Art Journaling: Flowers and Ampersands

I had a ton of fun in this art journal spread! These pages are from my black cardstock Dylusions art journal and layer acrylics, white gesso, StencilGirl Products, a Rae Missigman's Art Card™ and Art-C ephemera!

Below is a detailed shot of images I created with Rae Missigman's Modern Buds and Imaginary Bloom stencils along with Mary Beth Shaw's ornate Ampersand stencil. The layers and surface texture of the background are more visible in this detailed photo, too:

In the detail below, I've incorporated another Ampersand  – this one's from Art-C, and I dry-brushed teal acrylic on its cork surface. You can also see Rae Missigman's Art Card™ which I did not alter one bit! I loved how it complemented the pages just as it is!

Of course, I had to add my scribble journaling in black ink! And I added accents of white ink and black ink to enhance the stenciling, too. I've really enjoyed drawing on the layers of dry paint!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
​Hope you have a wonderful and creative week!
