The recipe goes like this: Start with scrap pieces of fun foam.
Cut some shapes for stamps.
Add new stencils that you just had to buy.
And a pinch of Pearscent watercolors for the background.
Judiciously add a hint of acrylic.
Humm. The hint was too strong. Not to worry. Brush with a mixture of gesso and matt medium.
Add a sprinkle of stamps and stencils in the corner. Voila, a journal page ready for the next layer. Focal image? Pen work? Writing?
A little collage, yes.
On another example of layering, I test paint colors on paper that I can use later for journal pages. A layer of gesso was painted over the test colors. Then alcohol ink was brushed on the stencils.
Finally a mixture of ink and acrylics were stamped with many of these hand carved stamps.

The results remind me of a tropical ocean floor and will be a colorful journal page.
