Hi! Jen Matott here to share a project that I made using DMC products. I have made a little mixed media book that has a variety of materials for pages. The theme of this book is "One Little Word". I created this after being inspired by Ali Edward's yearly quest for the word that will become part of your yearly creative efforts. I have wanted to participate for some time but didn't get going until now. I created this book using a vintage photo proof portfolio (I found it among my grandfather's possessions when he passed away.) They were used to hold photographs but are perfect to create a mini album! I used watercolor paper, canvas, mixed media paper, chipboard, and cardboard as the pages. Most of the pages use Gelatos® or Aquarelle watercolor pencils. I wanted to make something closer to my style in order to explore my word this year "Time".
Here's the cover... mostly covered in papers from Authentique and Prima but inside is the more artsy materials!
Inside front page that used a piece of chipboard that I covered wth paper and cut out the window to reveal the drippy next page.
First I used a template to spray some Gelato® spray though it to create the clock background. I then used the Stamper's Big Brush markers to stamp the clocks and banner pieces and used Gelatos® and water at the top of the page to create the drips. I cut out the banner pieces and starburst stamped image to create some depth.
I created a wash of color using Gelatos® on a craft mat and water. I used them on the back of the page and when the dried, I drew with the PITT® artist pens to create journaling boxes for me to add my thoughts and goals. The next page was canvas on a piece of the portfolio and I used the Aquarelle watercolor pencils to create the circles and arrow shape. I also used the Big Brush Marker to stamp the letters to create the words in each box. 
More drippage and corregated cardboard! Love the textures here and how the dripping Gelatos® interact with it!
The back of the cardboard page was done with Gelatos® smeared onto the background and then stamped text on top with the Stamper's Big Brush pen... Then, I used that template again to push light modeling paste through to create the raised clocks... add some papers and this one is done!
The reverse of the first page... the template with the Gelatos® sprays on it and turned over to create the opposite. I used some punchinella to smear some Gelatos® through to create the dots.
More Gelatos® sprays, washes, and stamped images with Stamper's Big Brush Pen. I created the tag with leftover wash colors.
This book was part of a class I taught at my local scrapbook store and I love the outcome of this special little word book! I hope you enjoyed my project today! Thanks for letting me share.
