What Do You See? by Laura Holland

Supplies Used:
That’s
Crafty! Black Gesso (coming soon)
I started by braying lots of different colours of
acrylic paint onto 2 of the white/greyboard pages of my journal. I also scrapped
some of the paint on with an old credit card.
Taking the Alphabet stencil, I drew round each of
the letters I was using with a white Posca pen and then drew round the outside
of the letters with a black Posca pen.
I stamped the eyes from the Lynne’s Affirmations
stamp set 3 times directly onto the paint covered white/greyboard page and then
I stamped 3 acrylic rectangles with the eyes. I coloured the eyes with Posca
pens on the opposite side to my stamped image, as I wanted a 3d effect. I then stuck them over the stamped images on
the journal page with 3D Gloss Gel.
You can’t see it very well in my pictures but I
also stamped the butterfly wings from the Affirmations Stamps Set on the
opposite page of the journal. I stamped them in black and then stamped over
them again with the Moonlight White ink. I then stuck 3 of the hexagon shaped
acrylic pieces over the butterfly wings, again using 3D Gloss Gel.
Next I placed the Butterfly Wings stencil on my
journal pages and painted through this with black gesso. When this was dry, I placed
the stencil back over the image and stamped the text from the Textures stamp
set through the stencil. Keeping the stencil in place, I then drew round the
images with a metallic marker, removed the stencil and drew round the images
with a white Posca pen.

Superb break down of how to's Laura. Those acrylic shapes magnify the stamped images and really draw the eye in just like those Posca highlights.. Fab journal pages.. Hugs Tracey xx
