While I was making my last digital journal page, I was also experimenting
with some images from Craft CD's. as well as the My Craft Studio program I usually use.
Now I am definitely not computer savi so this did take me a while to suss out.
I have taken the courage to share a couple with you.
These are the print outs of a two of them,
I did have to trim them down a bit before sticking them into my 7 x 10 inch journal.
By this time I realised I had forgotten to save the page.
The digi images I added are from Flights of Fancy[Crafters Companion]
I was quite happy with how they looked at this stage and that the baby had showed up in the background.
I toned the colour down giving it a wash down in places using diluted white gesso.
Some added random stencilling using acrylic paints, and joy of joys I was back again with messy fingers.
Then I re- coloured parts of the images with water colour paints
This is how they look together, the handsome son and his Mom.

Good grief Yvonne is there no end to your talent? Digi remains a mystery to me, a friend has a card program that bill loaded onto the desktop & has used maybe 3 times in 6/7 years & ive never used....

Beautiful pages Yvonne, love the images. Does your ink not run when you start putting gesso on top?

I use a heavy paper to print on Valerie and leave them overnight to be sure they are dried out. I don't have the brush too wet, its always well blotted on kitchen paper. So fingers crossed no problems as yet.
DeleteI love these pages Yvonne, the images are fabulous and I like the way you have added paint and stenciling after printing them. The colours are really lovely too.

ReplyDeleteGoodness, these are terrific, so many layers and such a lovely result.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you have combined digital and "real art" and your painting of the stamps is so skilfully done.
Amazing artwork made with lot of fantasy.

So clever to combine the digi works with your messy-fingered crafting! Love the result - and so cool that the image of the baby is hovering there too...
