Art Journaling and stenciling belong together just like peanut butter and jelly!

Hard to stop creating with once you begin!

Begin by preparing your Arteza pages with Gel Medium and a bit of ripped up paper pieces that has been placed randomly on your pages using Gel Medium. 

Add a bit of color using water along with 3 in 1 pencils. 

Allow colors to dry after each application so they don't become muddy looking. 

Lay Cosmopolitan Floral Stencil on prepared pages. 

Apply different colors of distress inks over each layer to achieve depth of color.

Lay the lattice part of the Watercolour Flowers and Lattice Stencil to top of prepared pages. 

Apply crackle paste to top. 

Allow to dry completely. 

Apply black 3 in 1 Woody Pencils smears lightly along edges of paper and flowers. 

Rub in with fingertip. 

Hint: If to dark lighten with a light touch of water. 

Add rub-ons randomly on pages. 

Do a bit of line work with black pen. 

Add small white and black dots with paint using toothpick.

Spatter with black and white paint. Dry

Always remember that art journaling is a process and so much fun to experiment and create with.
