What Does My Heart Say?


Hi Stencil Lovers!
I wanted to share a spread I have in my art journal
using lots of stencils and layers.


Where do I even begin?????
There's magazine pictures, tickets, numbers, stamping,
fabric, stitching, tissue paper and several stencils.
I see bike wheels and circles and chevrons.
Then I added color to the circles with gelatos.


The smallest of the July 2014 StencilClub stencils
 was perfect for the background of this.
I liked the busy-ness of it.


I knew I wanted to use Terri Stegmiller's
Bold Flowers Stencil as the focus design.
I love that there are different sized flowers on this stencil.
I used a sponge with white gesso for this.


I am also adding more color to the background as I go.
Gelatos and Neocolor II Crayons mostly.


At this point I am not ready to do the flowers...
but my background is where I like it and I decide on my message.
What Does My Heart Say?
Perfect.


I love the texture collage offers.
That strip of fabric with the stitching is fabulous!


I thought the flowers really needed to be bold!


Play Play Play....


There you go.....
