This page included texture paste, crinkled and glued tissue, textured cardstock, a doily, a kraft paper (brown paper bag) scrap, a manila paper die cut (with a Tim Holtz layering texture die), dictionary paper-of course! :), and the perforated edge of a spiral page. (You can "play" Where's Waldo and hunt around to find and identify these different elements :)...) I glued all these down, "embracing" any wrinkles. Then I applied the texture paste to overlap and touch the different elements. When the paste was dry I applied a thin coat of gesso which really enhances the texture of the cardstock and the wrinkles in the tissue and kraft paper...YUM!!! For color I used watered acrylic paint...
I now have a great foundation for my art journal page. I could add my focal image at this point, or continue to layer on collage elements and more color, or...well, the possibilities are limitless! Too much fun!
Time to play! :)
