Happy to use photographs with stencils!

 ANOTHER art journal page of 18 x 25 centimeters.
I added some art journaling after taking these photographs of the page.
I chose to use one of my many photographs to go with this beautiful stencil!

A step by step photo tutorial:  Art Journal Artofthe5th week17 colors inks (1) Adhere some strips of tissue wrap to the page.
Paint it with some watered down gesso.
Leave to dry very properly, before advancing to the next step!

Art Journal Artofthe5th week17 colors inks (2)Sponge with green distress ink over the stencil, and heat emboss with clear embossing.
Sprinkle some red brusho powder onto the page, and mist with water.
LOVE the magic!

Art Journal Artofthe5th week17 colors inks (4)Sponge 3 different flowers from the same stencil, at the back of a separate piece of cardstock..
and fussy cut it… an easy way to create your own embellishments!
Cover the front side of the flowers with a thick layer of gesso,
and dry with a heat gun, for the gesso to create bubbles.
That adds some texture to the flowers. Art Journal Artofthe5th week17 colors inks (5)

Assemble it all to your page.

Art Journal Artofthe5th week17 colors inks (7) I chose to keep the amount of  embellishments to a minimum, to have the beautiful background to jump.

Here you can see the bubbles in the gesso.
Love that tiny bit of texture.

I only realize now I haven’t used any stamps on this page, LOL.
