LIVE EVERY DAY WITH INTENTION

 Well hello creative crafters 

Welcome back 

I hope you are all well and had a howling good Halloween and adjusted to Daylight Savings.

Today I am sharing journal pages I created using different pastes and Fusions. 

I was looking to purchase an archway stencil and I could not find one I like, so 
I created my own. I printed a picture of an arch I liked and traced it onto acetate
and using a craft knife I cut it out 

I added a few extra features while cutting it out. But I absolutely love how
it turned out. 

I used the archway stencil and two others (flowers and leaves) with Texture paste
and Crackle paste. 

First I prepped the pages with Clear Gesso and adhered the printed door.

I then added the pastes alternating between them through the stencils. 

My page on the left is different to the page on the right as I wanted to 

experiment with different colours.

Once the paste was dry, I used Fusions Dye ink powders to add colour to the pages.

On the door page, I highlighted the brickwork on the printed image with acrylic pens

and I created black shadows around the Archway texture.

On the other page I added stamps with black and brown stamp pads. 

Finally I added some splatters and my quotes.

Here are a few close ups: 

This is one of my fave's at the moment and had so much fun creating it. 

I hope you feel inspired to create your own stencils and work of art.

Thank you for popping in and stay safe.
