Hello and Happy New Year to you all!!
Today, I am sharing my first project for The Crafter's Workshop for 2018!
I have been a little obsessed with my art journal these days and below is the project I created.
I was inspired by The Beatles song ‘Blackbird’ and the lyrics, which I adore. I am always inspired by song lyrics for an art journaling spread and these immediately made me think of this intricate stencil, appropriately entitled ‘Tweet.’ I also used the other two stencils and media shown below.
The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project. The opinions I share are solely my own.
After prepping my pages using the White Gesso, I brought out All the blues, greens, violets and black Distress Inks. Using the star and dot parts of this 12x12 stencil, I added layers of ink across the top portions of the left and right sides of the pages.

Next, I added light blues, greys and black around the perimeter of the pages.
I went back to add another layer of ink to provide more contrast after adding the black, although it still wasn’t dark enough. I decided to go over those areas with some of the Heavy Body Acrylic paints.
After that layer dried, I used the Modeling Paste to add some of the small dots and star shapes in this ‘Galaxy’ stencil. I had intended to only use the small shapes of this stencil, but ended up using a portion of the galaxy arch shape to frame around the area I planned to write my the lyrics.
Even though this stencil is very intricate, I knew that the Black Modeling Paste would be the perfect medium to highlight this design.
After writing the lyrics I used lots of pens and markers to add some detail and embellishment to the spread.
Here are the detail photos and final project!
Thanks for stopping by the Blog today! I hope this has been a bit of inspiration to kick off your New Year.
