BASIC PROCESS
I took a handmade journal, which I planned to use as my art journal, and covered its cardstock cover with black gesso. Then I attached the chipboard wings and the head figurine to the front cover. The chipboard is easily glued with gesso, the figurine is attached with a thick layer of PVA.
Then, I applied the texture to the cover, using the black texture paste and the stencil.
After everything was dry, I added some shades of color and shimmer to the cover, using Lindy´s Gang sprays.
Later, I covered some parts of the cover with gilding glue and attached some gold foil here and there. Then, I colored the gold with purple spray, which looks just stunning on the golden metallic background.
I also decided to enrich the background with text stamps, using golden and black embossing powders.
As a final touch, I added some black microbeads around the front figurine, and brought out the texture on the cover, using white gold art wax.
When the cover was totally dry, I spayed it over with a glossy acrylic varnish to make it more durable.
