Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #46

It's time for a new Mixed Media Monthly Challenge. This month we are sponsored by Marabu. They are a manufacturer of art supplies. They sent the design team a stencil, art crayon, art spray and acrylic mousse to use on our projects. We ask that you use a stencil and at least 3 mediums on your project. 

I used the stencil with the three birds and all the supplies they sent me on an art journal page. I really liked the Acryl Mousse and the way it was very light and went easily through the stencil. 

Filled in the outside edges with the blue art spray and colored the birds with the blue crayon and Dina Wakely Scribble Sticks. I outlined the birds with a white pen and a gray Faber Castell Big Brush Pen. Finally, I added some dots to accent the leaves. 

Unity Friends with Flair Friday

This is my Unity Friends With Flair Entry. I'm starting on the backs of my Faber Castell Design Memory Craft chipboard mini journal pages. I used DecoArt Decoupage to cover the background that was a little stained. My napkins were 3 ply, so I took out 2 of the layers and only used the layer with graphics. Since napkins are such thin paper you can see through them and little bit of the pink that was on the journal page shows through which give the background a little more interest. I took some pictures while I made this.

This is the original napkin and the my journal board with some pink stains.

After I tore up the napkin and decoupaged it on the journal board.

I used a Unity Itty Bitty Stamp set called "Wonderful". I colored in the border of the circle with Distress Markers in Seedless Preserves and Fossilized Amber. I stamped with Versafine Archival Black Ink. I adhered the bird in the circle on the board with foam tape. It was another fun and easy mini journal page. By the way, I got these pretty napkins at Tuesday Morning. Thanks for stopping by!
