Authentic & Creative

Hi there,

I would like to show you my art journal page for this week's STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday:

• cut a panel from very sturdy watercolor paper (425 g/qm), cover it with gesso and punch two holes at the left side
• mix three Dylusions Ink Sprays (Vibrant Turquoise, Calypso Teal, London Blue) with gesso to create some kind of paint and cover the background with them
• pull color off the page through the ARTplorations Leaf Prints stencil
• apply the darkest teal color (Calypso Teal) through the ARTplorations Bubbles stencil and Dylusions Ink Spray (London Blue) through the ARTplorations Just Squares stencil
• use first, second and third generation stamping with the STAMPlorations Bold Sentiments: Hashtag Authentic and Altenew Crisp Ink (Dusk)
• stamp the dot pattern from the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Grunge with Altenew Crisp Ink (Desert Night) and the script from STAMPlorations Mixed Media Elements with Memento Luxe (Wedding Dress)
• ink up the edges of the page with Distress Ink (Black Soot)
• stamp "Creative" and "Authentic" with Versamark onto strips of black cardstock and heat-emboss them with Zing! Frost embossing powder
• cut out the Ampersand from My Scrap Chick Ampersands Set 2 - twice from sturdy white cardstock and once from dictionary paper - and paint it with the DIY Dylusions paints
• cover the Ampersand with transparent glue and sprinkle Distress Glitter (Clear Rock Candy) on top - ink up the edges and some random spots with Distress Ink (Chipped Sapphire)

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to join us for our Mixed Media Challenge over at the STAMPlorations Blog. The theme is always anything mixed media except a card. You must use at least one stencil (any brand) in your project. The Linky closes at the end of the month.

Yours,
