Mixed Media Art Journaling with StencilGirl® Products


I have been a long-time fan of StencilGirl® Products and it's an honor to be a guest blogger here, today.

I treat my stencils as prompts when I use them in my art journal. In this video, I'm sharing my thought process as I add elements to this journal spread: from the choice of colors, to picking specific affirmations, to why I blend some things back into the background vis-a-vis others.


As much as I love knowing more about the technique artists use, I find it even more intriguing to learn about their vision as they create their works of art. I hope this gives you some insight into mine.
I used acrylic inks, distress inks, gesso, glass bead gel, tar gel, acrylic paints, color shift paints, wax-based water-soluble color pencils, reinkers and pens for this spread.
In addition, here are the specific stencils I used:
Pretty as a Peacock Stencil
Segments Small Stencil
Succulents Stencil
Doodle It Layered Circles and Squares Stencil
I hope you enjoy these closeups that really accent the various textures, the color shift paints I used and the symbolism.

Happy creating!
Mansi.
