Vellum Summer Art Journal Page

Hi crafters! Today I have a tutorial using printed vellum, collage paper, acrylic paint and stamping, to make a summery art journal page. I hope you are well and that you had a good weekend. 


We have an Art Journal theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog this week. If you have never tried art journaling, I hope you will do so. It is really fun and freeing. You can work in any size that you'd like, on lose papers, or in a journal. Don't miss the last project by our July guest designer Sheila with her blog Sheila Wy's 216 Alchemy Lane.

I recently got Tim Holtz Vellum Scenes and the designs are so beautiful. Here, two of summer- themed designs ended up in my art journal and were paired with a lovely quote from Paper Arty's The Magic and Wonder Edition set. You need a fairly light background for the vellum scenes, since if you place them on a dark surface, the details and colors become very dark too.

Working in Dina Wakley's Blue Edition Media Journal, on a cotton-rag watercolor paper, I started out by adhering Tim's Typeset Collage Paper to the background with matte medium.

Paint the background with white acrylic paint, but don't cover the design completely, since we want some of the pattern to show through.

Staple the vellum scenes to the background and paint around them with Tattered Rose, Peacock Feathers and Abandoned Coral.

Mist the background with white gloss acrylic spray, for a white-washed look.

When dry, stamp the background with texture stamps from Tim's Mini Glitch and Grunged sets.

This is such a beautiful quote. It comes from the Paper Artsy The Magic and Wonder Edition set by Alison Bomber. I stamped it on a left-over piece of Journal Card.

I like the texture from the partially visible text, paint, spray and stamping,

You can stamp on the vellum too, and let some of the spray splatter on the vellum, to make it look like it is a part of the background.

I took a walk at sunset a couple of days ago, and it was so beautiful. Summer evenings are the best. The clothing pattern also comes from a Journal Card and the sentiment from Clippings stickers.

I added a couple of pieces of design tape and some flowers from Tim's Field Notes and Field Notes Snippets ephemera packs.

Ink the edges of the flowers slightly.

  2. As I said (elsewhere!), this is beautiful. The Blake quote combined with those landscapes, and then the grungy glitchy stamping details over the text tissue paper means the page has a depth and timelessness which is pure poetry.
