Hi everyone,
I have an art journal spread for you. I hope you like it.

The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some products to work with, but the opinions I share here are solely my own.
I made this spread in my A4 sized sketch book.
The first step was gluing pieces of scrap paper on the journal page with TCW9011 Matte gel medium. Then, I added base layers of acrylic paints with a brayer.
Next, I did a little bit of background stamping with permanent ink and wrote on the journal page with a black paint pen.

After that, I applied a thick layer of TCW9009 Black modeling paste through the new TCW 949 Dragonfly Collage stencil.

When the modeling paste was dry, I added more layers of acrylic paints around the focal image and at the borders.

Finished the spread by adding a title and paint splatters.

That’s all for now.
Thank you for your precious time,
Take care,
