Hello friends
We are sharing a new series called Mini Art journal Series. We are excited to share the first post of the series.
Those of you who know us or have seen our older posts know that we love to recycle and reuse stuffs. So, this art journal is also one such project. We have used an old mini diary as the base for the art journal. This was used to note the expenditures during our hostel days. We are so happy to put it into good use.
Let's dive into today's post.
We have a tutorial for you.
Materials required:
Mini diary/ Art journal
White gesso ( we used DIY gesso)
Paints - any type (Spray paints, watercolor)
Glue/ fevicol
Any stamp or image
Black cardstock
Black marker
White gelly Roll pen
Stencil
Dye ink pads ( you can use any coloring medium)
Blending foam
Scissors
Tutorial
1. Start by sticking together 3 papers. This will give some thickness and the paper will be able to handle the paints.
2. Repeat the first step with entire diary. Let it dry.
3. Apply gesso over the page and let it dry.
4. Apply watercolors or spray paints over the base. Choose 2-3 colors of choice.
5. Using a stencil, apply dye inks over the base.
6. Color your stamped image. We used dye ink pads to color the feathers.
7. Using black marker, doodle any design on the feathers. Fussy cut the image.
8. Write a inspirational quote with white gelly Roll on black cardstock. Cut them into strips.
9. Now comes the final and fun part, that is assembling. Place the image and quote over the base and see to your liking. Now paste them using glue.
Ta da, your mini art journal is ready.
Hope you enjoyed our tutorial and will give it a try.
