This is my art journal page inspired by this month's mood board.

I decided to do something a little different to all my other art journal pages and go back

 to my abstract root's. 

November Mood board.

I absolutely love these scrapbook pages from by DeeDee Catron called paint chips. I've had these for awhile now and knew this project was the perfect time to use them.

I started by ripping up some of the page and gluing them to my journal page.

I then used red food dye to colour the page around the paint chip scrapbook pages.

I'm completely in love with experimenting with food dye as an art medium.

I then used DecoArt MEDIA crackle paint over the food dye area. As it dried the food dye was seeped into the paint, dying it this fabulous colour.

Once dry i ripped up the art journal page in random chunk's gluing them to a thick backing board from an old art journal book.

This is a close up of how beautiful the crackle paint turned out and how raised it is on the cardboard.

I then covered the whole page with clear drying PVA glue. I then used a mint coloured acrylic paint over the bare cardboard area of the page. I then used a heat tool on the area pulling apart the paint, creating ripple as the glue dried.

I then used Tim Holtz Distress Paint to colour in the mint acrylic paint to give it depth. 

I also used LUMIERE by Jacquard 557 HALO VIOLET-GOLD.

This is the finished product.

Thank you for viewing my page. I absolutely loved creating it.
