[Challenge win: Top rocker at 613 Avenue Create challenge]
Here’s a recent art journal spread of mine –

I again used a gel plate for this spread, but with better results when used for acrylics smooshes this time. After making the smooshes, I used stencils and acrylics, both with the gel plate and without (where I pounced the acrylics over the stencils.) I also pounced acrylics at the edges of the spread.

For the quote, I used dye inks with stamps on a different piece of paper to make the circular shapes, which I fussy cut. I used watercolor pencils (and a water brush pen) at the edges, then adhered the circles to the background. I then used more watercolor pencils (again, with a water brush pen) for the lines and outlines around the circles. Ta da!
With this spread, I’m joining these challenges –
Another glorious page. I really love the colors in this one.

Thank you, Ginny! Picking colors is always fun, and it’s gratifying whenever it ends up working out looks-wise too. 🙂

Thank you! I haven’t really evaluated my art, but I definitely feel less disappointed whenever I make something, even if it turns out really bad. Guess I’ll take that! 🙂
