Hi friends! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Priss<\/a> here today and I’m happy to share with you my new art journal tutorial. My square Art Journal is too busy right now, so I had to remove half of the sheets and with them, I’ll make a new one with the same format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I chose one of my wallpapers and pasted it over the Art Journal page. Then I stamped in two opposite corners, first with Mix a Sentiment 1<\/a> irregularly with gray ink and then on top, with Pencil Marks 5<\/a> in black ink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used a stencil and crackle paste to create a fourth layer that allows me to soften the contrast and add additional texture. Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo of this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it was time to work on bringing my focal points to life. At first, I wasn’t sure what kind of focal point I wanted. Hesitantly, I stamped some inky friends<\/a> and the two beautiful cats from the Purr-fect<\/a> set.
I stamped them on watercolor paper and colored them with my Tropicals watercolors. Then, as always, I added my style with Black and White acrylic markers. Finally, I chose this cute little cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stamped the two round stamps of the set Pencil Marks 5<\/a> over book sheets and fuzzy cut them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I usually use scraps of paper, silk ribbon washi tapes, and fabrics in my projects, so I chose a good amount of them to put under the kitty. I glued and stitched them together with my sewing machine to add these details that always make me happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I added some splatters with fuchsia liquid paint and also painted with it some elements and focal points to integrate them with the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now I leave you some photos with details of the project.  I hope you like them as much as I do when making them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
