Hi and welcome to the last challenge of March. (where in the world does the time go???) So this challenge is a bit like Ona's challenge this month, where you create your background paper. This time you will use styles for for texture and coloring and add any doodles, artsy bits and pieces, brushes and masks masks or whatever else to create your finished paper.
To start with, I used a basic paper from NBK Art and Journal collection. I also added several masks from that collection. I decided on a gesso style from the Re-Invent collection. I added a different gesso style to each mask.
Step 1
This is what my paper looked like after the gesso styles were added.
Step 2
Here I just added a mask and used the Painters toolbox watercolor styles from Art and Journal just to test it out. I then moved to the background
Step3
I started adding some other things like paint strokes, brushes, artsy bits and then I started adding, moving things around and adding more styles from the painters tool box watercolors to complete my paper. I changed the opacity of some items as well. I used style to recolor at least 6 or more elements.
Step 4
After I added, subtracted and moved around some pieces, this is my paper. The background is barely visible as I used the gesso nearly completely cover the paper and some recolored elements.
Here is my layout
I used Art and Journal collection (including the Painter box watercolor styles), Re-Invent for the gesso style and 2 elements from Little Dwarfs.
It is so easy to create your own background paper!
As always, here is some inspiration from the NBK CT:
