ONE COLORFUL SUMMER

Brought to you by the Krazy Crafting Crew

Our independant hop team is bringing you colorful delightful creations for summer time projects!

If you have just stumbled upon the hop, Robin Lane from "Create-a-Latte" will be your hostess today, you can start from the beginning and work your way through, to get all the inspiration we have to offer. The whole line up will be provided at the end of this post.

Here is a photo of the blog candy our hostess has up for grabs:

For my project I opted to do an art journal page.  I started by coating my page with gesso.  I was impatient and did not allow it to dry enough when I started adding my Derwent Inktense Blocks and my Watercolor Crayons.

Next I added water.  I smeared them with a cosmetic sponge.  Usually the lines disappear but since the gesso was not quite dry it left some there.  I wish I had started with my Distress Inks.  

I then started adding acrylic and dimensional paints.  I don't often use those little bottles of sticles so I took them out.  Of course I squirted too hard and the bottle burst open and I got too much.  I added and added and the paper was saturated.  I rolled over it with a paper towel and got some interesting lined texture.

Next I had to wait forever for all those layers of paint to dry.  Eventually I got to add my favorite texture medium - DryDex Spackle with a Crafters Workshop Template.

And now I will make my sun a glorious yellow and add my title!  I sprinkled some pink and yellow alcohol inks but they were very dark so I added some gesso over them.  I put gold perfect pearls over the whole sun.

I created my title from Basic Grey Hip chipboard letters and colored them black with my Pitt pen.  I found this great swirly transparency which I cut apart and placed in the corners.  I also added some black rhinestones.

I hope you have enjoyed my creation today, I would love for you to visit again, we have hops with new themes every first Sunday of each month.
