Word Cloud - Art Journal Page

Hi,

I am here today sharing another page from the art journal I made for Tejal. While making this journal, I wanted to make a word cloud with words that best describe Tejal. Tejal is many things to me - a friend, a philosopher, a crafter, an inspiration and much more. I wanted to capture some of these feelings. So I got brain storming with Saumya about words that can best describe Tejal and some of the words that Saumya suggested were "Cheese-licious" & "Tea-rrific" as Tejal loves cheese & tea. Tejal also loves Amish, the writer, hence Amish Lover with a heart ;) She is an amazing card maker and very very frank. So putting together these and a few more words, I created a word cloud on MS PowerPoint and used it as a focal point on this page.

Saumya had told me that Khushboo's favorite motif was anything that was colorful and around the same time that I was making this art journal, I had purchased the Dylusions Paint Pens and the Simon Says Stamp Ornate Background Stamp. So instantly I decided that I am going to use the stamp to create a colorful motif and color it in using the Dylusions Paint Pens to create the background for this page. This background was so beautiful in itself, that I didnt have the heart to adhere the word cloud directly on this stunning background. Hence, I used a vellum paper to adhere the word cloud over this stunning background.

• Little Birdie 2 in 1 texture paste (used as gesso)

Steps to Create:

• Create Word cloud in Powerpoint and take a print on 300 gsm card stock. 
• Apply gesso on card stock/ chipboard base and set aside to dry.
• Once the gesso is dry, stamp the Ornate stamp with VersaMark ink, cover with black embossing powder and heat set it. 
• Color the design using paint pens. Make sure all the powder is set and wipe the surface with a dry cloth before coloring as any powder residue will block the paint pens. 
• Cut Vellum to the size of base chipboard. Apply texture paste through stencil with help of palette knife and sprinkle with pixie dust.
• Adhere the word cloud on vellum with glue.
• To finish the page, adhere vellum to the base page on one side.

Dotted Floral Cards

Hi All,

Dot painting or painting with small little dots of various size has always attracted me and I have been wanting to try it for a long long time. Finally, when I recently brought the Dylusion Paints the vibrancy of the colors compelled me to finally take up dot painting. Though I have a long long way to go, I had great fun creating these cards using Dylusion Paints. I also got inspired by the colours (orange, blue, pink, green) and image of flowers at the Catchy Challenges to create this card.
