Documented Life Project 2015 – Week 50

2/9/2016

Today I'm sharing what I created for Week 50 of
The Original Documented Life Project™ The Journal!

December Theme

Storytelling with the Written Word

December 12 Challenge & Prompt
Art Challenge: Using Quotes & Lyrics as Storytelling
Journal Prompt: "One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter."
-James Earl Jones
Mary C. Nasser, Mixed Media Art Journal
For this week’s page, I actually used a piece of underpaper for the background! Inspired by the month's theme Storytelling with the Written Word, I knew I wanted to incorporate Seth Apter's stencil from StencilGirl Products' November StencilClub again.

For this page, I had fun experimenting with applying
DecoArt's Media Crackle Paste over the stenciling at the top. After allowing the Crackle Paste to dry overnight, I applied DecoArt's Media Antiquing Cream, too. I did my scribble journaling of song lyrics in black ink at the bottom of the page. Lastly, I added accents of white ink to enhance the stencil lettering and marks, too.

I've had requests to share even more detailed photos of the layers of surface textures I create, so here they are:
