 Α εδώ λοιπόν και you may know who I am from Ardieluza! Hello everyone and welcome back to another mixed media Tuesday! Today's inspiration comes from the stampereia-ser vagabonde collection by Anton Zenithakis. I did use this paperbub in a previous project that I shared. But I do have so many more ideas on how I can use some focal points from this pad. So I'm going for it today! For my project I will be working on the smaller journal by Diluzie. δεν μου πινάω, δεν το χρειαζα να το χρειαζω, καλύτερα η πιο ευκολή εξοδοστασία που χρησιμοποιηθώ. Θα πω να πω με την εξοδοστασία μου και η εξοδοστασία που αγαπησώ να χρησιμοποιηθώ είναι με αλτινού, αυτό είναι πολύ καλύτερο και σύνθετο, αγαπησώ ότι το κυρίζει, το κυρίζει την σύστηση και στον τόσο time είναι πόρους, οπότε όταν παρακολουθώ στον εξοδοστασία, το παρακολουθώ. Τώρα όταν έτσι μάθαρξε στο στένσελ κλίνινο, πρέπει να κάνω σωστά να κλίνω τα στένσεις μου όταν χρησιμοποιηθώ. Μπορώ να μεταφαίνω με σχέδια, αλλά με στένσεις πρέπει να πρέπει να κλίνω τα στένσεις πιο πολύ. Ενώ τα στένσεις δηλαδή μπορεί να κλωξούν όλα αυτά τα στένσεις και θα σημανήσει να σημανήσει το συγγραφό. Η στένσση που χρησιμοποιηθώ έχει καλύτερες γεωματικές σχέδια και είναι από την ίδια στένσεις στένσεις μεταφαίνησης. Επίσης εγγραφώ τα στένσεις από τα δύο σχέδια. Τώρα είναι δύσκολο να δούμε, επειδή είναι σύντομα βακά με βακά, αλλά πιστεύω ότι είναι εκεί, λαυλή δηλαδή και θα σημανήσει να σημανήσει πιο καλύτερα όταν χρησιμοποιηθώ τα στένσεις στο στένσελ. Τώρα, θα παίρνω να παίρνω με στένσεις. Αυτό είναι one of my favorite techniques for background lately και φυσικά, όταν θέλεις ένα βίντατς να δείξεις τον σχέδιο σου, δεν μπορείς να πει καλύτερες όταν χρησιμοποιηθώ τα στένσεις γιατί they end up quite dull and with a chalky finish, which is perfect for vintage projects. Για αυτόν τον σχέδιο σου εγγραφώ την νέα χρησιμοποιηθώ και αυτό είναι σαλβατσπατείνα. Και φυσικά, εγγραφώ να μιλήσω με βίντατς φωτο. One of my most used colors on my craft room. If you move your hand as you are spraying, you will not get those circles. However, didn't mind here. I just wanted to have more concentrated color on specific spots. That's why I did it this way. And I'm also going to add some splashes with the same color. Remember, this doesn't have to look perfect. It's going to look just fine when you add all the layers on top. Now my first layer of color is dry. I'm adding more splashes, this time with salvatis patina, mainly on the brown areas. And if you're not happy with how that looks, you can always go on top of it and add even more spraying. However, I'm just going to stop here and I'm going to do some stamping. This time I'm using a text stamp. I like this one because it looks like a newspaper. Great design. But I'm just going to use part of it. Any text stamp for this step would work. The fun part about this specific text stamp is that it is super huge, which means that as I stamp on top of my page, the ink is going to go only on top of the embossed areas, which is going to give a lovely look. If you press too hard, you will get some stamping on top of the actual page. However, most of it is going to stay on top of the design and it's going to bring it more to life. Now also notice that these big rubber stamps designed by Antonis are made for mixed media. That's why they don't cling. They are made so that you can easily hold them. They are pliable. They are flexible. So you can easily get organic looks by stamping them. So here for example, I want to have that part of thick text at the center and you can see I can easily fold the stamp, manipulate it to make it work for what I wanted to do. By the way, I did all that stamping with Jet Black Archival ink. Here is a close-up look where you can see how that stamping brought that embossing detail into life. Another way to do it, if you want to have it more prominent, is to go over it directly with your ink pad. I'm not going to do it for this project since I like it the way it is, but it is an option for you. Now just like always, I want to have a darker porter. That's why I'm going with black suit all around the edges. I'm going to ink them up and I like how this step kind of frames my project. The more projects you create, the more you will find that some of the techniques are giving you more pleasure to play with. And this is when you are actually finding your very own style. Just find the techniques that are out there that give you pleasure and are pleasing to your own eyes. Now I'm happy with my background so I will start working with my focal points, the inspiration for today came from the quote that says not all who wander are lost. And I want to somehow bring that to life so for the world lost I think it is perfect to use a compass. And at the same time I want to have a travelling vibe on my page so I'm going to work with winks as well. Now I am looking for a compass which is quite big. There are many through this scrapbook pad and I decided to go with this one. I like to have big focal points that really make a statement on my page. And I want to have winks for my compass so I'm going through that pad there are many winks in different sizes. Some are smaller, some are bigger I decided to go with this one. I think it would work perfectly for my design. So I'm going to do my fuzzy cutting I will go around the wink and the compass but then of course these two focal points for a two page spread aren't enough I need to add something extra on the other side and this is where I decided I'm just playing with the elements and I decided to add here some Polaroid photos for that I'm going to use this square tie and I'm going to go through again that paper pad and try and find little snippets of the paper pad that I can use for my Polaroid photos while at the same time having that vibe that what they were photos of a journey. Now all my paper pads I treat the front the cover of the paper pad as if it is a normal paper and I'm never afraid to cut out little elements from there I like that in the front you usually get the same designs on the inside but smaller and that little town worked perfectly for me since I want to fit it inside that little square. So here is what I ended up cutting out I do have a part of blue paper which is going to work as a sky for my little town I do have one that has a blueprint of a steampunk train and I also have a snippet of a map I'm going to ink up all my cutouts just to touch a tint of the same color on all of them is going to bring them to life it's going to bring them together So I'm doing that on the photos as well as on the wings and the compass I'm also going to go around the edges making sure that I don't get any white edge This is going to help those cutouts to stand out more against the background later on Now for my Polaroid photos I did use a square inside a rectangle and I'm just going to use some scrap of white paper to cut out three of those Of course this doesn't look like a Polaroid so much However I'm going to use my paper trimmer and chop off a little bit from the bottom I couldn't find a rectangle die that would make it wall from the beginning and of course I did eyeball the first one just to make sure that it is pleasing to the eye and I'm repeating the exact same measurements for the second two so that they look identical Now the square die that I used for creating my Polaroid is slightly smaller than the square die that I used to cut out the pictures so I can now stick one on top of the other and it's going to stay nicely there and I have my first Polaroid photo I'm going to repeat the same process for the rest In a project like this one if you want to reflect more of yourself and to tell your own story you can always use your very own photos just print them out and put them at the back there Of course the Polaroids at the first stage looked too white to clean for the rest of the project so you need to ink them up somehow and add a little bit of stamping here and there just to help them come together with the rest of the elements Now I happen to have this border stamp set and the stamp that I'm using now has the same design as my background where I did that stenciling A good trick is to repeat the same patterns throughout the different elements of your page because it brings all the elements together Now of course you can go with your text stamp that you did on the background to bring the elements together Now here I'm also going to use a stamp that has a compass on top Again repeating the same concept since I will have the compass on the other page on these elements just little details that bring everything to life For example I would never go with a flower stamp since I haven't used any flower anywhere in the page Again inking up the edges making sure that I don't end up having any white borders there And here is the fun part about creating separate elements for your page Once you are happy with them you can play around with the composition and when everything is pleasing to your own eyes then you can go ahead, commit and stick them down Now I do repeat that in many of my videos but I still get a lot of questions about it When I have an element that goes through the fold on the other side I always like to cut it in half and then stick the other part on the other page After many years of creating elements and sticking them along that fold I have found that this is the best solution it keeps the elements in place and at the same time it doesn't add bulk on that fold Also notice that I'm not adding too much glue I don't want to have glue all over the place just a little bit is going to do the trick trust me those elements don't want to go anywhere Now from the same parapet I did cut out a few more compasses in different sizes I will stick them throughout the page in different areas mainly around the polaroids just to embarrass them a little bit more and to bring that compass design element on the other page as well If you want you can also stick some of them on the edges on the borders of the page I didn't like the look so I decided not to Usually I videoated all those parts out but I wanted to show you Struggle with composition sometimes So just keep on playing with the elements until I'm happy with their placement and let's add the quote For today I like to emphasize the word WONDER I used the alphabet die from Waffle Flower which is called Retro one of my favorites I keep on using it again and again on my projects lately I am going to stick down the letters and for the rest of the quote I'm just going to use a sticker from his sticker booklet So I'm cutting out the parts of the phrase that I want to use and I would like to somehow nest it in between the letters So here you can see it is nested before the letter D and then the other part at the bottom and I wanted to have some sayings on top of my polaroid photos to dress them up a little bit more That's why I went with great adventure travel the world and tell the story Of course I have to do my thing with my white gel pen just highlighting the letters I did outline the stickers I'm going to add some highlights on all my cutouts including the polaroid photos the compasses, the wings doodling with the white gel pen or highlighting all your cutouts is going to give them the same detail which is one more element that helps them come together If you did use a map to all the places you have been or to places you want to go just put yourself into the page I like to do that and have Easter eggs on my page that's why I'm going to draw a line from Cameroon to Grease since Cameroon is where I was born and finally let's add some white splashes to finish it off for that I'm using the acrylic paint by Dina Weekly and at this stage I don't mind if the splashes will go over the cutout elements I think it is yet another detail that is going to be the same for all of them and it's going to bring them all together and I'm going to call this project done Here are some close up photos where you can see the details better just like always down below in the description area you will find the full list of all the supplies that I used Don't forget to like this video if you had fun watching and to leave me a comment I read them all I hope that you had fun that you got inspired Thank you all so much for visiting today and I hope you will have a lovely day
