Εδώ είναι ένα οπότε ότι είναι καλύτερο για ευκολιγές και θα δεις εμένα με αυτές τις 2 θεστοί μέχρι τις παίδες σήμερα, για να μπορείτε να δείξετε πώς they look. One of my favourites from this thumbset is this one of course, which has kind of the same design as the stencil that I showed you previously, but you still get many more borders that you can play with. I believe that the stencil is less than $6 and you can use it again and again throughout your adventures in Argentina Link and those thumbsets are about $10, so I think that they are a great prize for everyone who is starting out. For my pages I'm going to work on watercolor paper. I like this pad by Agba Marlin. It is a nice thick watercolor paper that I have been using for a while now and I know that it takes mediums nicely. I like the size of it, it looks pretty much as the front panel of a card so you can easily make a journal or turn these panels into cards. Now I'm going with 5 pages since I think that I can fit those in a less than 30 minutes video today. And form the coloring of the background so I'm going to play with the stress oxides. When you are going for a vintage look you can never go wrong with oxides since they never dry super bright and they give that chalky old finish. I have already picked a few colors and I'm going to do combinations of two for all these pages and every time I'm making a page I'm going to tell you which colors exactly I'm using. I'm just working inside the box that I get from packaging and here I'm using white honey and fired brick. I'm going to move quickly with the background since they are just backgrounds you will see that they're going to look nice at the end. I did spray a little bit of water to have those colors blend better and I'm going to move on to the next panel. This time I'm going with speckled egg and shabby shatters. As I am working through those pages I'm going to work with warm colors or cool colors but in any case I'm just mixing two colors in every one of those panels. And of course at this stage I don't even know which are going to be the focal point I'm just having fun creating backgrounds. Now that was the new color salvaged patina and I did mix that with vintage photo. And let's move on to the fourth one This time I'm going again with salvaged patina but with shabby shatters just because I want to see how this combination works. And finally for the last background I'm going with fired brick and vintage photo. So I have the first layer of color on all my backgrounds I'm going to make sure that everything is dry and you will see that they are not going to dry as bright as they look at the moment. Of course you can leave them to air dry if you want to and in the meantime you can cut out some images from the pages However I'm too impatient I just want to see how it looks so I have to use my heat gun and make sure that everything is dry so that I can move on to the next steps for my backgrounds. So here is what I have up to now and now let's play with stencils For the stencils this time I'm not going to use any paste I'm just going completely flat with ink and just because I'm really really in love with this border that looks as if I have teared off the page from a spiral binded book I'm going over it with black ink This is distressed ink by the way but you can use any black ink that you like and I'm going to repeat the same effect on all of my pages on one side Now since I have all those different patterns on this stencil I'm going to use all of them in my pages So again with my blending tool going over some areas I'm never creating rectangles or perfect circles I'm just going completely organic here I don't mind if I end up having some smudges here and there or if something isn't perfect or even if the stencil moves If there are any mistakes or imperfections just embrace them This is only a background after sticking on top the focal points and adding all the extra elements like the quotes etc you will not be able to see what was going on and all the mistakes and imperfections on the background We are just going to play with stencils and with stamping later on to add some interest back there but at the same time it's not going to be very busy Now notice that here I'm going with black for all the images of the stencil This is something that I don't normally do as I don't want my background to be very vibrant and however in this case it does work I'm not adding too much Just notice that I'm mainly adding 3 elements here and there Again on all the pages I do add that edge on one side When I also made sure that I used all the different designs of this stencil throughout the pages so you can have a chance to see how they look Although these are going to be separate pages however they are going to be part of the same project and that's why I like to repeat some elements on all the pages like this edge for example with black ink This way the whole project is going to look more coherent at the end If you are just starting out with a journaling and you don't have any stencils I think this is a great one to go with because it has designs that can be used again and again they are really versatile Now what I'm doing is darkening up the edges This is something that I always like to do It helps to bring the eye towards the center of the page For that I'm using my number one favorite and most used color which is vintage photo and you can never go wrong when you are working on a vintage look and feel project with vintage photo obviously Now I did sped up the video but in any case I'm doing that really quickly I don't pay attention to the blending and you can probably notice that I have splotches there Nothing looks smooth but it really doesn't matter this is not a card this is an art channel background and you will see that at the end at the finished photos you won't be able to see any of those splotches Now let's move on to the next step and this time I'm going to do some stamping I'm going with a tech stamp and I will use my archival link for that I'm using a stamping block today but I'm also making sure that I don't stamp complete squares I just like to have things organic Maybe it is easier for you if you are just starting out to stamp with just with your fingers without the stamping block just to make sure that you will end up with imperfections By the way the stamping block that I'm using works for this technique just because it is very thin and I can easily bend it so that I don't end up with perfect rectangles and what we are doing is adding visual texture at the background I do follow the same steps on all my backgrounds I do make an effort to keep the style coherent throughout all the pages and now I'm moving on to the other stamp set the one with the borders so first I'm going with the row of a little dot just adding mainly at the edges and I will repeat the same process on all the pages again and then I will move on to another stamp of these borders I'm going with the row of tickets and again I'm going to do some stamping on all the pages one more time and after all this stamping and all the stenciling that we did on these backgrounds you cannot really see anymore the imperfections that I had from the quick blending around the edges it's really fun because the more layers you add the less you see of what is going on at the background however the texture, the visual texture and the interest is still there you can go ahead and do more stamping if you like, I'm going to stop here but that's enough and now I'm going to do one of my favorite techniques I'm going to add white splashes for that you can go either with white paint that you dilute with water you can even go with jazz or dilute it with water I'm going with a paint spray and I'm just going to use the nozzle and go for it the white splashes that you add are not going to stay super white and vibrant since they are going to react with the stress oxide things underneath but you can add that extra detail that I wanted so here are all the backgrounds I close up on all of them I'm going to loop those aside to let those splashes strike completely and I'm going to work on the focal points now the way I work with those pages is just browsing through them and stop on whatever draws my eye so here I like this lady and I think that the lady is screaming for wings and I also even have an idea so anyway let's start with the first page I'm going to do my fuzzy cutting here I like to separate roughly the image that I want to work with from the main page and then I put on the music and just do my fuzzy cutting taking my time fuzzy cutting is part of the process of my art journal link and I really enjoy that too so I never rush usually I have my favorite playlist on or sometimes I even listen to audiobooks while I'm doing the fuzzy cutting the truth is that the images aren't so difficult to cut out always make sure to hold the scissors still and move the actual paper this is going to make fuzzy cutting really easier for you and take your time it looks as I'm doing everything super quickly in the video but really not this is in fast forward if there is white space like between her arms and her body in this example you can even use your craft knife but I never do that I just go along and cut it out it doesn't matter if you cut through the image at the end of the day you are going to glue it down and no one will ever know now that I know which is going to be my focal point I'm going to show you how I choose on which of the backgrounds I'm going to stick it on so let's start with the image first which is in black and white this means that it's going to look beautiful in pretty much all of my backgrounds it really stands out no matter where I place it but when I add the wings here for example they don't stand out as much because they have similar colors as the background so I think I would better go with one of the blueish ones or the greenish ones you see that really stand out against the background even better so randomly I picked one of the greenish ones and I'm going to glue everything down now in terms of composition I don't usually like to have my focal points at the center so I usually shift them on the right or on the left doesn't really matter in this case I'm going to align here shoot case with the edge of my panel and at the same time I'm going to have some wings coming out of the page which is something that I usually like to have focal points going out and cut them out it looks more interesting as if there is something going on outside of the page one trick that I usually do with my cutouts is to tint them slightly with the same color this way they look more coherent than they are going to look as if they are part of the same image so here I'm using a blending tool that is black to get rid of the white edge and I also did another blending tool this one with a vintage photo all around here just a touch only tint them at the edges this is a really small detail but really makes a huge difference on breaking all the different elements that you cut out from different pages together they look as if they are part of the same project at the end when you are having people who are standing if you don't want them to look as if they are floating a good idea is to add a piece of paper at the bottom here I just used a piece of washi tape you can also cut out anything that goes out of the page or you can leave it as it is if you like to have things sticking out and I would just a matter of adding a quote for my page I always like to go with quotes this time I went with a journey is the destination I'm using a sticker booklet by Tim Holtz for today but you can print out your stickers or you can even stamp them or write them down with your own handwriting or write them down with smaller pieces and then the final step is to bring in my white gel pen with the white gel pen I'm going to outline the quote and I'm also going to add some highlights here and there on all the cutouts when you have your sprays out and the box and you go for all that mess you can make many of those pages and create a lot and lots of backgrounds this way you will have a bunch of them ready to go and then whenever throughout the week you have some time to be creative but if you are spending too much time you can just cut out a couple of images stick them down and you have a page ready to go another thing that you can do if you want to is to go with a black pen and outline the cutouts this is not something that I usually do I just normally forget about it or even I don't really care but in any case if you want to do it just go for it it is a detail that really helps the cutouts to pop against the background even more so here I decided to go with this funny guy and in the same vintage page there is also a moustache as well as a hat you can separate him completely I'm going to use him as a photo but I will repeat the same steps but I'm not going to go through them in detail so again I'm using my scissors to fuzz cut images from those vintage pages and then I did tint them all with vintage photo as well as go to read of that white edge but specifically I'm going to use him as a photo make my life easier when it comes to fuzzy cutting and in this case I like that white border all around the photo I'm going to tint it with vintage photo so it's not going to stay as bright but at the same time I think it adds a lovely frame so I am keeping it so here you can see I have a bunch of images that I cut out all of them are from the vintage pages and it is time to put my page together I did use my crop attile to add a couple of holes wherever it was needed instead of fighting with my scissors and this is where I had the idea to go with a theme for this mini vintage project so although all the pages are going to be vintage they are going to have a theme I'm calling this one wings and hats so all my people and pets used throughout the pages are going to have either a hat a wing or both of them Don't ask me why I just come up with such ideas while I'm working on pages and I think that it made it even more fun to put together as I was trying to follow that theme The face of this guy makes me laugh and I did had to add a moustache on him as well as a hat at the top and I went with one of the quotes from the sticker booklet by Tim Holtz that says I want to behave but there are too many other options and I think it really matches this set designed beautifully To embellish my page a little bit more I did cut out a few tags a couple of tickets and I'm just layering them I also wanted to add some extra texture that's why I tied a little thread or at the end of the tag and I'm going to stick down my quote again cutting it into smaller phrases and on my think with my white gel pen some close up photos on this page and let's move on to the third page for today again I did my fuzzy cutting I do have a guy I have more elements like bulbs for example to dress up my page and I'm using my crop attire again wherever I need to add some holes I'm going to stick him down and again I'm not going to stick him at the center of the page just a little bit off towards one of the sides and it's really easy to put these pages together the only time consuming part is just fuzzy cutting out the images but they are really fun to put together and create your little scenes so this one here kind of has a steampunky look as well as vintage I'm going to stick down a couple of bubbles coming from the top and also I did cut out a few numbers for the quote on this page I went with ordinary people so extraordinary things after sticking them down again I'm going to bring in my white gel pen outline the quote do the highlighting just like I do always and here are some close up photos on the third page for today now in this little mini art journal I do have 4 pages with people so I do have to make a page with a pet and I couldn't resist to this adorable dog he is wearing a hat as well so he is perfect for my theme again I didn't want him to float so I did cut out a ruler that was included in one of the pages and of course I'm going to give him wings you can have some dimension if you like with the wings I do add glue only at the base so you can have the tips lift it a little bit then to make my composition more interesting I did cut out more elements from those vintage pages like a clock for example or a little tag I do have some vintage dried flowers and a few stars and I'm just going to stick one on top of the other creating layers and interest for gluing everything down today I'm using my white glue and this is a new to me glue that I have been using for a couple of weeks now this is the burly art glue it is nice because it is quite runny very fine tip so it is perfect for detail sticking down images I don't want to use my gel mat medium here since it is probably going to make a mess with the background because any medium that you add on top of that distressed oxide ink is going to react with it so it is a good choice to go with a glue that is not going to create a mess and the fun part about this glue is that when if it is out it does dry clear and it is not shiny at all so this is one of the elements that I am looking for when I am trying to choose a new glue for my projects anyway always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder one of my favorite things to do and I find a really big joy in it is to try and match sticker quotes with pages and it is just like magic there is always something in those sticker books that fits perfectly with any page that I make and here are some close up photos on my wonder dog with his wings and his hat and finally let's move on to the last page for today here I am using a photo with a lovely lady and since this is all about hats and all the images that I do have a hat on top you can go with unexpected hats you can use anything on top of them here I am trying to use a flower instead of a hat and I decided to go with a bigger one I am just going to cut it out slightly smaller and I like when I have elements going outside of frames or images just like here so I was really happy with the result I am going to turn it around until I find the perfect position and then of course I am going to get rid of the white edge by using a black ink I am going to tint slightly all the images with vintage photo to bring them all together and stick everything down in those vintage pages you will find a huge variety of wings to work with there are many many butterflies for example and even angel wings so I did go with very small ones here just for the fun of it and I didn't use the one with the polka dots so I am going to to publish this page with the rest of the big roses and for the quote I went with b, u, bravely fearless, independent and original and finally just like always I am going to grab my white gel pen and add some highlights outline the quotes as well as add highlights mainly of the flowers it really makes a difference it helps them pop even more so here are some close up photos on the last page for today but before I say goodbye I am going to show you how I put this little book together by using the disk bound system so I do have this happy planner punch and I did punched out panels of cardstock that are bigger than my actual panel so that I end up having a border now you can use black cardstock for your black panels or just use white paper that you have on hand and color it in with your paints but this way I don't have to punch holes on my actual project and at the same time it keeps the whole book nice and neat because you cannot see the back of the pages which are quite dirty for all the spraying and working on top of them there is a huge variety of disks in the market you can find metallic ones like the ones that I am using today, you can find plastic ones in different colors and sizes so here is a quick flip through on all the pages that I made for today I hope that this video was helpful that you had fun and that you got inspired just like always you will find a full list of all the supplies that I used down below in the description area thank you all so much for watching today don't forget to leave me a comment and to like it really helps and I'll see you all next time
