GD: Kate Yetter Project #2 Altered Journal {Part 2}

"Hello everyone, Kate here with tonight's project. Today I will be completing the back cover of my art journal that I started yesterday".

I started off by coating my back cover with a coat of Gesso. Once dry I brushed on Sage and Guacamole Fresco Finish Paints.

I then sprayed some green ink and allowed it to drip down the chipboard.

Using a palette knife, I sprayed a thin layer of Gesso into the centre of the chipboard cover.

I chose the castle stamp from HP1110 and stamped it directly into the centre over the Gesso.

HP1110

I used several coordinating colors of Distress Markers and highlighted the areas around the castle, adding water to my markers and painting with a brush.

Using a script stamp from HP1011, I stamped randomly over the chipboard cover.

So that is the back cover completed, join me again tomorrow evening to see how I altered the some pages for the inside.

Leandra Says: The gesso backdrop makes a great central focus for the stamped image, looks like a reflection off the water. Perfect for that particular image.

Gillian Says: Love the combination of paints, inks and gesso.
