Boho-Chic Journal Cover by Lizzy Wurmann G., Creative Team Thursday

This is my last post for Jessica Sporn Designs. I want to thank all the team for being so supportive and generous and especially to Jessica for choosing me.

This time I created a journal cover out of an old book. I started by covering everything with black gesso.

Then I chose this beautiful whimsical tree stencil- Judy'sTrees Stencil as my focal image

Covering completely with black gesso too

I rolled magazine paper in different lengths to embellish the cover and applied black gesso again

When everything was dry, I sprayed it with three different pinkish colors by Lindy's Stamp Gang

At this point, I was about to apply white gesso but decided to leave it as you see

Time to paint the tree

As I used cardboard, I felt there was too much dimension so I peel it leaving a thin layer of paper and mounted it on thin cork (which you won't see because I ended covering it with Golden Mica)

To mount it I used two pieces of the cardboard to level the image with the book

I hope you'll have some inspiration to alter any old book you have.

Until next time!

Mixed Media Paper Quilt by Lizzy Wurmann - Creative Team Thursday

Hi all, it's Lizzy with you today with a fun project to try.

I wanted to create a quilt with my own patterned paper, so I stenciled over previously painted papers and cut 1.5 and 2 inch squares to start making the design. 

To make it easier for me, I traced a diagonal on the cardstock and then I glued one square on each side of that line and from there, I started gluing one on each side of those until I completed the page. 

My plan was to make a card with the small panel and leave the big one for other projects cutting it into stripes, circles or squares or leave it as it is to use it as a base for a journal page or a collage.

Follow along with my video YouTube to see how I created this paper quilt step-by-step.

Stencils used:

Dots and Dashes Stencil

Squares and Circles Stencil

Hearts, Flowers, and More Stencil

Hebrew Calligraphy Stencil

Apple Pomegranate Stencil

Until next time!

Creative Team Roundup and Giveaway Winner

Today marks the "one month from the end point" of the 10 month term of the members of my Creative Team.   I am so in love with these women and their creations.  I thought I'd flash back to some of my favorites of each of their posts.  Each post has a video or step out tutorial, and the caption under each photo takes you straight to that artist's blog.  Enjoy!

Marit Barentsen

As many of you know, the journey of immigrants, and especially refugees and the undocumented, is near and dear to my heart.  So I absolutely loved Marit's beautiful fold out card, with immigration as its theme.  

Karen Gaunt

I used to work in old books all the time.  I was reminded of that by this gorgeous post and tutorial by Karen Gaunt.  

Sherry Canino

Sherry Canino used lots of different stencils to create these positive affirmation tags.  What a great idea to make them and have a bunch handy for giveaways, gifts, and happy mail!

Denise Alloca

Check out this beautiful canvas that Denise created, using different stenciling techniques and lots of love for her daughter.  

Lizzy Wurmann

I love the way Lizzy Wurmann assembles her collages.  She used Citra Solv to great effect in this beautiful creation.

Collage Papers using Citrasolv and Stencils with Lizzy Wurmann Creative Team

There are many tutorials on the web about National Geographic magazines and Citrasolv where I learned this technique but,  I've never seen how it works with stencils so I had to try. I hope you get inspired to do it, you can get beautiful and unexpected results.

Citrasolv is a cleaner and degreaser, which will remove the ink creating wonderful backgrounds that you can use for your collages.

 

For this technique I used various stencils by Jessica Sporn.

• Medallions
• Hearts, Flowers, and More
• Squares and Circles

Follow along as I try out this technique in my video.

We'd love to see what you create with this technique!  Be sure to share it with us on Pinterest and tag us using #JessicaSpornDesigns #CreativeTeam
