This weeks theme at Sunday Post Card art is “Birthstones” and I am honored to have been asked to host this week.

I made my post card using old ledger paper, mylar stencils and paint stamped on the background, Paper Whimsy image and ephemera. The “birthstones” are little faux Amethyst, my own birthstone.

I can’t wait to see what each of you create with the theme this week! sundaypostcardart.wordpress.com

Just a few projects to share with you today. An altered vintage glove, fabric collage, and fabric pouch with speckled birds egg graphic. We are waiting on a big “snow” storm that is supposed to hit tonight – a little excited about the whole thing. Our winter has been so mild here, it doesn’t even seem like February right now.

Create your own art journal using the lovely Moleskine journals, stencils and beautiful faces all available in the Paper Whimsy shoppe. I loved using the stencils because they are so versatile (altered canvas, books, cards) and the technique is so simple. I would love to see pages you have created with these projects, and hope you will share with me!

Technique:

(1) Paint the background of your Moleskine journal page using colors that coordinate well with each other. You will be building up your layers.

(2) Add journal tags to sections of page with matte gel medium. Add Beautiful face image to page with matte gel medium.

(3) Using stencil templates dab paint around images and pages building layers and color dimension. I did several layers of different paints.

(4) Add accents (flowers and birds) to page. Add stickles to center. Add word art.

Supplies:
