Mission Inspiration November 2017.

Well hello there!

For this step by step I have been using the art journal prompts from the Mission Inspiration Facebook page, they are also on YouTube if you need a few more ideas where to start, Hop over and have a look, its great fun!

I will go through each prompt and explain what I have done for the prompt, if you would like to see the original prompts without my step by step swing by their Facebook page.

1. I got a piece of craft cardstock, then ripped pieces of newspaper text and applied them across my page using matt mod podge( I LOVE MATT MOD PODGE) !

2. Next I used my Picked Raspberry distress ink, I smeared it onto my glass mat and added water to it. I then brushed the ink all over my page.

I then dried this with a heat tool before starting with my Cosmic shimmer paint.

2. I used my cosmic shimmer paint down the left side and bottom of my page, I didn't apply it carefully as I wanted brush strokes for texture.
I again dried with a heat tool.

3. Once completely dry I used my Cosmic shimmer chalk cloud ink, I used the vanilla colour. I applied this to my page with my fingers, I dab my finger into the ink pot and touch it to my page making a dragging motion. Dry again.

 

4. Now I used some super thick slap it on ( which I am in love with lately) with some cosmic shimmer pixie powders. I mixed the pixies into a small amount on my glass matt. Then using a palette knife, spread it through a stencil in random areas across the page.

5. Time to add a focal image, I recently coloured this in one of my colouring books and cut him out. I thought he would really pop against my journal page. I applied him with pritt stick.

6. To add my splatter I grabbed my 'Silver dream' pixie powder which I mixed into some water. I then used a paintbrush to flick this onto my whole page. Dry again.

This is where we are up to...

7. Time to add some borders, I used white gesso with my palette knife and scraped it round the edges. As you can see this was far from tidy but I really enjoy the look it gives.

8. The last step was when I added some pink sparkle pen round the edges, I added this over my white gesso once it was dry.



This completes my Mission Inspiration piece for November 2017.
