hi everyone its Keren here and welcome back to my channel I want to apologize
for being away for so long I haven't posted a lot of videos I've just been
really busy but I'm happy to be back with a new project created for a mixed
media YouTube hop that I'm doing it with a few of my friends this hop is being
sponsored by some amazing companies and although we're not a lot of people
during the hub which is nice there is some amazing prizes
I'm also sponsoring a prize and you can stay till the end of the video to see
how you can win it all of us use the same mood board to get inspired and it's
just a beautiful mood board it is perfect for this project and I got
really inspired by the different images on this project and I wanted to create
an art journaling page one of the things that inspired me the most were the
colors and I knew that I wanted to combine them with different materials
the first thing I did is I took my discount art journal and took the pages
out of it so I could easily work on it on a flat surface I love doing this
because I love using stencils and pastes on my art journal pages and I want to
make sure that they don't warp and they don't end I'm able to put the stencil
straight so this was really easy and I love this discount journal from juggles
and I use this a lot for my art journaling i use this mandala
stencil and use the new icing pace from finna bear this is the fire ruby color
and just added some beautiful pattern to the background i added only half of the
mandala on one side and then i use the other half to add to the other side of
the double spread of my art journal i really got inspired by this beautiful
burgundy color that was in the mood ward and i thought that it would be perfect
to create a frosty scene usually i create a frosty scene by using blues and
whites but i thought that to add a little bit of this color would make it
look if there's a little bit of red peeking
through almost as if some of the spring and summer leftover is still there once
I was down the second side and added all the paste I heat set everything to make
sure that it's really dry before I add the next layer I took a second stencil
from juggles and I can't remember the name of this one but I will definitely
list all the products below and then I took some glimmer pace from Nouveau and
I used it to create another pattern on the background I really wanted to use
some glimmer II paste because I wanted it to look as glimmery snow peeking
through the branches so I thought this would be perfect for that because it
wouldn't be too strong but it would really make everything stand out and
it's really hard to tell in the picture is about the page is literally
glistening it's really really nice and all I did is just add a little bit of
this pattern all along so it would peak underneath everything else and would
look like glistening snow of course I did this to both sides of the page
because I was doing a double spread layout and then a heat set everything
really well once it was dry really really well and I tried to heat set it a
lot to make sure that when I add the marabou sprays it will not muck it up I
took two colors from the marabou sprays the mint and the turquoise and I started
spraying them in the background actually first I sprayed a little bit of water
and then I took the sprays and I started adding it to the edges of my page I
started with the light turquoise one and then I added the mint which is a little
bit of a greenish color I wanted them to mix with each other because I really
wanted it to look like the color in the mood board I sprayed it with water first
because I really wanted everything to kind of drip down the page in between
all the textures not only the mandala texture but also the gleaming the
glistening texture that I had added with the
Limor paste and of course when you add a lot of water it really makes a mess and
I do like this but if you don't want to have it such a messy way you can always
add it with a paintbrush I did this of course to both sides I really liked that
it was a little bit darker on one side so I kept on adding in different areas
to make sure that the colors match up on both sides and I kept on playing around
adding and removing ink to make sure that I liked it and I wanted to really
match the color to the background of the mood board because I really like how
those two colors look together and since I wanted it to look so much like the
mood board I ended up adding a little bit of another type of blue that way it
would really make it look more teal colored so by mixing all these colors
together and letting it drip down the page it really made it look like the
mood board itself and I love combining the colors because it really makes
everything look so cool so adding different shades of blues and teals
really helps the page to create dimension and give it that really nice
dripping effect since it had so much inclination ooh it would really have to
take a long time to dry because I needed this to be dry really really well
I took some juggles art parts these are birds so that I wanted to include in my
journal these are called art cards and they're made out of watercolor paper the
same watercolor paper that is used in the background and what I wanted to do
is that I wanted to include them in the background looking back I wish I would
have put them facing each other I don't know why I had put the birds facing
outward and it looks good while it doesn't have any paint on it but once I
added the painted the birds were kind of looking away from each other they kind
of looked angry at each other but it doesn't really matter it still got gave
a really good effect I took some of the premising a bear pick paper
texture paste which is one of my favorite favorite paste to use not only
for the winter scenes but for basically anything and what I did is I use the
paste to create these two branches coming out of the edge of the paper so I
wanted the birds to kind of stand on top of a branch so what I did is I used a
paintbrush and created two branches coming out of the edge of the paper that
looked as if they had frosty snow on it so that made it look like a winter scene
because this I really wanted to create a really nice wintry scene that looks like
as if the snow had just fallen on the ground and the birds were basically
looking for berries on top of the branches it really looked like berries I
looked like black mandala red mandala pattern and it made it look like berries
to me so I really felt as if the birds were looking for really nice berries
around the trees so I continued adding the branches and while I fit once I
finished adding the branches I used the same paste to add some more frosty snow
on the edges of the journal I went all the way around and when I reach the top
I started creating some icicles coming out of the top of the journal it was a
really cool idea that I thought of last minute where I could create little
icicles that look like as if snow is falling and is accumulating on top of
the trees so I thought that was really cute and I decided to do this on both
sides and kind of unify everything unify the theme to everything else I really
love how these icicles came about and it really lucked looks like a frosty scene
for these little birds and I'm sure they're really cold but you know what
they have good feather so it warms them up
and I really love how this paper texture created the scenery for me and of course
I'm linking that as well of course I heat set this really
really well because that pace took a little bit longer to dry but that's okay
because I was going to work on my birds I took the little birds and using the
same stencil I had used with a glimmer paste
I took it again and added a little bit of glimmer to the body of each of the
birds I figured it would be like little lines on top of the birds because birds
have these markings from the feathers so this would be as if it was glimmering
feathers because I'm sure they have a little bit of that icy frosty snow on
top of their feathers that if it gets wet they probably freeze I'm guessing a
lot of the birds tend to go south for the winter so they might not actually be
in this frosty wonderland but I just figured that if they would have been
they would have a little bit of that a glimpse inning snow on top of their
feathers so that's why I added this pattern on each bird heat set the paste
and then I took some gold spray this is a mixture of gold mica and water and I
sprayed the birds on their bodies of course the paste was very dry otherwise
it would have gotten really messy then I took some black marabou spray and added
one drop to each of the birds as soon as I put the drop onto the bird it actually
spread everywhere and it created a really cool shadow for the birds it was
a little bit too dark for me so I played back and forth with the gold and the bat
in the black to make sure that the birds are a little bit more golden because the
bird in the actual mood board was over a golden orange color so I wanted to kind
of mimic that as well I heat set the black and then I went back and added
some more gold to make sure that they're not so dark once they were fully dried I
took a black marker and added some markings onto the birds and also
outlined their bodies I really wanted to make them look a
little bit more realistic I'm not the best drawer but I figured that if I
added a little bit of black and painted their legs and the eye and some markings
on the body it would make it look a little bit more realistic
then I took back my pages and I added the three birds and glue them with some
3d matte gel you can also use soft gel for this or any glue or gel that you
want and all I did is glue them to the background once the birds were glued I
ended up adding a few more finishing touches to the background
I took the glimmer paste again and using my finger added a little bit of the
glimmer to the white snow so that made the white paste glimmer and glisten in
the background and it kind of made it look more realistic like snow I also
took the gold spray and added a few splatters in the background to make sure
that it matches the birds I figured to have a few golden splatters will give a
beautiful touch to the background finally I took some Satan crystals prima
gemstones and added them to the background especially at the edges of
the branches to make it look like more berries were gathered at the edge of
each twig so I thought it would be a cute finishing touch I mean I didn't
have to add these but I thought they looked really nice and because they're
very shiny they look really nice it looked like little berries at the end of
each branch finally I went ahead and added a small title with some old
stickers that I had from long time ago and I thought this was the perfect title
because it said first snow and all I did is take some gel and sealed it to the
background that way it would not come off thank you so much for watching if
