 Γεια σας, είναι Vicky, εδώ, με το νέο αρχιστό σήμερα. Ενώ θα δουλειώ στον αρχιστό σύμφωνα, και θα ξεκινώ με ένα αρχιστό και φαίωρον τεκνική, πρώτας θα αφήνω αυτό το τίσο πέμπρο. Αυτό το τίσο πέμπρο έρχεται από ένα ρόλ, από την Τυμ Holtz, αλλά είναι ένα αρχιστό πρότακτος και είναι τώρα ανοιχερό. Σε όχι, μπορείτε να δημιουργείτε το ίδιο εξέγερο, αν χρησιμοποιείτε ένα σχέδιο, ένα τεξ-σταμπ και παίξτε όλον από το αρχιστό με το στήριο και το δυνατό εγώ. Μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιείτε έναν πίτα μικρό τίσο πέμπρο και σχέδιο εκεί, και όταν είναι πλήρες με το έρχο, θα μπορείτε να την χρησιμοποιείτε στον αρχιστό. Παρακτάσαμε ότι το τίσο πέμπρο εξέγερος καταλαβαίνει καλύτερα, και χρησιμοποιείτε Ματ Μινδουμ. Και να παίρνω μετά τις αρχιστόι και το Ματ Μινδουμ είναι καλύτερο και γρή. και then going to use my scissors to cut out all the excess paper. For coloring my pages. Today I'm going to use this one's been whichifically fluid acrylic paints and I want to prepare my pages by applying little bit of jesso. I am using Faber-Castel Jaco which is very thin as you can see it doesn´t cover up all the texture on my background and this is exactly what I want. Για να χρησιμοποιήσω το μυαλό μου, θα χρησιμοποιήσω αυτές τρεις διαφορές τροπές της σημερινής κατασκευής και θα χρησιμοποιήσω τα πράγματα που έχω που έχουν το δάμβερο στον κόσμο. Πιστεύουν με ένα φλίπτο που σημερινά είναι τα τρία μεταξύ, αλλά μπορείς να φύγεις να βρεις αυσοπές μετά, αν θέλεις και μπορείς να εξατήσεις. Είναι όλοι πιστεύει με το που θέλεις να κάνεις. Οπότε, μπορείς να βρεις ότι θα παρουσίζω ένα πιστό κόμπιση με τη δάμβερ, και then blend everything together with my fingers. I don't apply too much paint. Notice how little paint I apply. So this makes it easy for me to blend everything and I can build up the color layer by layer. If you add too much paint in the beginning, you don't know how to blend everything together. So this is the first layer and I know that it looks awful, but I am going to make sure that this is dry so I have something on my page. And then I'm going to go ahead and do the same technique again on top. This time I decided to use a darker green since the one that I first used didn't look so bright. And then again I am blending everything with my fingers. You can use your baby wipes, but make sure that if you use baby wipes, they are not too wet. Otherwise, the only thing that they do are moving the paint up and down and sometimes they even wipe out the paint. One advantage that I have when I am blending everything with my finger is that I end up with a very smooth finish. And now I'm going to add a little bit of color with my brush just to add more brightness in certain areas. Now notice how I haven't lost the text from the tissue paper at the back. I sometimes get comments that I don't make mistakes or that I am mess-free when I am working. Well, there you go. You see that I'm not a mess-free at all. I do have accidents all the time. In any case, when things like that happen, you see I don't panic. I just pick up the paint from there and then instead of wasting all that paint, I used my brush to color another background so I have something started for a future project. To add more interest on the background, I'm going to use the white stress paint by Tim Holtz, which is called Picket Fence. And I'm going over this stencil. The stencil is by Carabelle. And I am just adding a little bit of texture on my background. I think this stencil is just beautiful. It gives a beautiful result. And really organic and random. So I am going to add this in different places around both of my pages. And you see that I don't add too much paint. I just want to have the texture there, but I want it to be very subtle. As always, you can find the full list of all the supplies that I'm using today down below in the description area, as well as on my blog. So now I'm going to do some splashes and these are going to bring everything together. I am going to use my distress paints again and I'm using the exact same colors that I used for my background. I am adding some water on my paint to make it even more fluid. And with a thin brush, I'm adding the splashes. You can see that the splashes are not very vibrant and blend nicely with the background, just like I want to. I don't want my backgrounds to be very bright and steal the thunder from the focal points. So after doing that with the green, I am going to repeat the same process with the pink and the yellow. Now that the splashes are ready and everything is dry, I am going to use my black marker and go all around the edges to create a border. This is one of my favorite borders that I keep doing again and again because I find that they frame my projects beautifully. And my background is ready. I'm going to put that aside and show you the stamps that I'm going to use for my focal points. So I'm going to use those adorable guys as well as one of the hearts and one little pebble. Now, both of those stamps are by Carabel. Carabel is a company from Europe. They are actually from France and their products are also available in the USA through Simon Says Stamp. And I'm going to make sure to link you down below in online shops both in Europe and in the US. So all I'm doing now is using my distress paints with brass and applying a little bit of color on this scrap paper. And then I'm going to stamp my images on top. I am doing that because if I first stamp and then color, I might go over the lines and I don't want to lose the details of those guys. So I have colored using mainly colors from the rainbow order. Of course, you can use pattern paper to do so and just paper piece. I decided to create my own colors. Also notice that I am stamping some of these images to eyes so that I have a nice big company of those guys. And also notice that I am stamping everything with black archival ink and that's because I want to make sure that everything is permanent and nothing is not going to smudge or smear as I'm working and sticking them down on my project later on. I made sure that the ink was dry and then used my scissors to cut all those images. I took my time. I love cutting out so I don't mind really. And here are all of them together. I decided where everyone is going to go and now with my matte medium I'm going to stick them down. As I am sticking them down I'm going to make sure that I go over them with my matte medium and that's because I am going to use a certain technique the technique that I use most of the times with my big brass markers to add some shading. And now it's time for my favorite technique the technique that I find that it always brings everything together on my pages so all I am doing now is adding a little bit of shading with my big brass markers on all the elements that I have stuck down. Now I am able to do so and smudge the ink with my finger just because I have used matte medium on all of those images. So I am just using a darker marker than the actual image and I am smudging it with my finger. I'm going to do the same thing for all those little images. This ink dries permanent and you can go back again and again and build up the shading as much as you want to. One question that I get all the time is why I have a washi tape at the end of my markers and that's just because I take my markers on my live workshops and this is the only way I can tell them apart from my students. So now that I am happy with my shading I'm going to give my balloons a string and a little bow and then if you notice the eyes are not white so now I have to add some white all around those eyes just to bring them more to life and I am doing so with my white gel pen. I am going all around the details of the balloon with my white pen and then I am going to use my white gel pen and do another technique that I really love and add some highlighting on all the images. And I'm going to use a quote about friendship today that says friends make the good times better and the hard times easier. So I think this quote matches perfectly that cute company of happy little guys there. And I'm going to stamp a letter by letter only some of the words so I want to stamp with bigger alphabet letters the words that I want to emphasize so I'm going with bigger letters for the words friends better and easier and in between them I'm going to use my label maker to print out the phrases. The alphabet letters that I am using are by Tim Holtz and they give a distressed look if you see they are not bold and that's how they are supposed to stamp but since I want to have my phrase nice and bold I am going all over them with my big brass black marker and just fill in the gaps. Now I'm going to use my label maker write the sentences, print it out. I thought that this font was quite small so I'm going to go a little bit bigger and I'm happy with how that looks. I'm also going to write down the second sentence and then I'm going to print that out. Now these are stickers so I'm going to peel off the packing and stick them in between the stamped words. I always like to mix things up just like I am doing here and either mix up fonts or sizes so that I can emphasize some words more than others. And now my quote is ready there. I'm going to go over those stickers with my matte medium just to make sure that this is not going to peel off when the time passes. And another favorite technique I always like to use my white gel pen and go all over the letters. I think that this gives them some highlight and it helps them pop from the page. I'm also going to go around the stickers with my black marker and make some lines and this is going to finish the page for today. I hope you had fun and got inspired and if you did don't forget to leave me a comment as well as give me thumbs up on my YouTube channel. Here are some close-up photos of my art journal layout today.
