Art Journal: You Make My Heart Flutter (TTC8 challenge)

Hi friends,

I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day. I am back today with another Art Journal page for the February challenge at The Twisted Challenges: Valentine's Day + No Red/ Pink.

Its a blessing to be in love. That jittery, fluttery feeling that you feel when with your loved one is what I have presented in this simple & fun art journal page. If you ask me what are most favorite techniques to use when creating an art journal page, I would say they are Inking, Stamping & Doodling. As this page is all about Valentine's day and love, I have combined my top 3 favorite techniques to create this page.

Spice up - An Art Journal Page: TTC#8

Hi friends,

January is already over and we have stepped in the month of Love. So the theme this month at The Twisted Challenges is: Valentine's Day + No Red/ Pink.

As usual I have created an art journal page. I have never had so much fun creating an art journal page as this one. The theme I choose for this page is Aphrodisiacs. I created a galaxy background and added various food aphrodisiacs (wine, strawberries, cherries, chilis, oysters, cream, grapes, chocolates, mint & Avocados) as focal point to depict pure & sensual love making. As we couldnt use red or pink, I choose to use images of white strawberries and cherries instead of pink/ red ones.

Steps To Create:

• I painted the background using Camel Artistic Acrylic Colours: Prussian Blue, Cobalt Blue Hue and Deep Magenta.
• Once the background was dry, I created splatters using Camel Artistic Acrylic Color Titanium White.
• I took prints of various aphrodisiacs or cut them out from new paper and adhered them on background using Camel Gel Medium.
• Once the page was dry, I stamped "Spice Up" Using Concord & 9th "Perfectly Penned" set using Versamark ink & heat embossed using Ranger Gold Embossing Powder.
• To finish the page, I adhered a print out of quote "Lets make crazy loving memories together".

I hope you love this page as much as I do. The last day to participate in the February challenge at The Twisted Challenges is 28th February 2018. Hop on to our blog to see other inspirations and know more details about challenge rule.
