Hi everyone,
I want to share an art journal spread with you. I hope you like it.

The Crafter’s Workshop provided me the products to work with, but the opinions I share here are solely my own.
I made this on a loose sheet from my Dylusions square journal. I applied a coat of white gesso to the page and let it dry.
Then, I applied acrylic paints with my fingers in layers till I was happy with the background.

Next, I applied acrylic paints through TCW384 Well rounded stencil. This is an old stencil and is one of my favourites. It has different designs and is great for backgrounds.

Next, I did a bit of background stamping with Ranger’s Archival inks.
Applied acrylic paint through TCW251 Branches reversed stencil.

Finished the spread by adding a sentiment and few paint splatters.
