Bunch of Backgrounds

Just a bunch of background techniques, with some sneaky peeks at in-progress & finished art journal pages to illustrate some of my explanations. You guys see a lot of 'fully loaded' backgrounds from me in my regular art journal pages processes, like the 'Loves Layers' art journal page process for example (which can be found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CoPtINW8XOc.html) so decided to show some cool quick techniques & cleaner looking backgrounds here, hope you enjoy.
Here is the blogpost regarding acrylic inks that I mentioned in the video: jennibelliestudio.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/for-love-of-acrylic-inks.html

The backgrounds are wonderful! I LOVE the 'mandala' effect, it turned out looking like great flowers, so beautiful !!! Thank you for the inspiration dear Jennibellie!

@marciamarciamarcia 11 лет назад

I love how free & "messy" you are with your artwork--how you have such fun with it. For a long time I was really anal about getting things "right". I've gradually learned to let go of that and you've helped me tremendously. Thanks again! :-)

My doctor told me to destress and try some yoga, told him forget it, i'd rather watch your video's. Loved this background video, all of the pages were fantastic. Thank You

@lynnwayne6132 10 лет назад

Great backgrounds & inspiration! I especially loved the Mandalas. At first I was thinking that I didn't like how the stamping turned out but you really turned it into a piece of art. It was amazing to watch. I am humbled. Thank you for sharing your talent.

@millana6292 6 лет назад

You are very calming to listen to, you got me out of myself and back into wanting to create, so I thank you for that. You would be surprised how many people you are helping.

wow Jenny one of my fav videos to date! When I was making your cereal box books this summer, I was using pieces of corregated cardboard to cover my work area. I discovered the paint on the cardboard was art in itself! I peeled the top layer off the cardboard and used the painted surface for embellishments and even made rolled paper beads to decorate the spines of my books! I really love this video and plan to recon my house tomorrow for cool found object stamps. THANK YOU for your inspiration!

@jonkarenmorningstar3108 8 лет назад

I absolutely love these techniques! Wow, the Mandala is super!

I am addicted to ur channel and I have now started my own Journal

@loueelamb234 11 лет назад

Loved this! I am quickly (and happily!) learning from you and your videos that some of the best things come from being unplanned, and I don't have to worry so much that I don't have a clear plan in my mind when i sit down to journal - just let the materials take me where they will!! Thank you so much, you really are very inspiring xx

@Judymontel 11 лет назад

Whoa - I like Jennibellie tutorials, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE watching this! Terrifico!

@susanfree54 11 лет назад

As always you are so inspirational. I've been painting up sheets of newspaper for collage projects and was looking for some ideas for layering on them for added interest. Thanks so much! I'm excited and very much inspired. I loved the 'messy fingers, happy mind' phrase, too.

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

@DiRidpath 11 лет назад

I love all the techniques. Now I have to play and try them. You give me motivation. Thank you.

@sexyrose3369 11 лет назад

it is just so amazing how you are so inventive in your crafting. I love the fact that you recycle so much. I have foam packaging, newpaper, etc. So much because I know I'll figure a use for it. I am inspired by you. Thank you for sharing :)

@delmastrodesigns 10 лет назад

I really enjoyed this video. I will now be watching them all. Thanks for sharing your amazing work!!!

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

thank you I'll be doing a flip at some point once the pages are done =D thanks for watching much love xoxo

@ShoshiPlatypus 11 лет назад

Wow Jennibellie, how cool is that?? This is one brilliant video! When you added the white outline to the petals in the last one, it all came together in a most amazing way. I adore the gesso resist, and the use of small scraps stuck down. Stamping using rubbish is so brilliant! And your crackle effect is amazing over the printed pages collage. So many cool ideas to try out! The trouble is, I'd never want to put anything over the top of these backgrounds because they look complete in themselves.

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

lol well I'll be doing more art journal videos with full page processes, hmmm may be do more backgrounds in the future we'll see thanks for watching x

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

aww thanks lol I keep meaning to film diff ones (I like variety if you didn't guess from the beginning lol) but one of those things I keep forgetting to get around to lol thanks for watching x

@bleigh8793 11 лет назад

Love the foam square stamp and the heart stamp mandala!! Thanks for sharing all of these fun techniques! ~tina

@scobbydotwo 11 лет назад

Hi Jenni, These pages are just stunning. I can't wait to see all the STUFF you have saved and use in your journal. The styrofoam square was just terrific. I started saving everything I come across but, need a push to try and use them in different processes. Just love to watch you work. You make using left over package material an art in itself. The string was amazing. Barb USA

@Song101Bird 11 лет назад

Wow these are all so lovely but my favourite would have to be the fourth and last. it was so pretty how you did those flowers, this could be a lovely and simple art journal page by just adding a nice saying/quote. can't wait to see how you finish off these pages.

@dottygin 11 лет назад

i so enjoyed this video and would love to see more of them, with the other treasures youve found around the house. that crackle technique was amazing, loved it with the script coming through, iv not see that on yt before. your last page was fabulous, it really come together when you went over it with your white pen and your doodling, it brought it alive. thankyou for a wonderful vid. hugs gina xxxxxx

@MsYiara 10 лет назад

Lovely work Jennibelli. Thanks for such nice inspiration for my backgrounds.

@suayres 11 лет назад

A couple interesting backgrounds: the printed insides of security envelopes (such as those your credit card bills come in), and, (yes, really!) onion skins--they're s quite lovely, really, in those beautiful golds and russets and tans. Beautiful!

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

you're welcome hun =) thanks for watching x

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

yep I used to be the same, that's why I didn't do art for quite a while...now I'm freer with it I see it as the actual point of being creative & arty - I hate to be constantly be telling myself how things 'should' be done - it would make me not want to do it all over again so I say YES TO THE MESS! lol thanks for watching xoxo

@LindaLap 11 лет назад

Love it! Thank you for the fun techniques.

@smurfie161 11 лет назад

Lovey ideas , I have just started doing a art creations book as I call as I can't draw to save my life , but love using my scraps up to make collages and any images I have off the net or old xmas cards , but have a long way to get any where near as good as you . Hugs Nicky

@scrapperabi13 11 лет назад

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

lol thanks Wendy, pleased you like it =) x

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

well I'll def be doing more because art journaling is pretty much the bread and butter of my creativity ;) no I don't have a Michaels, I live in England so don't have any of those or Joanns so I pretty much get all my supplies online, I just search around art shops to find the best places to get each kind of supplies, much love x

@franlynch9428 10 лет назад

Great video! Love your techniques

@user-gg1qc1uk7f 11 лет назад

So, thank you so much for this amazing video! I like these ideas. You are very talented!

@eklipsnoiredinence 11 лет назад

Thank you Jenny! I just discovered your art and channel, and I must say thanks for all the great tips and techniques!

@evlipokejuggalette 10 лет назад

I think it was a correction pen or White Out pen which can be found in the school/office stationary section of stores. You can also use a white gel pen but the white out pens show up brighter and thicker. :)

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

aww thanks, glad you liked it =) x

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

called 'my biggest tip for liking your journal pages' where I discuss this more =D much love xoxo

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

Aww thanks Gina =D I've *just* this second posted a photo to my facebook page of a makeshift stamp I made with some treasures I found, check it out I looooove how the print turns out. The crackle technique is an oldie, so probably is on here but I think I lot of people fear it going wrong which is why I did in this vid it to give the golden secret - being generous with the glue :) so glad you liked it, much

@poetspice 11 лет назад

Hello, Lady :) I love the crackle idea and the last mandala piece was fab. :)

@TwinkleToes2day 11 лет назад

Fabulous backgrounds Jenniebellie, thanks so much for sharing. I love the mandala one best from this video, mainly because I love the way you decorated it once your paint had dried. The faux woodgrain one was fascinating and definitely one I will try. I uploaded pics of my first junk mail book to Flickr today. I am working on two more and will use some of these backgrounds in them. Can't wait to see more of your use of saved objects in printing/stamping :0) Mo x

@BeachFibres 11 лет назад

Hi Jennibellie :) great stuff as always, but wow, i can't wait to use the faux crackle technique and the gesso resist, too cool!! you are awesome, thanks so much for all the inspiration!! i will head over to your blog now and read about the ink sprays :D Love & Hugs from NZ xoxox

@phuongkern8027 8 лет назад

Thank you for the many creative tutorials Jennibellie. Question: what is your paper that used for background? Thank you and keep us motivated with your beautiful work.

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

thanks, glad you liked it =) x

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

Wahoo! That's a great compliment, thank you xoxo

@evlipokejuggalette 10 лет назад

There are many ways to do this stuff for really cheap. I cut my own stencils out of cardboard, I make my own stamps out of craft foam, and I haven't tried it yet but I think you can make the spray inks with acrylic paints and water. The rest, I agree, it can get pretty expensive.

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it =) x

Thank you! I LOVE your videos........this one was super!

@jennibellie 11 лет назад

I don't know specifically where you can get it (as obviously I live in another country) but some people use Mod Podge or Elmers glue as a substitue, it's not the exact same thing but close enough =)
