Today we are going to create a mixed media journal page.

To start I placed some white gesso on top of the page and spread this using the paint brush from the Mixed Media Kit.

After the white gesso dries, To start I added in white gesso to the acrylic violet paint by Finnabair and the Lindy's Gang Magical foxglove fuchsia, you'll want to mix, as shown below. Next I scrunched up a napkin, then dipped it in the purple and pounced the paint around the edge of the page. Next I used the Lindy's Gang Magical foxglove fuchsia and pounced it underneath the violet paint.

Next I used the background chipboard Brick Wall Panel and used the Glamour Gel and painted it all over the chipboard. Set aside to dry.

I did use black gesso along with the Finnabair manuscript stencil in a few areas on the page. I set aside to dry while I painted my chipboard pieces. Next I painted the (nature) flower chipboard piece with the brown Glamour Gel and applied lilac and violet gelatos on the flower petals.

Once the black gesso dried I cut the brick wall chipboard piece and used the 3D Gloss Gel to adhere to the art journal page.

Here are some photos of the finished art journal page. I really like how this turned out. I also added some glizy gold throughout the page. We used the flowers from the Scrapbook kit and I fussy cut out the butterflies and the kitten on the stack of books from the Scrapbook paper.

I also added some art stones and topped them off with some gold spritz, and I did black and white splatters to finish off the page.

Here are a few close ups of the page.

Here is a close up of the Brick Wall Chipboard. I just the speckles of gold with in the paint.

Creating the mixed media art journal page was so fun and combining the paints and placing the gold lines to create a marbling look makes it look so pretty with the pink and purple colors.

I like how the black stenciled words stick out amongst the bright colored flowers. The sentiment is from the sentiment booklet that comes in the Mix Media Kit.
