A moody page for StencilGirl

 Hey Stencil Fans!


Natalie here today with a little Art Journal page for you!

This one is all about layers - but layers of Moody black and layers of words.


Last month here in Australia, I released my very own range of Collage Papers so I thought I'd build on one and create a deep and dark page.

I started with a gessoed page and then used gel medium to adhere the collage paper to the page.


I then used a random script stamp to add some words with black archival ink followed by a stabilo stubby black pencil to add a wash across the top of the page.




Next I used the Words to Live Stencil by Carolyn Dube and a Black Spray ink to add a layer of words over the black wash. I masked off the face detail with paper towel so I didn't get any over spray.



Once dry, I used a black shimmer paint over the Sacred Words and Marks stencil by Jessica Sporn to create a new layer of words. Using the shimmer paint made the letter and words stand out and give it a bit of a shine.


For the focal point word on the page, I used a pale grey paint through the Seth Apter Unfinished stencil and then used a grey brush tip paint pen to add detail.



I finished by adding a few marks from the Floral Frolics Stencil by Wendy Brightbill around the page to tie in some of the colour I used in the title.



I am loving the moody feel to this page and love the layered letters and words!


 

Something a little different for your day.

Thanks for stopping by!
