Break Out in Song - art journal page

Hello dear friends!

I'm back with a new art journal page I created for Finnabair CT.

My last art journal page is already placed in my Denim Journal and makes me really happy when I open it and the first thing I see are these beautiful colors.I always love to incorporate a variety of colors on my pages. It just cheers me up and makes my day every time. :)
The Art Alchemy acrylic paints come in such yummy shades and I can't resist to use almost all of them in my projects.
So, after I used the Heavy White Gesso to prime the page, I started by painting with my favorite colors using a paint roller.
When they were dry I used the 'Bubbles' stencil to create some round shapes here and there with the Rich Turquoise paint.

Then I grabed a black permanent pen and wrote the lyrics of my favorite song 'Other People' by LP.

I used Clear Gesso to seal the text, just to be sure that it won't come off in the next steps.

After that, I painted with some White Gesso here and there to blend the colors and the text with the white background.

I also used the black pen to add some doodling here and there...

Then I dealed with the bubbles. I wanted some spark in there and the Sparks Acrylic Paints were perfect for this effect.

I used three of my favorite shades: Raven Black, Iris Potion and Mermaid Sparkle.

I also used the Mystic Turquoise and Amethyst Magic Antique Brilliance Waxes to achieve an even more shiny result. I realy love how they turned out.

I used a small tag to write down a quote I found on Pinterest and decorated it with these cute Mechanicals Wings, a button I had in my stash and thread in different colors.

Last thing to do was to make some splashes with the Black Gesso to add a bit of contrast.

You can see in my video below how I played with all these delicious colors and how I build this page.

The sound of silence

Hello dear friends!
Today I'm sharing my second project for this month I created for  2Crafty Chipboard blog.

'The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between' - W.A.Mozart

This is an amazing quote I always have in mind when I'm playing the piano.

As a musician I love making projects about music, so I decided to make one with this favorite quote of mine. 

For my page I used the word "love" as the main title, which I cut from the love border.

I really like the calligraphy style of it and I think it has the perfect size for the tittle.

I altered it with black embossing powder and placed it vertically to much the whole vertically flow of the page.

 I also used some pieces from the 6x6 'Moroccan Panel' in order to give texture and interest to the background. I absolutely love this design. It matches with any kind of style and it is very easy to cut it in pieces and use them on your projects. I used black and white gesso and silks to alter them.

This big key from the 'Vintage Keys' set was the perfect embellishment to complete my composition, because it represents the key of perfection in what has to do with music.

I painted it with African Jade silk, my favorite color, and a little bit of black and white gesso.
