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.
It’s a simple spread, made with limited supplies.
I applied a layer of TCW9001 White Gesso to the pages and let it dry.
Next, I applied acrylic paints through the TCW872 Heart fern stencil.

After that, I took the mask part from TCW 355 Casey and Penelope stencil, placed it onto my page and applied black paint around it with a cosmetic sponge. It’s an old stencil. The mask was bigger than the journal page but I wanted to use it.
Tip:
You can cut magazine pictures of models in different postures and use them as masks or stencils.

Finished the spread by adding more acrylic paint through the TCW872 Heart fern stencil.
