Mixed Media Journal: WOW Embossing, Lindy’s Gang, AALL & Create

Hi Crafty friends! I am excited to be back today to share a recent journal page with you! I have discovered journaling and I love everything about it! I love to create in my journal and I am enjoying this new crafty process! So let’s get started!

I started with a blank page in my journal, with texture paste, a stencil, and WOW Embossing powders.  I placed the stencil over the top of the page and added paste in various sections.  I generally like to create 2 focal points, allowing for some “white” space on the page.  I applied the paste and then removed the stencil. Next I sprinkled Perissa Embossing Powder over the top of the wet paste.  I then heat set this using my WOW heat tool!  Next to add more color and dimension to my background I added Lindy’s Gang Magicals to my journal page. I used the Totally 80’s collection: Cowabunga Copper and Midnight Rendezvous. I apply these using water. I add a bit of water to my page then apply the magicals and continue to build layers.   I then set my journal aside to dry and work on the other elements.  Once my journal page is dry, I did add some ledger ephemra to the page as well using a glue stick.  

I stamped an image from AALL and Create onto Fabriano Hot Press Paper.  I used set #621 – Filaments and Feathers by Bipasha BK. I just adore this set! It truly is so fun to create with. I then heat set the image using WOW Embossing Powder in Clear Gloss.  I then colored the image using watercolors.  I allowed each layer to dry and once dry, trimmed the image with my scissors.  I then die cut some Hexagons using the Sizzix Stacked Tiles.  I added archival ink to the edges for more texture.  
I added some metallic splatter to the background as well as some Starburst Sprays from Lindy’s for more shine and texture.  I used: Iceberg Azure and Marwhall Navy.

I then decided on placement for my hexagons and the light bulb stamp.  I glued down the hexagons with liquid glue and then added some back twine for more texture.  Next I glued my stamped image and added some pre-made sentiment strips.  I then added some white splatters, as well as gold to my whole journal page.  I had so much fun!
