Today is my last project for the month of May using the May 2025 Kits for this month. For this project I used the Scrapbook Kit along with the Mixed Media Kit using a few chipboard pieces from the Tres Jolie Shop Butterfly chipboard, Large Tag, Ivy Leaves, Circle Words, and the Mini Flower Border. All of these are available in the Tres Jolie Shop. As always I have the step by step tutorial below as well as the video tutorial. Below I have the Links throughout the tutorial.
May 2025 Scrapbook Kit May 2025 Mixed Media Kit
To begin out project you will want to gesso your art journal page or canvas.
After the gesso is applied and dried you can sprinkle the alcohol ink on the page and then add on the your alcohol ink blending solution or you can also use isopropyl alcohol to blend your inks around.
I used the isopropyl alcohol on my journal page.
To mixed my alcohol inks I used my heat gun. Then applied the inks again and repeated the same steps until I reached the look I wanted on the journal page.
After I have the journal the way I wanted I took a paper towel and blotted the ink.
Once the page is dried I used a stencil and mixed modeling paste with the Intense alcohol ink.
Let this dry.
While the page is drying you can paint or color the chipboard pieces.
For this Vine chipboard piece I used the alcohol inks right on top of the chipboard pieces, these pieces are not applied with gesso. I used a brown marker to color in the vine part.
*****For more details you can refer to the video tutorial*****
I have close up photos of the page once its done.
This picture is of the lower left side. I covered the large chipboard tag with scrapbook paper and used the mini flower boarder along with the chipboard circle word "today". The Ivy is leaning on the large tag but is actually adhered to the flowers inside the large frame.
For this large frame that is on the lower right hand side of the page. From the Scrapbook Kit I fussy cut out the rose and added foam tape behind it so it pops out of the frame.
This photo is the upper left side of the page. I used pattern paper behind the small frame and used some flowers from the Scrapbook Kit. I also used a small circle frame to have focal point of the flower placing some glossy accents on top.
This photo is a close up of the right upper page. For this part I used a chipboard butterfly colored in with the scorch alcohol ink and brown marker. I used some art stones that were covered with the intense alcohol inks. For my sentiment I used this from my stash from the January Mixed Media Kit.
Here is a photo of the full page all finished.
