When id come out of the craft room with every medium i used liberally applied to my hands etc, my husband would say id gone full commando on the project😅 You were a warrior today😂 You are just marvelous. I love the stamp page -

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, I love that 🤣🤣. Thank you so much xx

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

[@EllenBelli]

Beautiful! Thank you for this!

[@trishthompson5714]

I haven't had time to start mine yet 🙈. Oops, a little water needed for your gesso but it won't leak and go splodgy like that lol. Paint+powder+glue=gesso. More powder=texture paste 😊. I'd better check my gesso tbh🙈. I love glitter and pva, especially black glitter. Yes playing like this is awesome and therapeutic. That blue is lovely, I need it! Barbara will be proud of your gold splatters! Experimenting is especially good when it's not your usual thing. That's great ink, is it acrylic ink? Dry application with stencils is good. Yes I use paint (dabbing with sponge or dry brushing)of pastes. You'll find your own groove while playing😉. Gold+lilac=😍. Oh the blendy sponge works well! That dragonfly stamp with gold (embossing maybe?) Would be awesome. I really need to use my embossing powders more. Barbara uses it over texture paste, even water once! Apparently glycerine in moderation works. Worth playing around. WOW, embellishing looks gorgeous 😍. Yes, keep going until you love it. Loving how the white gesso works on that one 😍.Lots of fab ideas, I'm looking forward to doing mine. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

Very pretty, looks like fun 😊

[@karenbelbin6790]

Great save on that last page, well done xx❤❤

[@scrappysoulsister]

Love love love the stamps page !

[@katharinefletcher466]

I loved watching you do these art pages, whilst I didn’t “hate” the final page I loved its transformation. Thank you for sharing your work Tina 👏🏻💕👏🏻💕👏🏻

[@paulinemcintyre4739]

What a fun project

[@shirleylaboy603]

Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing, Tina. 🧑‍🎄♥️🎄

[@jenniferfirst7536]

I really liked the first paper when you did it but then you started doing the others and I liked them even more. They all turned out beautiful. The light gesso even looked beautiful when you put it over the first paper. Can't wait to see how it looks when you get done.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much, I ended up doing something really different with this book, which is coming up in another video. I hope you love what I do with it in the end, something quite different to anything I’ve seen before xx

[@SandysArt-cx5ek]

Gesso modeling paste can be thinned with water sparingly, or acrylic medium mixed with water...according to google. Love the gold splatters with the black gesso. Looks like lots of fun.😍

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much for the tip xx

[@lynnerevell8445]

Very inspired Tina! Thank you

[@Love.Savana]

I absolutely love what you did using the white gesso to cover up that page.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much xx

[@joanfriant2606]

I've used molding paste, ty Tina 💜

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Great idea to use moulding paste xx

[@MyrtisJackson-d9d]

Hello how are you. Love the stenciling! It looks great. If you look for perfect action you make a mess! I love the painted background book. I am watching and will do mine after your video. Thank you ❤

[@florencetovar8238]

I enjoyed this very much! Thank you for being the Guinea pig! 😂😂😂 I think the lilac and gold is my favorite.💜💜💜

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much, I am really excited to showing how I used this book in the end, as I haven’t ever seen anything like it before. Thank you for sharing your favourite xx

[@florencetovar8238]

@@shabbydabbydoodah Me too! While you were doing these it amazed me how my own ideas were popping up. Thank you for that. Oxox from Michigan, USA

[@LeacheaWood]

Apply the paint pouncing from the top as in a dry brush technique. Using tissue, paper towel, etc., pushes the paint under the stencil. Too, dab off most of the paint using paint lightly. Good luck.

[@diannajohnston4558]

Rehydrate!!! It has seen its last good day like that!!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, thank you for the tip xx

[@lynnrex9996]

Wow the backgrounds are fabulous!❤

[@CraftroomStories]

That's a fun bit of playing!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Peggy, hopefully you will love how I ended up using this book, something I haven’t ever seen before xx

[@barbarabernacki5929]

I had so much fun creating the background pages; can't wait to stencil them.❤❤❤

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Have fun with them, I am excited to show you how I ended up using this book, which I hope you’ll really love. Thank you for joining in xx

[@lenawarelius4195]

GREAT video 👏👏🥰😅😂🤪😊 I love when you make your own pages 👏🥰 and I learn a lot 😅 so inspiring 🙏🥳 lots of love from arctic Norway where we just have had couple of days with-25 minutes degrees. Now it is just -8 🥳🥳

[@wendaprior6160]

Hi Tina, apparently you can thin down Gesso with water, being very careful adding a little water at a time. Xx

[@wandabaldwin2479]

gesso is made with 1/3 of each any color paint , glue, water , baking soda

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your info xx

[@gaila.c.602]

Hi Tina! You should be able to thin the gesso out with some water (preferably distilled water). TFS 💕

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much for the tip xx

[@PatWalden]

❤❤❤

[@Julie-ht3ph]

Your papers look fabulous!❤

[@savanahevans9551]

I think you can add black acrylic paint I probably would not add water it could mold unless it’s distilled water. But honestly its an acrylic medium and so it’s just like acrylic paint and once it dries its basically plastic and unusable 😢a few tips to remember for stenciling with is to use less paint on your sponge and pounce the sponge up and instead of rubbing in to the grooves bc that pushes paint underneath it regardless your pages turned out beautiful anyway

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your tips, I think I am not patient enoughfor stencilling really 🥴🤣 xx

[@AngelaHugginsmakesdolls]

Ive never seen crumbling gesso😮

[@I_am_Michelle]

Beautiful backgrounds! I love how they all came out. 😊 I am eager to see what you do with them.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Michelle, I am excited to show what I ended up doing with the book, as I haven’t seen anything like it before. Hope you’re doing great, and everything is going well for you 🥰🥰 xx

[@martastiltz9338]

Hi Tina, Gesso is water based so you can thin it with water.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much for the tip xx

[@DonnaJo3452]

Tina, I love all the pages, but I think my favorite is the last one! I am not a yellow fan, but I don’t really see the yellow page! I see the stamps, and I love stamping! And as far as you being a mess or creating a mess, we who love you, including myself, love your messes, er, your creations! I love to see you creating. If I think, oh no don’t do that - - I stop and think, Donna have you tried that, how would it turn out if you did?! I do have a suggestion for the page with the black gesso. What you did is fine, but I think I would either scrap the page or turn it over, and do something on the back! I would scrape off as much as the black as I could. I read on Mr. google that you can revive gesso by adding water a little at a time. but to toss completely dried out gesso because as you discovered, it flakes, and if something is painted or inked over it, the possibility of it flaking off is very high. But even that might not a big be a bad thing because it’ll create something distinctive! Merry Christmas to you and your family!! Love, Donna Jo

[@laurahousemanjohnson7100]

I saw another artist thin their thick gesso with a few drops of water. I’m not an artist but thought I’d share this. The backgrounds are beautiful! ❤

[@prof.mommyarty]

You're spot on, a little water is perfect😁

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your tip, I will try that next time xx

[@sunshinegirl8214]

Hi Tina, I think you would have better luck with your stencils if you used a stenciling brush. That’s what I use. 💜

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I think you’re right, I must get one xx

[@susietruelove3657]

Tina could it be that you painted the pages and that why the powder is sticking to the page? And it looks beautiful on my phone

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Yes, I think you’re right xx

[@MyrtisJackson-d9d]

Hello there, Will you be making digital out of these? They would be great! Just a thought.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh no, too late now as I’ve already used them in the final video, I will do next time, thank you for the suggestion xx

[@EllenBelli]

Those Stencils are they yours? Where can I buy them?

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I’ve had them for ages, I have a feeling I got them from craftellier, although it’s been so long that I’m not 100% sure xx

[@AngelaHugginsmakesdolls]

If it was white it would still be messy

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

That’s true xx
