Hi Friends, Thanks for stopping by today, I'm here posting on my latest project! My family and I had gone on holidays at the end of June, during the countless hours of driving I managed to get 25 birds fussy cut. I also added some Tim Holtz rubons to the birds. Once we returned home, I went through my journals and discovered I had at least 25 backgrounds that just needed a focal image, and that's where the idea came from. 1/25  2/25 3/25 I hope you enjoy what I've created!

Hi Friends! I'm here to share the last of the art journal pages I had created before Spring was over. Here is a work in progress page using Tim Holts tissue wrap, gesso, and Lindy's sprays. I used a Shnibblybits stencil for the circles. And here is the completed page. I used a pencil to trace the circles which was nice for a little shading and I simply used gesso on the rest of the page. I used a bold white Faber Castell pitt pen to add highlights. This is my last page of Spring. This page was created with old book page scraps, masking tape, and various washi tape. Then a light coat of white gesso. I had seen another artist use a brayer to add Lindy's so I had to do the same.  This is the final product. All I did was add some black ink circles, a few sentences and a butterfly. I really hope you like what I've created, you can follow me on Instagram @lisabakkermixedmedia to see my current pages. I will get them here but may take a bit lo...

Hi Friends, Thank you for stopping by to see my latest art journal page! I'm so happy to of had some creative time this past week, keeping this page simple, I was able to get one done and published quickly. I broke into my stash of my most favourite paper, the Farmhouse Paper Company's BTW collection, choosing the lined note pad paper for my background. I applied two coats of Liquitex clear gesso, drying with a heat tool in-between layers. Next, I applied modeling paste randomly through my Moroccan circles stencil, from Shnibblybits, I let it dry overnight. Next came the colour, I haven't used Twinkling H2O's in quite some time and found that the exact colours I was wanting were in the sets that I have. I sprayed the page with water and used the already moistened H2O's, just by adding some to the page and getting it to run with extra water. Once I was happy with the colour I let it dry overnight. This page sat for a few day's until I figured o...

Hi Friends, Thanks for stopping by to see my latest art journal page! The past few weeks have been a doozie for me and am thankful to have completed a page to share. My husband suggested moving my creative space, which resulted in doubling my work space but it really put me in a funk that was hard to shake, the weather being so poor really didn't help either. I posted on Instagram some amazing vintage books that I acquired, which also overwhelmed my situation, it's funny how less is actually more, and more is too much! Luckily, I can see the light and am pushing through. As most of my pages do, this one stared with old book pages and some Tim Holtz tissue wrap. My favourite thing about cutting my own stencils are the "negative" pieces! I used the "negative" pieces from a  Shnibblybits   Moroccan Tile  stencil, just using all purpose glue to adhere them to the page. Once the glue was dry I gessoed the whole thing. Next, I added a thick layer...
