Stepping it out ...

Today I thought I would share some more details about my latest range for Carabelle Studios with a few step by step photos of how I created my art journal page.

This page began as a mono-print on my beloved Gel Press using my latest Art Texture Printing Plate - 'Doodle leaf'. I deliberately created grungy layers by allowing the first layer to dry before adding more layers which gives a shabby chic kind of a look. (You can see my instructional videos for Gel Press *here* which includes lots of tips and hints for this kind of technique)

Although I LOVE colour, I'm not actually that keen on colouring in, so I always look for an easier alternative if I can! I stamped my angel onto my Gel Press background and then cut out the bits I wanted in pink and added it to my original stamped figure.

I'm very pleased to have some texture stamps this time as these are my go-to stamps for everything. First of all ... 'Grungy Patterns':

And also 'Leafline' which is great for adding random pattern to a background :-)

Later this week I'm going to Frankfurt to demo at Creative World EEEEEEK! Excited MUCH :-) I'll be with Gel Press and Carabelle Studio. If you're there too hope to see you!
