Hi,
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 spread on a kraft cardstock. I applied a layer of TCW9007 Clear Gesso to the page and let it dry. Clear gesso is matte and translucent when dry.

Next, I glued tissue paper with TCW9011 Matte Gel medium and applied acrylic paints with a brush.

After that, I applied TCW9005 White Opaque Modeling paste through the TCW863 Sunflower meadow stencil with a palette knife and colored the flowers with oil pastels.

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

Beautiful!
I like when there is an actual video to watch so we see all the steps. This one looks like Stamps were used and a border also. It’s beautiful, but wish that the complete process was available.
