La Vie en Rose

Good morning, today I'm sharing a step by step guide to how I created this art journal page using papers and rice papers from Stamperia.

To begin I created two areas of white gesso. These were approximately square.

Next I decide which elements I wanted from the La Vie en Rose rice paper. To remove them from the sheet I went around each one with a wet paintbrush and then carefully tore them out.

Then I cut some elements out from the House of Roses paper pad.

I returned to the background and applied picket fence distress ink through the Bee Crafty text 6" inkable.

I added the rice papers using distress collage medium.

I added texture paste for some dimension. I used Bee Crafty's 6" distressed diamonds inkable.

I added white splats using the tube inside the Dina Wakley white gloss spray. 

I then added the elements I had cut out from the paper pad, but decided not to use the tag, but some flowers and leaves from another paper in the pad.

Finally I added a Bee Crafty Transparency Prints sentiment from the Creative Words sheet.
