Hi friends!
ICraft Branch Stencil
I'd like to share a Grungy Art Journal Page- "Be You". I'm creating art journal pages on separate sheets and will bind them together later. For this art journal page, I wanted a very grungy and worn out look. I sponged on black acrylic paint through the Icraft branch stencil, then added color with Lindy’s sprays. Then did stamping with black archival ink, doodling & mark making with a black marker and white gel pen. Then dabbed on some white gesso in random areas and added the butterfly die cuts. Then created ink splatter and scrunched up the panel & adhered it to a black mat.
List of Supplies:

I love this! I think my favorite is the way you used that black. I am always skeptical of using black because it is one of those colors that is difficult to cover up. But you did an awesome job. Gorgeous page!

ReplyDeleteLove this so much, Preeti!!! You are such a fabulous mixed media artist!! I adore the grungy look of this. The bold use of black, the awesome stenciling, the beautiful butterfly, and those magnificent doodles and handwritten sentiment all combine to put this art journal page just over the top!! Thank you for being one of those brave souls who is entering BOTH parts of the Butterfly Challenge this fortnight!! :) Hugs!
