Mixed Media Art Journal Stencils Adventure

Meihsia Liu Simply Paper Crafts Mixed Media Art Journal Simon  Says Stamp Dies Tim Holtz Stencils Brave Adventure Journey 1
Hello, my beautiful crafty friends, welcome back for the new challenge this week. I hope you all had great time during the weekend. Our theme for this week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is "USE MORE THAN ONE STENCIL". Of course you can choose to use store bought stencils or make your own. 

I was inspired to create a mixed media art journal with Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Mosaic, Harlequin and Simon Says Stencil Leafy Frame Sending Sunshine for the patterns on the background.

To start this art journal page, I sprayed Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stain with various colors over the Tim Holtz Layering Stencils Mosaic and Harlequin for the background patterns. For the leave patterns around the left side of the page, I dabbed Tim Holtz Distress Paint Mustard Seed over the Simon Leafy Frame stencil then traced the leave pattern with a green color pencil.

The metal embellishments were colored with Tim Holtz Distress Paints. I die cut the butterflies and a  bicycle using Simon Says dies and Big Shot. All these embellishments were attached on the page with Tombow Glue.

To finish off the project, I added some sentiments with Idea-Ology Quotations Stickers. I really enjoy used these stencils creating the beautiful background patterns on this page and hope you got inspired, too. Join us this week and show us how you apply stencils on your project! I am looking forward to seeing it.

This is a really cool piece! The focal point is definitely the girl and how you gave her wings and a can-do attitude! I love the colors you used, especially on the keyhole.
