Post 334: Mixed Media Art Journal Page- Just be Happy

Hi friends!

I'd like to share a Mixed Media Art Journal Page- "Just be Happy". This is part of my DT work for Bob n Betty, all the details can be found here

Synopsis of the Process:

-Applied clear gesso to prep the decoupage sheet, then did watercoloring with Gansai Tambi watercolors.
-Did background stamping and stenciling with archival ink.
-Added the embellishments and textural elements including the stamped and colored butterfly, heat embossed flourish chipboards, gauze, gems and pearls.
-Stamped the title "Just be Happy" and did additional background stamping.
-Added Tim Holtz stickers as secondary sentiments, "Be your beautiful self", "Use your wings" and "Focus on the good".
-Added details with a white gel pen and white acrylic paint.
-Deckled the edges of the sheet and adhered it to an A4 black cardstock
-Created white and black splatter in the end.

  6. What a remarkable piece of art! I'm so impressed with the skillful way that you combined all of those visual elements. The texture is beautiful and I'm amazed at how dimensional that beautiful face is. She looks like she is emerging right out of that background! I also like how you included some non-traditional elements with your beauty/happiness theme like spiders! Great work and a very clever piece. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
