Mixed Media Journal Page - What Is strength - Using new products

 So tonight I received a large box and inside was all the new Art Anthology products I ordered

So of course I had to break out a few and make some things.

On Monday I took Tracy Weinzapfel Mixed Media Monday Class - and her challenge was to pick some "strength" words..   So below is a few steps into that word.

I was also taking a donna downey class... so I was really excited to do a technique so I had fun laying the back ground up... then hand drew the flowers - and then mixed paint with gesso and used my figure to blend out side of the flowers...   Free handed some words

Strength

Power

Heal

Then finished off the flowers and added washi tape.

REally like the new products...

Mixed Media Art Journal 4-3-13 Art Makes Me Happy

So here's a my journaling for today....  What I like most about this page other than the title - Art Makes Me happy is the fact that I total freehanded everything on it.  The flowers...  and the birds - this is a big step for me... and I totally am so proud of them.

I take the Life Class 2013 by Tamara Laporte

Week 14 - was a series of Quirky Birds

This isn't my lesson I have to do still do that - but after watching her lesson - I got motivated to do something with birds.

I did this in my Creative Journaling book - which I love.... 

And I used put the Caran D'Ache Neocolor II

used water to paint them on the page

pulled out my wood stencil by Crafter's Workshop

and colored modeling paste

And then stickers - "art makes me happy"

and then had fun with paint - drawing the flowers

and below I explain my birds.

 Check out my birds up close..  I hand drawn with pencil.  Then I painted - didn't like the color - so I cut out book paper and glue it down - painted over it - still was not happy - and then put modeling paste and painted that - and got to the point I loved them.

Let's Scrap Create Stamp

I also started journaling in a MoleSkin - not sure how i feel about it yet... I'll let you know.

I used Dylusions Spays and paper doilies and just sprayed sprayed...

then I cut quarters from the Paper Doilies and clued them on with modge podge.

I adding Tim Holtz Distress Paints - Modeling paste with Crafter's Workshop 6x6 Stencils - adding more - and then hated it... so gesso'ed over it - and LOVED it.. everything ended up bleeding thru it all.

Using my new Dylusion Stamps - and I just love them..  I also used her stamping block - it's super cool.

I then used some of the Tim Holtz Distress Paints and started filling in the stamped image.  The paint was alittle bit muted - so I added some gloss on top.

I also did some faces - Of course I took it 1 step too far - should have just kept them blank. - but it's all about experiencing it - and letting go so I did...  

Hope you enjoyed please share - comment and follow my blog.
