Acrylic & Stencils on Art Journal

 

Hello! I am on the Blank Page Muse blog with this art journal page. I used the Summer Wildflowers Postoids Collage Art Rubber Stamp and Sunflower and Dragonflies reusable plastic art Stencil. 

I used acrylic markers for the coloring. Acrylic markers are opaque which allows you to add color on top of another color without altering the original color. Blending may be challenging with acrylic markers.

I masked the postage edges using an artist tape. To lessen the stickiness of the tape, I repeatedly adhered the tape to my forearm and removed it. You can also do this trick on your clothing, your shirt or your shorts/pants.

To create this into a postage, I stamped the cost of a first class mail on the top left corner of the die cut. Can you believe how much it costs to mail a first class mail these days? 

I did not do a good job stamping the letter c. I colored the blank areas with a black gel pen to fix this. 

The sentiment stamp I used came as a one liner sentiment. I wanted to create it into a two liner sentiment to make it fit on the right corner of the postage die cut. I masked one of the words and inked the unmasked word. 

After I removed the tape, I stamped the inked sentiment to the bottom right corner of the postage die cut. 

I cleaned the stamp and repeated the same masking-inking technique on the other word.

I stamped the inked sentiment on top of the other word to complete the two line sentiment.

This is how the art journal page looks like from the front. 

I hope you like today's art journal page. Please visit the BPM blog for more details on this project and for more inspiration. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
