Mixed Media Stencil Project : An Impromptu Flat Tire Ditch Picnic

These easy Art journaling pages came together highlighting the Geo Pattern Stencil Small, the Y Repeat Stencil, the 1” Industrial Font Stencil and the Hexagon Stencil

What You Will Need:

Geo Pattern Small Stencil
Y Repeat Stencil
1” Industrial Font Stencil
Hexagon Stencil
Washi Tapes
Collage Papers and Ephemera
Clear and White Gesso
Clear and Black Ink Pad
Black and Vintage Beeswax Embossing Powders
Crackle Paste
Water Spray Bottle
A vintage Photo
Hole punch
Pastels and a Glue Stuck

Step 1:

Glue down some collage papers and place Washi Tapes under and over the collage papers. Cover both journal pages with Clear Gesso.

Step 2:

Place the Industrial Font Stencil horizontally and sponge Black Permanent Ink through the numbers 0 to 3. Replace the numbers 4 to 7 in between the gaps and repeat with black ink.

Step 3:

Place the Geo Stencil down in opposite corners and sponge embossing clear embossing ink through the stencil with a sponge. Sprinkle an embossing powder of your choice onto the ink and heat set to liquify the crystals. ( I used Vintage Beeswax for an encaustic look and to act as a resist for future rose paint to stand out from the pattern)

Step 4:

Create some white space and veil the edges of some of your collage squares with white gesso. I knew I would be placing the photo and the collage elements on the upper right hand portion and didn’t want that area to be too busy so I lightly applied the gesso to still see some of what was going on under but give a quieter backdrop to the focal point.

Step 5:

Place the Y Repeat Stencil around the edges leaving some blank spots and spread crackle paste through the pattern. (Immediately clean your stencil and let air dry).

Step 6:

Add some acrylic paint, ink or spray inks to some of the crackled pattern to highlight the cracks and spray with water to get the pigments to move. (I used a rose color acrylic paint)

Step 7:

Add a few grungy marks around the edges with a stamp and black ink. Use just part of a stamp so it’s not a big feature but an edging element.

Step 8:

Add some final collage elements. I glued down a vintage photo as a focal point and ran graphic film noir tape vertically over the photo with some remnant hexagons that were left over from another project. A typed quote “37 Miles To Go and An Impromptu Flat Tire Ditch Picnic” finished this journal entry along with some hole punched orange pastel circles for a little hit…

Hope you found some inspiration in these pages, happy journaling!

Mixed Media Journal Entry #8 “Hope is a Thing with Blossoms” With Embroidered Blossoms!

Beginner Art Journaling in an altered book using Stencils two different ways.

Materials Needed:

Any hardback book or novel
Glue stick
Clear and White Gesso
Flourish Borders Stencil 8-pack
Thatched Texture Stencil
2 Quatrefoil Stencil Small
Blossoms Stencil
Color Infusions or Magicals 
 (You could substitute watercolors)
Painted Papers or Collage Paper
Acrylic Paint in San, Chalk, Periwinkle 
Washi Tape
Molding Paste
Water in a Spray Bottle
Chalk Paste in Sand
Watercolors
White Cotton fabric 
Embroidery Floss
Embossing Powder

Step 1: Prepare your Book
You can work in an art journal but recycling an old hardback book or novel laying around is a fun way to start journaling with little investment. I usually glue the left page to the page behind with a glue stick and do the same thing to the right page to reinforce the pages depending on the paper thickness. Next coat both pages in a layer of white gesso, A lighter coat see your text shows through, or do a couple of coats to cover completely. (It’s a good idea to tear out three or four pages between every journal entry to allow for thick layers that get built and then discarded pages can be used as collage elements

Use a couple painted papers, magazine pages or collage papers that you have laying around and tear into different width strips.

Step 2: Develop a Background
Using the glue stick, adhere your paper strips in a pleasing pattern onto your pages.
Choose one or two acrylic paints, (I chose a sand color lightened with white that blended in with the back of my dictionary page strips) Paint over the white gessoed blank background and blend in scrap paper strips.

Place the Thatched Texture Stencil over your painted papers and sponge sand-colored acrylic paint pounced through the pattern. (I love this stencil as it can be used vertically, horizontally, or on an angle for completely different effects and also stacked over top of itself to make a hatched pattern ;). This technique helps harmonize your collage paper strips with the background.

Step 3: Add Washi Tape and more Stenciling
Choose a few different Washi Tapes, masking tape can be substituted here. I always use a coat of clear gesso over the washi tape to let future mediums adhere better. Place the Quatrefoil 2 Stencil over the washi and pounce periwinkle paint through the stencil onto both pages.

Using the Thatched Texture Stencil a second time, spread molding paste through the pattern with a silicone brush, gift card, or palette knife, and let dry. 

Step 4: Final Layers with Stenciling Two Ways
Infusions or Magicals are small jars of pigments that can be sprinkled onto the page then spritzed with water so the colors magically appear. This technique was used over the dried molding paste Thatched Pattern. (It can be fun to tilt the pages this way or that for the colors to move around and you can also blot back the color if you don’t want it so vibrant)

Next, spread Sand Chalk Paste (or Molding Paste tinted Sand) through the Blossoms Stencil onto the discarded book pages and cut out when dried.

Using the same Blossoms Stencil, trace the pattern onto some plain fabric and use embroidery floss to stitch over the design. Glue the threads on the backside and when dry cut out your Blossoms. (This pattern embroidered on a pair of jeans would be fun!)

Step 5: Apply Blossoms and Final details

Glue your paper Blossoms down with a glue stick and glue your embroidered blossoms down with a thicker glue-like gel paste or fabric glue. Hand paint some details on your blossoms with watercolors and a white gel pen. I next cut out and adhered my quote, “Hope is a thing with Blossoms” and framed it with the Flourish Border Stencil by sponging clear embossing powder through the stencil and heat setting white embossing powder. Add some stamping with brown ink in a few spots and use the same brown ink around the edges of both journal pages. Finish by heat setting some Baked Texture Powder smudged onto a few areas over clear embossing ink and you’ve completed the first entry in your altered book! 

Happy Journaling!

Mixed Media Journal #6 “Sailing into Summer and Counting Down the Days”

“Sailing into Summer and Counting Down the Days”  The idea for this art journal entry came from the Hexagons Stencil and the vision to make paper coins that could simulate flower petals.

Materials Needed:

Start out by sprinkling Infusions or Magical Powders onto the journal pages, I used two versions of blues but there are other colors like browns and pinks that come to life when sprayed with water.  I pressed both damp pages together to make a Rorschach image and let dry.

I laid out the Hexagon Pattern I wanted and traced the shapes to have an idea where these coins would eventually go.  Next, add some Numbers Washi Tape, (adding some extra glue stick under the Washi and clear gesso over the top helps to adhere more permanently…)  Place the Radial 2 stencil over both “Hexagon Flowers” and use blue acrylic paint with a makeup sponge through the stencil.

Place the Hexagons Stencil over and neutral ephemera or collage-paper in hand, trace and cut out the hexagon shapes, and edge in brown ink.  I used the round descending circles from the Patterns and Bookmark Bullet Journal Stencil to make the center of my flowers by spreading Chalk Paste in White through them.  The Blossoms Stencil was then used in random spots on 6 of the other “petals” in a contrasting Sand Color.

I used brown ink through the Bookmark Flowers from the Bullet Journal Stencil down the right edge and in several other spots and added other numbers Washi Tape vertically up the right side. The Industrial Font Stencil was the perfect thing to reinforce the edges and layer over the Washi tape.  White embossing powder was heat-set over clear ink and through that stencil continue to heat-set the numbers off on the pages and reinforce the idea behind this spread.

The final details included a vintage sailboat photo, some hot pink punches dictionary circles, a numbers stamp with aqua embossing powder in 2 places, sand and black embossing powders to grunge up the edges, and the typewritten title of this journal entry.

Happy Journaling,
Tracy

“Day of the Dead and DEAD of the Day” Stenciled Journal Art

This is another beautiful post from artist Tracy Hickman aka @anonymous.palette on Instagram.

“Day of the Dead and DEAD of the Day” These pages were so fun to make. Totems of sorts started by collating vintage tickets and ration stamps on a white gesso background over altered book pages. I collaged two tea bags on top of these elements to soften the colors and get some grungy business going. I next used the Thatched Repeat Pattern Stencil (11″x11″) in a cascading vertical layout and sprayed Distress Oxide Spray from Ranger through the cutouts. After heat setting, I used a little bit of white gesso to feather in and create a cascading pattern.

I next used Y Repeat Pattern Stencil (8.5″x11″) and sponged white gesso through in another cascading V shape starting at the top. This Sugar Skull, Sugar Skull – 2 Layer, I turned it upside down and spread Ranger Texture Crackle Paste through with a palette knife. An important stop using this crackle paste is to let it dry naturally. I then used a series of distress oxide sprays From Ranger (cracked pistachio, fired brick, and mermaid lagoon) to color and highlight the cracks in the sugar skull. I placed that same stencil back on top and sprayed white Sugar spray paint from Ironlak so the pattern could jump out. I next painted a spray ink from Lindy’s Gang, black orchid silver, Is the background of the skull to contrast the features.

Two skulls needed two skeletons so I spread Modeling Paste from Golden through the Skeleton Stencil -Small (5.75″x6″) onto a thick black matte paper. Small pair of scissors cut these perfectly detailed skeletons out and they were a collage and to the sugar skulls.

I used two teabags with vintage stamps, (a trick or treat bag on the left and a noose for the hangman on the right 😉

I reinforced the layering and contrast at the top of the pages with a few stamps from Seth Apter and PaperArtsy (EM54 and a small circle grid stamp) and embossed using clear embossing ink from WOW! And Baked Texture Powders from Seth Apter in Eclipse and Sedona.

Mixed Media Journaling, Quatrefoil Motif

Here is another inspiring post from artist Tracy Hickman aka @anonymous.palette on Instagram.

These journal pages were inspired by the Quatrefoil Repeat Pattern Stencil (11″x11″) from Stencil1, one of my favorite motifs. I used a few different soft pastels and mixed them with clear and white gesso on a taupe textured handmade Indian paper. When dried, I used the stencil to trace and cut out the design to make paper “tiles”.

The color palette from these tiles led me to select one of my favorite PaperArtsy colors, mushroom mixed with a smidge of moonlight toward the bottom, I painted both pages and collaged some vintage tickets and ration stamps and then used several contrasting washi tapes and ran them randomly and horizontally across the pages.

I then placed Stencil1’s Dragon Scales Stencil – Small (5.75″x6″) over the washi in random places and sponged PaperArtsy Truffle and Moonlight to marry the background and add a tonal subtle pattern. A Seth Apter stamp #EM55 was used with Distress Ink in scattered straw and vintage photos.

I next used the Damask Full Repeat Stencil – Small (5.75″ x 6″) over 3 of the collage shapes and mixed lavender pastels into modeling paste to color and spread through the stencil with a palette knife. The collaged shapes that were now patterned were glued down with a glue stick and shaded with pencil and sepia high flow acrylic paint from Golden.

I found a vintage fortune, some hand made paper, and an old keyhole and glued onto the elements along with an address and sentiment on an old library card. This spread needed a bit of contrast still so I mixed some agean and turquoise pastels, again mixed into modeling paste and spread through a fourth Stencil-Bubbles Up Stencil – Small (5.75″ x 6″) to lead your eye across the pages. I smudged Distress Ink in shaded lilac and black around the edges of all the pages and used Baked Texture Embossing Powders in rustic indigo and Desert subtly in some spots around the pages.

Beautiful Stenciled Journal Entry

We are proud to present another inspiring post from artist Tracy Hickman aka @anonymous.palette on Instagram.

“The numbers kept rising and so did the drama” I collaged vintage ledger paper columns onto altered book pages with a glue stick.  The pattern of the papers lent themselves beautifully to the Stencil1 Thatched Texture stencil which I stamped through using archival black ink so it didn’t smudge.  I wanted to see hints of this but wanted it to be more in the background for the layers that followed so I used pastel and a combination of clear and white gesso to color but still provide some transparency.  

Black Archival ink through Stencil1 small Moroccan stencil was the next layer.  Molding paste through Stencil1 Bubbles Up stencil followed and I painted around the bubbles with PaperArtsy Infusions in color, Rusty Car to highlight.  Some stamps from SethApter were used around the edges and on collage elements (#3180-LG Mark Makers and Tracks) in both coffee Archival Ink and Baked Texture Embossing Powders (White Cloud, Taos Sunset, Dusk, Blizzard, and Eclipse).  A final Stencil1 stencil finished off the left side by embossing White Cloud Baked Texture through The Small Chevron Stencil leading your eye to a vintage typewritten quote. Collage embossed numbers abided a vertical element and were attached with small white brads.
