Hello, it\u00b4s Sanna here today with another Art Journal page share. For this project I used the Mix It Up 7<\/a> and the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp sets with the Mini Marks 1 <\/a>and the Sketchy Leaves 7<\/a> stencils. The Mixed Sentiments set is no longer available, but our Mix A Sentiment<\/a> set is a good replacement for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started by applying the ground espresso Distress Paint randomly with a palette knife onto the page. Next I took some leftover collage paper bits and adhered them around the edges to the page. After that I applied layers of Distress Paint in antique linen, spun sugar and tumbled glass to the background. Some parts of the residue collage papers got cover with paint, some didn\u00b4t. After that I added some stamping using the Mix It Up 7<\/a> stamp set and grey and brown stamp inks and the number stamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As my next layer I added some stamped “punchinella” pattern with a light grey stamp ink and the Mix It Up 7<\/a> stamp set here and there. As my next step I used the Mini Marks 1<\/a> stencil and Distress Paint picket fence to add some stenciling to the page. My paint is a bit older and thicker already, so it works great as texture paste here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As my focal point I used a previosly made Brusho leaf collage fodder piece (see video her<\/a>e) and for the sentiment I stamped and fussy cut a sentiment from the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp set. For final touches and additional interest I also had to add a few droplets of Gloss Spray in cheddar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
