This week for my design team project for Visible Image I have created an art journal page focusing on mental health. Visible Image have so many great stamps that can be used to offer emotional support to those we care about, and this particular set- Don't Judge, is one of my favourites.
It's been ages since I have used my gelatos so I decided to dust them off for the background of my page. I first applied a layer of gesso to my watercolour journal and once dry I randomly scribbled some pastel tones.
I then blended these with a wet wipe .
Rather than adding colour through the Supernova stencil, I wanted to stick with a gentle feel to the page by lifting some. A gentle rub through the gaps with the wet wipe helped to achieve the soft look I was aiming for.
I then took the How Fragile stamp set an stamped the cracks in blue. I didn't get a perfect impression as I was stamping on watercolour card and didn't use a stamp press, but this wasn't a problem as I planned to cover the centre over anyway.
I stamped the images I wanted to use from Don't Judge onto the page, and also onto some co ordinating inky card stock, which I then fussy cut and adhered in place.
Some black outlines around the images help them to pop. I also added some black ink splats to finish.
