Hi everyone and welcome back. It's Vicky here with a new art journal layout. Today I will be working on my watercolour, disc-bounded 6x6 journal and you will find links to whatever I'm using down below in the description area. This is the Distress Resist spray by Tim Holtz and I'm going to spray on top of my page just over a stencil. This is an older stencil by the dilusions line and I'm doing this inside the box. Make sure to do that because this is actually glue and you don't want to spread the glue all over your surface. Now I'm going to leave this to dry and I'm going to wash my stencil. And I'm planning to spray on top of it with my new shimmer spray. Now I'm showing you here that myica is all the way to the bottom. So make sure to shake your bottles well before you spray with them. Make sure that there is no mic as stuck at the bottom. I hope you can see the difference. So I'm just checking them nicely, making sure that everything is nicely mixed up there. And this is actually pure sunshine. I don't know if you can see the colour but it's super gorgeous. I think this is probably my favourite from the whole line and it gives a beautiful shine on your project. You will see that later on. Here is a bottle from the original collection. We thought the shimmer and you can see how the new bottles are smaller and they are cheaper which means that for the same money you can get two of those colours and you can build up your collection easier. Now I'm going to put my page inside the box again and now I'm going to spray with three of the shimmer colours. And I'm going to spray a little bit of water on my page or lower which is going to help all those colours to blend nicely together. Now the three colours I'm using are pure sunshine, tangerine dream and bubble gum pink. Now you can leave these to dry and it's going to stay nice and vibrant or you can blow it with a cloth or paper towel and it's going to turn more subtle. And this is where you will be able to see the resist that I did with the spray in the beginning. And look at all the shine that this spray ski on your project. Now as I always say if you take a good care of your products they will last you for a long time so it's a good habit to always wipe the nozzle before you put the cups back on. This will ensure that there is no mica in the nozzle that might clog your bottle for the next time you use it. This is a booklet by Dallusion and it has all those designs at quotes and I wanted to show you how easy it is to create a quick and easy page by just combining different designs from here. So I'm picking two of those and I'm going to stick those on my page but first I'm going to get rid of all that white space so I'm going to use my scissors to cut around those legs. Now if you hate fuzzicating you can just stick these as it is and colour the white area. Now as you can see I have cut out all the legs they are ready to go. I'm going to stick them on top of my page by using mat medium so I'm going to apply mat medium at the back of everything and stick it down. Now one of the questions that I get all the time is how I care about my brushes that have mat medium. I just dip my brush inside water and I leave it there. Mat medium is water soluble so it's going to be okay and I can wash my brush when I finish my project. From this coloring page I want to use only the central design so I'm using again my scissors to separate it. Now I'm planning to place this just on top of those legs and I want to add some shine on this strip of paper. So I want you to see here where the marker is all the way to the bottom. Make sure to shake shake shake until everything is nicely mixed up. The two colors that I will be using are first lime and calypso teal. So you see how nicely they are mixed up now I'm going to bring in my box again. You don't have to use a box I just don't like spraying all over the place and making a mess on my table. So first I'm spraying with water and then I will use my dilution sprays. You don't have to do that but I find that it helps the colors blend nicely together. Don't forget to wipe your nozzles. So this way you keep your bottles as brand new, put on the cups and now I'm going to give it a quick hit just to make sure that everything is nice and dry before I move on to the next step. And you can see how shine it is. Now it's time to use again my mat medium. I'm taking that brush that I used before making sure that it's nice and dry and then I will apply my mat medium. I'm doing that because I don't want to transfer too much water on my page. So now I will dip my brush again in the water and let it sit there. I'm going to decide where this is going to go making sure that I cover up the top of all those legs. And then I'm going to use my scissors to cut off the excess. Now Ranger sent me a box full of products and I did an unboxing video which I am going to link at the end of the video. So you can take a look at it. And I'm trying to work on this page by mainly using products from that box. So I'm going to add a shade of flesh on the legs. And for that I'm working with my archival link. They are not meant to be used with water but you can see that you can work it out. And here I managed to create a flesh tone just by combining two colors. And these are chrome yellow and sepia. Now to color all these legs I'm going to use again my new shimmer sprays. But this time instead of using them as sprays I'm going to create my own palette. So I have these pipettes and I'm going to add just a drop of the colors that I want to work with. And by the way I have tons of those pipettes they are really expensive. And I'm going to show you later how you can clean them and use them again and again. The five colors I used in the order that you see them are Calypso Tiel, Fresh lime, Pure Sunshine, Polest Jade and Tangerine Dream. Now my palette is ready and the little goes a long way. You will see that I have way more than I actually need. And I'm going to clean my pipettes. All you have to do is just use a little bit of water. I didn't even bother to bring a clean water. And I actually have hundreds of them. They only cost a few dollars and you will have pipettes for the rest of your life. I'm actually going to bring in the box here so you can see how many I have. And now with my brass I'm going to color in everything. You don't have to be perfect. Remember this is just an art journal. It's for fun. If you go outside the lens it's okay. And what I love about those shimmer sprays is that they are actually translucent so it doesn't cover up the lines. And they are great for coloring a black and white images. And you can see that the little goes a long way. You can put all those droplets back if you use the pipettes or just use them on another project. So we used the sprays to color which are actually translucent. And now I'm going to show you another medium from the dilusions line. These are the paints, the paint pens by dilusions. And they have a very fine tip nib and the right opaque on top of anything. So this is actually acrylic paint inside. And you can see how it writes nicely on top of black. I'm using this pen to add some doodling here and there. I'm also going to add some details on the legs. Now if you watch the unboxing video I did of all the ranger products that I got, you will see there how I prep those pens. And I'm also sharing there a few tips and tricks on how you can keep them in great condition. So make sure to check it out. I will link it at the end of this video. Now all I'm doing is adding a little doodling and you can never stop with that. So let's move on to the next step which is adding the quote. And in this booklet there are many quotes, those fun quotes by dilusions that we are all used to. And I decided to go with one that says if it doesn't make you feel fabulous, don't do it, don't bite, don't keep it. I'm using my scissors to cut out all the little strips and then I'm going to stick them down. I'm using tape adhesive to do so but you can also use your mark medium or any other type of glue. So that's it, my page is actually ready. Of course you can go back and add even more details if you want to with your paint pens. Here I'm just working with my pens to add highlights and shading on all those legs. And then finally I'm going to use my black archive link to go all around the edges just to add a touch of black border. And finally I'm going to put back the page on my art journal so I'm just pressing inside those discs. And I have already the second page on my journal. So that was the project for today, I hope you had fun, you got inspired and here are some close up photos of the project that I did today. Don't forget to take a look on the unboxing video, it's lots of fun and I share lots of tips on how you can use these mediums. Thank you all for watching and I'll see you next time.
