Journal page with Broadway Birthday

This is my second page in my art journal.

This one represents all our April Birthdays. We have 5 birthdays

in our own family and about 6 more in the wider family circle so

I thought it very appropriate to have a birthday page.

The Broadway Birthday stamp set and matching dies were just perfect

for the occasion as I love to add layered letters and shapes.

And of course with it representing birthdays we had to have some glitter

even though I HATE the stuff lol.

How I made this journal page

1. I made a wash using coastal cabana ink and water and covered

the outer edges of my page.

2. I then mixed grapefruit grove ink with gesso and using one of my

glass blocks I pressed the gesso ink mix onto my page and used a large

brush to spread and splodge about till I was happy with the look.

3. I then sprinkled some gold glitter on the centre piece.

4. Using the Broadway lights dies I cut the WISH out in fun foam and

then 2 more times in heavy card. I glued them all together

and added to my page.

This was then painted in the same gesso/grapefruit grove colour and left to dry.

5. I cut 5 candles x 3 each and the same for the flicker.

Layered them together, added to page and painted in a wash of coastal cabana

and gesso and so saffron and gesso and left to dry.

6. With the leftover coastal cabana and gesso mix I sponged around the edges

of my page to make it a little darker in colour.

7. I then stamped all my bits using various stamps from the Broadway Birthday.

First in costal cabana and then in memento to get a shadow effect.

I stamped numbers around the edges, cut up one of the sentiments and finished

with some wink of stella.
