  Hey Everyone!!! I want to thank everyone for coming to my Come2chat on monday! It was a blast having you all and can’t wait until next Monday! On Monday I showed a few new techniques and did some more work on the Mixed Media Canvas we are doing step by step. Today I showed using clippings from magazines as our main focus in our journals.
  First I will discuss the background techniques. The first one I did was a very easy one, it was a resist background using white crayon. I drew all over the blank journal page and then painted over it, sprayed with a bit of water and wiped the paint off to show the resist underneath. You can do this several times with different colors if you choose to get a really cool effect.
  The next one I did was a crack effect. Cynthia had done this a while back and I loved it and wanted to reshow everyone and use it as a background. You first apply your background color and let dry. You then take white glue ( I used Elmers) and brush all over background AND while wet add your top color. It is so inexpensive, dries very quickly and results are almost instant!You can see the video here
  The third one I did was a graffiti type background. I took yellow, green and blue acrylic paint and just painted all over the page. Then I took a stencil (I used a piece of scrapbook paper that is already die cut) and sprayed Tulip Fabric paint in dark purple and pink on top. It came out so cool and can be used for so many different type backgrounds. I wrote Become Brave on it. That was message for the day! We need to Become Brave in our lives and try things we want to but are afraid to do! The video is here
  The Mixed Media Canvas video is here where we added papers and stamps.

  

  

  

  
  

  

  
  

   

   

• Creative Edventures Come2Chat July 18th Mixed Media Art Journal

  Hi!! On my Creative Edventures COME@CHAT  on July 18, I did 3 quick projects. My first project was 2 different ways to do a background on your Art Journal. The first one I painted both pages black and dropped white paint in scribbles on one page and closed the book. It made an awesome design! I then put the prompt on one side Live Your Life In Color, and the other side drew a small doll and glued them on. The video for this is here
  The second page I did the same way except I painted both pages yellow and then did purple drips on one side closed the book and then dripped blue paint to make drippies. I then took a stamp and stamped two times, on 2 different orange papers. I painted one with glitter and sparkles and the other with chalk. Placed them on a scrapbook background paper glued on and used the prompt “She thought she could…so she did!” The video is included in the video above.
  I also took a baby wipe with watercolors sprinkled on to use as background! I love this! Here is a short video showing this technique
  The last thing I did was started a mixed media canvas. Every week at noon est on Mondays at Creative Edventures Come2Chat, I will show a new layer on the canvas to get layer after layer to get to a great Mixed Media Canvas! Here is the video and some pictures below.Come visit us here at Creative Edventures every Mon-Wed- and Fri for Come2chat AND Monday NIGHT AT 9 PM EST for In the Zone with Roberta and Cynthia and Thursdays at Noon est with Amanda for In the paint Box!!!!!!

  

  

  

  
  
  

• Creative Edventures Come2Chat July 11th Quick Background Technique

  Date: 2011.07.12 | Category: Uncategorized | Response: 1

  This was a quick demo but one of my favorites. It is great for kids and adults and the only thing that can limit you is your imagination! You first take a foam sheet that you get at dollar store or kid section of craft store. I like the thicker ones but the thinner ones work just as well. I take a heat gun and warm it up and u can push a stamp into it. Once cooled you cover with a thin layer of paint or ink and press it on your paper or background. My other FAVORITE way is to get a ball point pen and draw on it…whatever you want! push items in it like the circled bottom of glue stick or any kind of texture you want or i just love to doodle all over it! The best thing is that you can use fabric paint or mix fabric medium into the acrylic paint and use it on muslin or cotton or any kind of fabric and design your own fabric!!!! How cool is that? I love using these sheets as layers in my Mixed Media paintings..it adds such interest and on fabric—AWESOME!!! I am going to one on my Intention (Prayer Flag) that Cyn taught us!!!!! Here are a few pics and the video can be seen HERE
