Alternate Take on Christmas, a Blank Page Muse Post

Hello! I am back with another art journal page. For the month of December, the Blank Page Muse team is doing an Alternate Take on Christmas theme. For my journal page, I colored the pines with color blue instead of the traditional brown. 

The BPM products I used on this page are BPM Pinecones stencil and the BPM Handwritten Note Art rubber stamp. 

 

I used Post-It Notes for masking. I also used small tipped blending brushes to apply ink for detailing and applying ink to small areas of the stencil.

 

I created a mask so I can apply ink all over the pine cones for a solid look. I used a very light blue ink for this purpose. 

 

I stamped the handwritten stamp around the pine cones without using an acrylic block for an organic look. 

I searched for a pine cone quote and wrote this on the page. I blended gray ink on the edge of the page to frame the quotation and the pine cone. 

I hope you like today's page. Please visit the Blank Page Muse blog for more details.

Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
