Faces

Morning Friends and Crafters, late again. So sorry got that much on at the moment and sadly the back up blogs I did before I came to the UK are all published now, so it's one at a time for a while, so do bear with me. Today I am sharing a Journal/Scrapbook page, again this could easily be resized for a smaller card or even scaled down to make a really nice ATC. Like I always say, it's all about having fun.

You will Need:

Craftascope A5 Media Stencil 'Trent'

Craftascope A5 Media Stencil 'Xander'

Craftascope A5 Media Stencil 'Bailey'

Craftascope A5 Profile Media Stamp Set 2

Rice Paper, Printed and Stamped (Totally your Choice or a mix)

Selection of Stamps- Here I have used Paper artsy, Indigo Blu, Sheena (again your selection)

Selection of stencils (Your Choice)

Funky Foam

Indigo Blue Townhouse Teal, Pantry White,

Eco Paints Cranberry & White mixed Your Glass Mat

Black Gesso

Old Stiff Brush

Creative Expressions Glue n Seal or Similar

Step 1: On your journal page use the face stencils to add some part faces, Trace through with a HB pencil, go over this with a 6B,blend and shade with the Pergamano blender from Clarity. (Video coming soon)

Step 2: Next use section of your chosen rice paper to add more interest, depth and layers. I have used some printed and some stamped for this project. Use Glue N Seal or similar to add them.

Step 3: Stamp your profile stamp in the top left hand corner to overlook the page and bring your eye in to the centre. Start to build up more layers with your chosen stamps.

Step 4: Next start adding some of your acrylics to really bring everything together. You can always re stamp if you cover up something you want to be seen, it all adds more dimension to the finished project.

Step 5: Continue building up the layers, using the acrylics, stamps and stencils. I always find 3 colours are best to bring things together. To make the '3' I drew it onto Funky Foam and cut out with scissors. I then mixed some Cranberry and white together on a mat, spread out with a Brayer, Stamp the 3 then use the same colour to add some more stenciled design. Once again, if you cover something you want to be prominent, you can re stamp. Finally using the old brush and black Gesso, I swiped back and forth around the edges to give a frame to the project, This brings everything together and highlights the black stamped designs.

Another thing, here is a 30% off voucher to use on your first order (anything) from Hochanda, use code FEY5JBP7.
