Art Journaling with Distress Inks & Collage

Hi there, Susanne here sharing a mixed media art journal page with a Distress Ink background using our Wheels stencil together with different stamps and a focal image made with a leaf from our Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil.

On this spread I played with Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, Victorian Velvet Distress Inks and Bundled Sage in the Distress Oxide Version. I applied the inks with a mini gelli plate and added the Bundled Sage with our Wheels stencil. I just used the stencil as a stamp by inking it up with the ink pad, spritzing it with some water and then pressing it onto the page.
Once the background was dry, I added even more texture with stamps from our Mix It Up 7 and Mix It Up 1 sets.

My focal point is created with some left over collage papers and a leaf made with our Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil. I’m going to link up a video on how I made this underneath.
I stamped the word “be” with our A to Z stamps with white embossing powder to a piece of black paper to finish the title of the page, which now says: “be okay”
