Be You Art Journal Spread

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Art Journal".

It's been a while since I made an art journal spread. So fun to make one again. Although I always find larger surfaces more difficult to fill up. I wanted to use the combo Crackling Campfire with Salvaged Patina again, I really love those together. But first started building the background with different layers. As my first layer I used Collage Paper Entomology and on top of that I used all kinds of Washi Tape.

 

In two of the corners I used Texture Paste with Crate stencil. After the Texture Paste was dry, I applied White and Clear Gesso, and used some stamps. I started adding colors with Distress Spray Stain Crackling Campfire mixed with Perfect Pearls Heirloom Gold and Salvaged Patina with Mint. To make the colors a bit more intense I used Infusion Rusty Car and A Bit Jaded.
