Carrie Todd!

I fell in love with this Fossil Fish stencil as soon as I saw it! 

I knew I wanted to use it in my journal.

I started by laying down some color with a brayer, using 2 different shades of blue, Golden’s Teal and Americana’s Bahama blue and white gesso.

Once I had a background I liked, I put down some pattern using the Diamond Waves stencil with a makeup sponge, just trying to give it a little depth. 

I used Americana’s Calypso blue.

Now it was time to use the awesome Fossil Fish stencil!  I laid it out in two parts, the first half on one side and the tail on the opposite side, and then did a little detail pen work to give the bones some depth.

From here I used the Diamond Waves stencil, and the Limited Edition CHA Bundle stencil from Traci Bautista to give an underwater look with reeds and rocks.  

I then spent some time giving them depth.

I finished the page off with the words “Chasing My Tail”

Thanks for playing.
