Tres Jolie Art Journal Page

 Hey everyone. Liv here and I am back with these Spooktacular collections for the month of October. I am huge Halloween fan so couldn't resist getting all of the kits this month. For this project i am using items from the Mixed Media kit and the Tag and Cards kit to create an art journal page. 

 

 

First up I sprayed a page in my art journal with the Mica sprays from the Tres Jolie Mixed Media kit.  I used my heat gun to dry off the pages. 

 Then I used one of the sprays and placed it on a stencil to use the stencil as a "stamp" for the background. 

I felt the background was getting too dark so I used the Distress Oxide crayons from the kit through the stencil to bring in a brighter color and to add texture. 

I then took one of my resin pieces out of my stash and sprayed it with the mica sprays and used the waxed crayons to add a more rusty finish to it. 

For the elements on the page, I fussy cut some pieces from the card/tag set, combined it with the rice paper and some die cuts from my stash. 

Finished it off with some splatters and then my project was done. 

Hope you all enjoyed this project. Be sure to check out the kits for this month as well as the videos that myself and all my amazing teammates create  

Tres Jolie September Resin Art Journal and Tag

 Hey everyone. Liv here to bring you not one but TWO project using this month's September Mixed Media Set.

 

 

My focus with these projects is one using the Mica powders that came with the kit. I created both an art journal page and a tag.  First I used my Mica powder in my mold before I set my resin. The powder is dry when I rubbed it into the mold and a simple paintbrush will work for this part. 

Once I did that, I poured some resin into the mold.  For the smaller flower, I mixed in the resin after it was made versus before to see how that effect would be.

 

 

I did not use fast setting resin so I had to wait 24 hours to use it. Then I moved on to making a quick tag. I took out my gel plate, sprayed it and then used one of my texture plate stamps and stamped onto the tag. 

 

Once that was dry, I added some rub on stamps and the smaller flower resin and sentiment to finish it off. 

 Next I moved on to my art journal page. Here I just stamp with embossing powder and rubbed the mica powder into the stamped areas.

For this one, the page came together very quickly because all I did was stamp and some stenciling and added some fibers from my stash. The show stopper for this piece was the resin piece I made that combined the mica powders.
