ART JOURNAL PAGES

The background of the journal pages was creating

by spraying purple, turquoise and blue dylusion inks.

I used Tim Holtz's splatter stencil with modeling

paste to give some texture and interest to the pages.

I stamped a spatter dot with a stamp using purple

archival ink.  The border was created by cutting

a handmade stencil and adding black acrylic paint with a 

makeup sponge.

I used a stencil to create the circles and then used a 

charcoal pencil with a stump tool to smudge.  I 

drew and hand cut the butterflies using scraps

I had from some mixed media pages I created.

MIXED MEDIA BUTTERFLY CANVAS

I love creating mixed media using paints, stencils,

modelling paste, stamps and markers.

I created a background with 3 different

blue shades of acrylic paint.  I then added

modelling paste with a stencil to add some dimension.

I also stamped some script using blue archival ink.

I stamped the butterflies with Ranger Black archival ink and then

added different colors acrylic paints in reds, oranges and yellow.
