Human Heart Part 2

Hi friends!

our theme at Sandee & Amelies Steampunk challenge 
 Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial
I was so excited that it necessarily had to be a second art journal spread.
Do you remember on my first sites to one of my favourite songs?


Tutorial - texture and resist effects -

some of you have asked me, how I did
the worn (peel) effects

1. old bookpages glued with decoupage paper glue
2. primer = white gesso with baby powder, so it's more solid and dry
3. use an old credit card ( possible even with old paint soiled ;-))
and pick up the color slightly again



brown stains with dye distress ink walnut stain

I drippled this distress ink and sprayed with water, let it run
together with resist effect from white gesso emerge darker and light, shaded stains







Happy crafting!
Kerstin

  1. Kerstin, I am loving these pages you have been doing lately that are rather monochromatic. It's just cool how the absence of color can do as much as the use of color. That broken heart is awesome!
