Hello to you! I’m a little (very) excited to share my first project
for the
ArtStacks Team!
After receiving my packs, the hardest thing was to choose which
I was going to start with first, as it all inspired me in one form or another.
What finally spoke to me the loudest was the clear windows from the ‘Doors and Windows’ pack, as I immediately saw see-through pages. I’m truly in love with
those peak-a-boo type pages. This ended up so, so different from my usual style
and I love that!
Firstly, I cut out the windows I wanted to use, and traced
them onto my page. I had a gel-printed background already created.
With a sharp
blade, I cut the windows, slightly smaller than the traced lines, so I had
something to glue the windows to. Remember to have a cutting mat between your
pages so you are only cutting the one.
I went around the cut windows with a black texta to remove
the stark white now created, as well and any cut pieces I was using, like the
figure, from the 'Faces & Figure' pack and the cat, from the original 'Doors and Window' pack.
Before gluing down the windows, I added some tissue paper
and stenciled brickwork and branches around the page to create a rustic old
building effect.
I added the potted flowers to one window & the cat to
another…both from ‘Doors and Windows’ pack. I loved the cat had a mirror image
of itself, which lead to an easy 2nd ‘flip’ page. The girl in the window is
from the ‘Faces and Figures’ pack, which I coloured-in with black gesso on the
back for my 2nd page.
The quotes on both pages are from the ‘Doors
and Windows’ pack. Here's the final two pages, front and back.
...and the other side...
I had a lot of fun creating these pages, as I said,
something very different from my usual style which is always fun!
