Hey, Isa here! Today I\u2019m showing you how to create a mixed media art journal page using stamps from Pencil Marks 3<\/a> on an alcohol ink background together with bits and pieces you have from former tutorials or from your stash (and we know we\u2019ve got loads of them!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It all starts with covering my journal page with a solid color print from a former gel plate printing session. I love the grungy look of that teal print, it gives a grassy look and feel to the background. I added the \u00ab Art Defined \u00bb stamp here and there, to provide more texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I have a few sheets of yupo paper that I used with bright happy alcohol ink colors, I stamped them with several shapes before deciding to go for the Pencil Marks 3<\/a> one and fussy cut it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love playing with circle shapes, and this project is no exception! I punched different-sized circles in a watercolor-like printed sheet I made in one of my previous tutorials (see Mixed Media Journal Page with Sketchy Flowers and Watercolor-Like background<\/a>). Then I stamped them loosely with one of the stamps out of the \u00a0Pick a Number<\/a>\u00a0 set before gluing them down on the page. The tiny orange dots \u00ab\u00a0holding\u00a0\u00bb the stem are painted with a Q-tip on rice paper, and make a perfect echo to the circle shapes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love how the stitch stamp from\u00a0Mixed Media Borders<\/a> holds the whole composition together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I felt there was something missing on the left, I used a large stripe of yellow stamped tracing paper (see my other tutorial Mixed Media Art Journal Page With Stamped Tracing Paper <\/a><\/strong>) and added it “as is” straight there. The way the underneath circles and background appear is gorgeous!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope this has inspired you to use up your stash and experiment with alcohol ink backgrounds to fussy cut your favorite stamped shapes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
