Forevermore- Art Journal spread

I got really inspired today! My mojo was gone since few days and I had no slightest idea what to do. But just few days ago I got 4 small bottles of new, completely unknown to me powders, which I ordered out of curiosity. They are called Infusions by PaperArtsy and they are waterbased coloured stains. And this morning I decided to read a little about them. I tried them ad I love them so much! Can’t still completely master the technique though, but I will improve:)
And on top of that I had a look at the PaperArtsy blog where I found a great tutorials and explanations about masks and masking techniques done by Darcy. One I found particularly lovely- tutorial by Heidi Swapp. I did this journal page inspired by this tutorial. I used hearts as a masks, variety of stamps (unfortunately I have no stamps from PaperArtsy, and they have a really nice collection), but I go by with what I have:) I used Distress ink (black), to outline the edges of the masks to make them pop a little bit more and, of course, I used Infusions: Orange County and Lemoncello. I need to work with them more to see all the different effects they can give, but I would like to see with my own eyes what is the difference between them and Magical Powders by Lindy’s Stamp Gang. Anyway I am in love with both of them:)
So it’s obvious that with this page I must enter the challenge on PaperArtsy blog:)The challenge is Masks. And since I have still two more colors of Infusions, I will try to do sth else with them:) So hopefully, if times and sick children permits, I’ll be back soon with another project:) Till then!:)
Zostałam dziś nieźle zainspirowana:) Moja wena twórcza, a raczej jej brak, w ciągu ostatnich paru dni dała mi nieźle w kość. Parę dni temu dostałam przesyłkę na którą czekałam trochę z mieszanymi uczuciami. Kupiłam na ślepo 4 pudry w proszku. Nazywają sie Infusions od PaperArtsy i są to w wolnym tłumaczeniu wodne colorowe plamy:) Podejrzewam, że po jednym użyciu już się w nich zakochałam:) Nadal mam braki w wiedzy na ich temat, ale mam nadzieję, że się uda w miarę szybko to nadrobic.
Zwiedziłam przy okazji blog PaperArtsy i okazało się, że mogę się z niego wiele nauczyc. Instrukcje z jednego video bardzo przypadły mi do gustu (Heidi Swapp– jak używać masek przy stemplowaniu), Tą stronę Art Journalu zrobiłam właśnie zainspirowana tą lekcją video.Użyłam masek w kształcie serc, różnistych stempli i tuszu Distress do wytuszowania brzegów. Jako kolory w tle użyłam oczywiście moich nowych nabytków: Infusions- Orange County and Lemoncello. Muszę koniecznie więcej z nimi popracować by umieć perfecyjnie osiągnąć różne rezultaty:) Jestem też ciekawa jaka jest dokładnie różnica między nimi a Magicals.
Oczywiście biorę udział w wyzwaniu PaperArtsy pod tytułem Maski:)
Love the colours on this and how they contrast with the black. Infusions are great fun. I don’t use mine nearly enough. You have inspired me! xx
Thank you so much Julie:)
