I wanted to keep this page simple, and let the quote speak for itself. So I printed a moon image from the internet, and painted myself a giant wave! Here you can see the texture left behind by the thick paint and the variations of paint color. I love the contrast of the copper embossing powder on the sea foam greens.
Here is a final glimpse at the Journal Page. You can see the moon peek-a-booing out of the far left corner. It is hard to tell what it is at first glance, but I know what it is.
I really believe that you have to sometime make a few waves to make a difference in your life every now and then. If we move through life afraid to shake things up, then we never seem to get anywhere. This page will serve as my reminder to not be afraid to ride one of those waves and see where it takes me! I hope you enjoyed this page. Thanks for hanging out with me today, I hope you had fun, and learned a few new techniques.
Thank you to everyone who came out to watch the Ustream live last night. We had a lot of fun creating this beautiful tag.
In this show, I shared with you the technique that I used to create the roses seen in the background of the tag. Isn't this just scrumptious all by itself?
Here you can really see the details in the painted flowers. I decided to decorate the tag with a scene using Prima's Parlor Resin pieces. you can see here how the flowers in the scene match the ones in the background, offering a beautiful 3D effect.
Don't forget to use those scraps when creating floral clusters. This tag project has a few remnants that I found in my stash. A small piece of lace is used as the screen in the window, a small stem from a floral spray, half a piece of metal filigree is just enough to tuck into the edge of my spray, and the butterfly was actually punched from the branding strip of apiece of wood paper packaging.
Adding a little glass glitter mixed with glossy accents, really helps to add sparkle to the shadows, and bridges the gaps between the embellishment cluster elements.
Want to see how I created this beautiful tag from start to finish. Here is the video recordings from last night's show. I was interrupted briefly by a lighting storm, so the show is broken up into two videos.
I really love all the details on this tag. This painting technique would make an amazing background on all of your projects. See if you can create one similar and share it with me in your social media outlets by adding #FollowingTonyaGibbs, or tag me on Facebook. I love to see what you create!
Thanks for stopping in today,
