Hello, I'm sharing a double art journal page inspired and following the tutorial given by Darcy on the PaperArtsy blog. It's all about using neutral colours and creating faux effects. It certainly was a challenge.
I've closely followed Darcy's steps, using stamps, paints, stencils and inks I have. Also I've gone with a more vintage theme using the IF I HAD WINGS stamp for my inspiration. Plus I've not got any Darcy stamps...yet. I think I spent more time choosing my stamps on this one. It took a while to complete doing it in stages, so with Darcy's handy breakdown I was able to do this with ease. My faux crunchy crackly paper effect and faux embossing effect didn't quite work out, used to much paint me thinks.
I really liked creating the faux tags and elements, and especially the paint resist, definitely learnt a lot and new ideas for further makes.
I've used a multitude of PaperArtsy stamps from different sets and minis, Fresco finish paints, staz on and archival inks.
