Time for another challenge at Creative Artiste this month. The theme is anything goes as long as it is Mixed Media and can be an ATC, tag, card, layout, altered art or an off-the-page project as long as you follow the challenge specifications. You must use more then 3 different mediums on your project to qualify for our mixed media rules.
I decided to make an mixed media/altered art journal book.
This is what I started with an small watercolor art journal
Background
I painted my cover of my art journal with gesso and then added strips of colour for my background. I chose the colours so that they would peak through my black and white Stamperia butterfly rice paper. Once the paint dried I decoupaged the rice paper to the art journal. I added stenciled flowers and gold leafed the edges on the book. To complete the design I created a paper flower and attached it to the elastic that went around the art journal. I added splashes of paint and green mini beads
