I have a page from my small Art Journal to show today. I actually started this back in May when the Art Journal Journey challenge was "in the Sea" but I was too busy to finish it until recently.
This is a mixed media piece but I can no longer remember the steps. I used acrylic inks and paints along with a couple of stencils. I also added some glitter with spray glue and silver embossing enamel.
Stamps: Quote is by Impression Obsession which I used crackle paint over top. Sea horse Set by Designs by Ryn.
It's hard to see but I also used Design by Ryn's Floral Spiral Stencil in the background. The flower die cuts are from Heartfelt Creations. I used white cardstock, blended ink, molded and added micro beads to the centers.
You can see some of the detail on the close up below:
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week,
Shirleyx

Hi Shirley, it's been a while since I"ve had a lookin, but saw your comment at another blog, so was able to click and zip over. I'm loving your new blog background...oh it looks like a wonderfully sprayed background too! I always enjoy seeing the fab background of your cards, along with the great Ryn stamps. This one has some gorgeous color combinations, and the textures & designs that subtly show in the background. This one is a just so lovely - as your projects always are. TFS & Hugs. Stay cool.
Hi Shirley, I am a little late as am catching up after being away. I love this journal page and the flowers and the seahorses have the look of mother of pearl which is so pretty and the background and your choice of colours works beautifully. Gorgeous! x
Hello Shirley hope you are well and keeping busy. I think your under the sea scene is beautiful. The background texture you have created is fab.
Take care Julie xx
I swear Shirley - you have the best ideas with the most beautiful color combos!
As you will be able to tell - I am trying to play some catch up!!
Sandy xx
