If you have been following my blog you will have seen that recently I have been doing lots of mixed media.
This week I joined the Art Journal Challenge on Facebook - Create your First Art Journal in only 5 days. Well it's not my first Art Journal but it is certainly the first one that I have made like this in 5 days.
I have spent a lot of time in my craft room!

This was the state of play at the end of Day 4 - I got as far as this with these two pages:


These were pages of upcycled brown paper bag, that had had a thick layer of gesso added to them and then a stencil placed in this to give some texture. After drying small blobs of paint were added here and there and them 'dabbed about' with a baby wipe. Again the pages were left to dry and then the drippy edges were die cut.
Black Soot Distress was added around the edges - then the piece were added to black card and left for the next day.

Two pages that I completed were these - these started as pages with texture paste through stencils. I then added layers of Distress Ink and random stampings. 


The old photos were distressed around the edges both to look torn and with distress ink.
Finally I added the sentiments - the one on the right is Dylusions, not sure about the one on the left.


I will add these to Leigh's Linky.



Happy Crafting!

    I enjoy seeing the stages you work through! I love the drippy die cut edge against the black background paper! The old photos you chose look right at home on those fabulous pages!
