February is a sort of nondescript month as
far as I am concerned. The days are still short and spring seems far away.
Sometimes there is snow but even if not, it is mostly cold. What better time to
do some arting, so here is my February project step-by-step:
1. Collage
vintage and tissue paper in your art journal. I’m working in a 9 x 9” Bee
Company Mixed Media one.
2. Using
Distress Markers as well as paints add color to the pages and remove some of
it again with a baby wipe, through Traci Bautista's Silkscreen stencil and the medium
stencil from Mary Beth Shaw's Private Collection 16.2 set.
3. Spray
on the house (on the left page) and the face (on the right) with spray paint (I
used Liquitex) through the small and large stencils from Pam Carriker's Her Story stencil set.
4. Stencil
on house again using the small stencil from step 3 but this time with grey Distress
Crackle Paint.
5. Outline
face and house with a permanent black marker.
6. Stamp
quotation onto vintage paper with a variety of stamp alphabets, tear out the
individual words, edge with a suitable color and a permanent stamp pad and
glue onto the pages as shown with a glue stick.
7. Glue
on postage stamps as shown.
8. Drip
white acrylic ink onto the pages.
9. Edge
the pages with a permanent archival ink pad in a matching color.
Beautiful art journal pages.
