GD: Kate Yetter Project #3 Art Journal Page

"Hello everyone, Kate here with my last project as a Guest Designer for PaperArtsy. Today I am making an art journal page using Eclectica EDY07, Chatsworth Paper 12x12 and Fresco Finish Paints (French Roast, Pumpkin Soup, Guacamole)".

I started off by covering my art journal page with a vintage ad paper bag cut down to size. I painted the background with Pumpkin Soup, being careful not to cover the entire paper bag.

I forgot to take a picture in between steps because I was so engrossed in my layering. I cut a few large squares of the Chatsworth 12x12 Paper Collection and used a decorative border punch on one of the strips. I layered the papers and then used a palette knife to spread some gesso and Fresco Finish Paints (French Roast and Guacamole).

I used two stamps from EDY07 to stamp my background.

I sprayed two co-ordinating colored ink sprays down the page allowing them to drip.

I added a bit of lace to the background and then layered a few torn pieces of an old newspaper that we found stuffed in our walls during our kitchen remodel. A piece of ephemera and my photograph were layered on top of the newspaper.

Lastly, I stamped a few flowers and the birdcage from EDY07. I colored the images using Distress Markers and cut them out. They were layered on the page becoming the main embellishments.

Well that's all from me. I would like to thank Leandra and co for the opportunity to share my art work with you all using the fabulous goodies from PaperArtsy. Also a huge thanks to you all for your support and kind comments. I've had a blast.
