Good Evening Folks
It is Eclectic Paperie's challenge day...Julie has asked us to us Gel Medium.
Be sure to check out her video over at eP it's a great Tut :-)
Here is my take on the challenge...
I used the gel medium all over my journal entry...too blend my colors, to adhere my lady and flowers and to seal my pastels on my lady's face.
I used pastels, Pitt Pens, various Claudine Helmouth Paints, Gesso, Sprays and Gel Medium.
I am sorry I do not have a step by step of how I created this journal entry...once I got into creating this lady I just went with it.
However let me know if you are interested in a Video Tut on this pretty lady and I will be glad to do one :-)
I started my journal entry with matt medium and Tim Tissue. I covered that with Gesso then colored it with Various Spray from Tattered Angels. While that dried I started my lady on another page with the plan to cut it out and add it on.
Here is a close up of this lovely lady. I used my Pitt Pens, pastels, colored pencils, and paint to color her in.
I also finished the other side with flower punch outs that I used as stencils as I sprayed and then used the flowers themselves.Tim Holtz rub-ons finished that side off.
Be sure to check out eclectic Paperie for all the other great team entries!!
Be sure to enter your own creation for the chance to win a prize!!!
Hope you can come out to play with us!!!
