Jessica Sporn has a delightful new set of stencils out with StencilGirl, MaryBeth Shaw. I have a great fondness for squares so am attracted to random squares stencils.
Using Jessica's stencil as a prompt, I began with layers of ink and the stencil. You don't need to use the entire stencil, using parts of it with different colors of ink makes them more painterly.
For a bit of pop, I pulled out my gel pens. Nice warm colors on such a cold day cheers me up.
Next came a hand-carved stamp.
How about some gesso?
A picture of seed pods literally fell out of my journal. Oh! That is where I'm going.
And so it goes. Try using a stencil for a journal prompt. Using Jessica's Random Squares stencil lead me in a direction and the process pulled me along for a ride. I'll add some writing and drawing to this page next.
Here are all the blog hoppers in Jessica's hop. Jessica will have a giveaway on her blog as well.
