Today I am going to show 6 ways that I made easy background papers using supplies that you might already have around your craft room!
Well, we're not quite there yet, but only a couple of more days till 2015--so an early Happy New Year everyone! And I thought of starting the new year off with a small tutorial. First--the finished piece-- But let me back up, and show you how I started. I began by getting out my paints and art tools and warming up by painting papers on heavy card stock paper (110lb paper that I get at Staples office supply store)-- there's actually a lot more where these came from, but these are the ones that I chose for my 'palette'. As far as the techniques I used for these papers--there are endless step-by-step tutorials on you tube--if you put in a search for art journal backgrounds--you'll find them. I also have tutorials on painting papers on my blog here-under the tab "Tutorials". A lot of my favorite little tricks are ones that I discover by just fooling around or by accident--the happy accident. And I also want to add my Gelli Plate--my new friend! This is what I do to get me warmed up, and what I really enjoy doing, but there's no reason why you can't use scrapbook papers--or any decorative papers that you may have. I worked on a 6 x 12 wood cradleboard with deep sides, which I decopauged with book pages-- I like working on the wood surfaces, because they're easy to stamp on and adhere papers to as opposed to the wrapped canvases, and I wasn't sure at the time what I was planning on doing--but again, this is whatever your preference is. Next, for my background-- I got out my inktense blocks--these are great--a very intense watercolor stick, but I used gesso (any gesso, it doesn't matter) instead of water--I like the effect that you get when you use the gesso. Also a little acrylic ink here and there--this was the first layer. Next layer-- I added a bit more acrylic paint here and there and some tim holtz tissue paper on the bottom with added color. There's no right or wrong--I could have kept going with the layers. So someone on my Facebook page requested a cat piece--and that's where the cat idea came from. First thing I did was make my 'template'-- And then I cut up the blocked-out segments of the cat and numbered them--making it much easier to cut out the same pieces with my paper-- ...kind of like a puzzle :-) So next--assembling this 'puzzle' on my cradle board-- my kitty with some daisies I just use regular gel medium to adhere all of these pieces. next step--the fun part-- bringing everything to life.....I wanted to define the different papers, so I used my new Fude Ball pen. I recently discovered this pen--nice dark black, writes over basically anything, and permanent when dry. I also used some acrylic paint to shade the sides of the papers. This is also the time when the organic process starts--no plan in mind--I just listen to my muse. I added the scrolls with the pen, the butterfly and the Imagine stamp. The finishing touches-- some brads for the flower centers, and..... don't forget the sides---I used a small flower stamp. And then I coated it with coats of gloss varnish--the gloss gives it that mosaic/stained glass look that I really like.
