2020 Topic 17: Day And Night
Making creative decisions is often a challenge, but it's good that Claire pushed through and created a delicious double page with superb contrast. The night and day sides are highlighted by some lovely painterly effects.
~ Keren.
Hi everyone, it's Claire Snowdon here with you today, and I'd like to share with you a journal page I created using the current topic of Day and Night.
This topic really challenged my creative thinking! It took me a while to get this idea of a double page spread into my mind's eye so that I could show both night and day on the same spread, so I'm hoping you like what I came up with!
I used my square 8x8 Dylusions journal as I felt a square page would be better suited to my idea. I started by making a circle in the centre and then creating the 'day side' of the page and the 'night side' of the page.
For the day side I used Paperartsy Fresco Finish paints in Banana, Tangerine Twist, Smoked Paprika, Tango and Red Lipstick.
Then for the night side I used Cerulean, Eggplant, Pea Coat, Midnight and Little Black Dress.
To add more depth to the pages I went in with the splatter - white Posca Pen on the night page and PaperArtsy Fresco Gold paint on the day side.
I also added some shading around my circle and the page crease using a Stabilo All pencil in black.
Next for all the stamped elements - I used PaperArtsy Eclectic Tracy Scott stamps from sets ETS01, ETS29 and ETS43.
Everything was stamped using Versafine BlackOnyx, fussy cut and a very small amount of pale colour added. On the feathers I used a small amount of Fresco Finish Aqua Duck Egg, Slate on the border and some watercolour pens on the flowers.
For my circle with the quote I chose only to edge in using Distress Black Soot.
I added all the stamped images to my pages - then just added a final bit of shading here and there and a Distress Black Soot border around the whole page to frame it.
Considering it took me a little while to get my thoughts in order for this page I am so pleased with how it turned out! I think it really represents my own ideas of night being soothing and restful versus the warmth and floral elements of the daylight hours.
This quote on ETS29 is one of my all time favourites and I felt it really summed up my whole page and brought the two sides together. I do hope you also join in with this topic and reflect on what day and night can mean to you too.
Thank you as always for looking,
