Today I thought I'd share a page I made last week in my art journal. As I mentioned before, I don't often share my art journal pages since I do them just for me, but I'm really digging this bird I put on this page and so I'm sharing. ;)
Here's how the page looked when I was just starting out.

I'd already gesso'd it, did an book-print image transfer, painted the green background, painted with some bubble wrap, and did some teal drippage.
On the enclosure I had already gesso'd it, did the book-print image transfer, and then painted it a couple of shades of yellow.
Next, I stamped the birdcage onto the enclosure.
And you know what goes in the bird cage...
Now, she looks cute like that, but I wanted to kick her up a notch. So I grabbed my Zig Emboss Writer
and carefully colored her in. Then I added some "sterling silver" embossing powder
.
And then of course I had to use my heat gun on it to melt the embossing powder.
Wallah! Now she's shiny silver!
The only problem is, she looks like she's outside her cage....so I just took my black pen and drew the bars back in.
Ok, I also did the background pages...and words. ;)
Here's some close ups of the flowers in the back ground. They are all Hero Arts stamps.
Also, if you look closely in the scallop border I doodled, you'll see circles in the center of each scallop...you can't tell in the photos, but they are nice and sparkly green thanks to my Zig Wink Of Stella glitter pen
