You Belong Amongst the Flowers - Art Journal Page

Whoa!!  How's this for bright!!!  I'm having a bit of fixation with Art By Marlene if you can't tell by my last three posts :). For this background I simply collaged the whole page with a piece of her Rice Paper then added some white paint through the flower stencil, some stamping along the edges with Archival Ink and black splatters.  Easy peasy!! 

This time I tried my hand at watercoloring one of her flower images with her water-colour paints.  I need more practice for sure, but I still love how it turned out!  After watercoloring I added some dots with acrylic markers and then some white gel pen to the edges of the petals and the dots. I adhered this to my page and used a black Stabillo All pencil around the bottom for a bit of a shadow and then added the sentiment which was first applied to white cardstock and then cut.

My 6x6 journal is starting to fill up nicely :)

Special Delivery - Mixed Media Canvas

These two canvases came about by accident.  My daughter was experimenting with paint pouring and these were the two she made with reds and greens.  She left them to dry and then I started to see something......

I collaged some Tim Holtz Christmas ephemera on to them and covered everything with a matte medium.  I then added some silver paste through a word stencil, ran around the edges of everything to ground them a bit, added a couple acrylic stars and they were done!!

Now she has her own hand made Christmas decorations.
