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.
