Art Journal Page 197

Hi everyone!

Well I finally finished this journal page! What a mission! I was determined to make this image transfer thing work and I think I've achieved it. This page was based on the Tag #6 Challenge - Image Transfer technique. You can check out the full process video on YouTube by CLICKING HERE.

I started out using the same stamp set and paint colours for this page as I used on the tag. I also used book text to transfer using gel medium, which worked out pretty good I think.

Then the crap hit the fan, so to speak LOL. I tried transferring printed images - fail!

I tried transferring a glossy magazine image - fail! Until I worked out how to get it to look ok.

Having Fun With Shipping Tags No.6

Happy New Year everyone!

Let's start the new year off with a nice quick easy technique! Today I thought I'd try my hand at an image transfer.

So, I started off creating a journal page first, using this technique, made mistakes and learned how to actually do the image transfer correctly LOL.

I wanted to use monochromatic colours so used some brown shades on this tag. Only because I wanted to transfer some old book paper using the image transfer. What I ended up doing with this tag was just to do the background, no other embellishments, so that I didn't have any ideas stuck in my head when I go to do a journal page based on this technique. I'm going to just do the backgrounds only for the tags from now on.
