My Black journal - She lived forever

 Hello dear friends!
Today I'm presenting a special project I created for Finnabair CT,
doing wonders with Art Alchemy paints and an unexpected 'art supply' on my black journal.
I hadn't made any page in my black journal for a while and I really missed working on black background!
Of course I went for something colorful as usual, with a vintage touch and a photo from the Ephemera Vintage Collectibles helped me a lot to create this special 'olden days' atmosphere.


As I wanted to mix modern and vintage styles, I decided to create a peeled paint effect background.
First thing to do was to seal my page with the Clear Gesso.
In order to create the background I used my favorite shades of Art Alchemy paints and...Vaseline! That's right! Vaseline is oil based, so it resists the water based paints and creates the peeled effect. It is a very pleasant technique, you will see the whole fun process in my video below.


When my acrylic paints were dry, I used the Clear Crackle Paste (which is lately turning out to be my fave product) right onto the paints and let it dry naturally to get perfect results. I absolutely love the final look!

To embellish my page I used 7 Dots Studio stickers and some handmade butterflies I created with the 'Don't forget to fly' cling stamps set and black embossing powder.
I also used a couple of chipboard pieces which I painted white with Heavy White Gesso.

Last thing to do was to doodle on the photo with a black pen and make some splashes with the Art Alchemy paints and White Gesso.

Here is my video with the whole process. I hope you will enjoy it and get inspired. :)

  3. Questo fenomeno ci porta all'entusiasmante e alquanto peculiare Alsta Nautoscaph Tag Heuer replica Superautomatic. Alsta era solo uno dei tanti marchi di orologi svizzeri che furono soppressi negli anni '70 a causa Patek Philippe replica della crisi al quarzo. Questo sarebbe, nella maggior parte dei casi, la fine della storia, ma Alsta Audemars Piguet replica aveva una cosa da fare. Il suo orologio da immersione Nautoscaph è stato messo in risalto al polso rolex replica di Matt Hooper nel classico film Jaws. Quando il marchio è stato riavviato dall'attore scozzese Angus McFadyen nel 2014, ha orologi replica affrontato la reintroduzione del Nautoscaph con la nuova versione. Questo non era l'orologio Jaws, tuttavia. Avanti replica rolex veloce al 2019, quando Alsta ha svelato il Nautoscaph Superautomatic.
