Spring Journal

Nicole’s fabulous art journal pages were created with our HALFTONE stencil, GOLDEN DAFFODILS stamp set, SCRIPTED STREETS and ROUND IN CIRCLES background stamps, and a sentiment from our HAPPINESS MATTERS set.

[Tutorial] I took an old book and covered the pages in gesso so that I could add watercolours to it. Next I used the Halftone stencil with modeling paste in random areas to add texture. When that was dry, I came in with my watercolours. I sprayed my page and dropped the watercolour on, then spritzed again to get the colours flowing for an organic look. Next using archival black ink I did some random stamping with the Scripted Streets and Round in Circles background stamps. For the last step, I stamped my daffodils onto watercolour card stock and water coloured them in. I fussy cut them and glued down onto my pages. Lastly I stamped the sentiment from the Happiness Matters set. Nicole ♡
