for stamping on the right hand side. The tree is from a box of spritz boards.

The Light Fantastic

I was playing yesterday with my tissues and serviettes, and this page emerged! Aren't serviettes grand to play with? just glue and tissue...how freeing is that?!? I used about six different serviettes (parts of them).
The image (wine label) on the left page is a transfer using clear mactac.
