Let What You Love Be What You Do - Art Journal Page

This!!  I came across this page by Nike Rouss (Nika in Wonderland) quite a while ago before I was brave enough to attempt any mixed media on my own and since I had created my first page with Dylusions paints just a few days ago, I decided to recreate this page in my large journal.  The website doesn't appear to be up anymore, maybe I'll be able to find her videos on Youtube.

The process was so much fun!!  Started by adding Dylusions paint with a credit card.

Next was to add some Dylusions Ink Spray over the masking portion of a Dina Wakley butterfly stencil.  I love how the green and yellow peek through!

The bold black painted circles were added with my fingers.

Continuing with my fingers I added white paint to fill the circles.  

Some turquoise paint added to the circles and through a stencil.

Some white paint splatter!

And the finishing touches - sentiments from Donna Downey stamps and a white paint pen to add another layer to the circles.

I love that I have this in my Journal - so bright and vibrant!!
