Happy  Valentine’s Day everyone!

Today, I’m here to share with you a Journal Page using the

Hero Arts Digital Download: Winged Friends.

I started by creating my background with Neocolor II Crayons and then used an Alpha stencil and Ranger Texture Paste for dimension. I added some more texture to my background with Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment Ink and Hero Arts Map Grid Stencil . Be sure to let the ink dry before moving on. I also used a Heidi Swapp Stencil and Black acrylic paint for some different shapes. But you can you use any stencil- Check out the great selection here. I stamped a retired Script stamp using Jet Black Archival Ink

For the butterfly and dragonfly, I started by printing them onto tissue paper- do this by taping the tissue to the back of a piece of cardstock and printing- I then used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color them. I made the Butterfly bigger and brighter as  I wanted it to be my focal point. I then glued them using Ranger Matte Medium. I finished by edging the images with Faber Castell Pitt Big Brush Pen and doodling with a White Signo Gel Pen.

I hope I’ve inspired you to have some fun with Mixed Media. :o)
