Hi Kim here!
Today I just wanted to share an art journal page and the steps I did to create it. It was fun playing with just stamps, stencils and acrylic paints. My 'art journal' is an old magazine.
Hope you like it!
Step 1 Masked off the rest of the pages since I am a really messy creator. I just used some cheap foil and painter's tape. I used white acrylic on the base of the page in progress.
Step 2 Applied a wash of medium blue acrylic. Once I did that I proceeded to drop my wet rag on it. The splotches looked cool so I just left it.
Step 3 Add some ground in yellow acrylic. I smeared the paints using my fingers and an old giftcard. At the top, I wanted it brighter, so I added some more white.
Step 4 Darken the top and side using a much darker blue fluid acrylic. I like the fluid acrylics since they are fairly transparent.
Step 5 Smeared and swirled with fingers for texture.
Step 6 Added some random lines of contrasting color using the edge of an old giftcard.
Step 7 Acrylics dry fairly fast so it makes it fun to keep going. I used the Old Rose Prints ARTplorations stencil with some white gesso. I sprayed some Pink Glimmer Mist on while wet and while the stencil was in place.
Step 9 More stenciling using ARTplorations Oh My Stars and Bloom Silhouettes. I love the pop of white on the dark blue!
Thanks for reading, have a fabulous day!

Step 8 More stenciling with white acrylic using the Square Links ARTplorations stencil. Love this stencil for pattern and texture!
Step 10 Center stencil with ARTplorations LARGE Happy Flowers.
Finishing touches with STAMPlorations stamps and Stazon Ink. I used Bold Sentiments Imagine and Trendy Butterflies. The Old Rose Prints flowers were too pink, so I applied a bit of purple over them and it came out with a sort of tie-dye look. Using the same purple I added some random splatters.
