Flower Power

FLOWER POWER!

My Art Journal spread is sunny and in a Spring mood.

I wanted the flowers to be a focal point and my background very neutral.

Unfortunatelly no step-by-step pics this time but some close-ups!

First I covered the whole surface with white gesso then applied some

 random layers od modeling paste and a touches of crackle paste.

I heat dried it all ( I know I should let it air dry but I am impatient!)

Next I put more modeling paste through the stencil and dried.

The best part was to apply colors very detailed and exactly in places 

I wanted the color to be put. This time I worked with a thin brush 

applying layers of colors and spreading it with a bit of water. 

It took ages but I am really happy with the effect. It was worth the time.

After I finished with the background, I sie dut lots of flowers, colored them in yellow, golden and distressed the edges with ground espresso.

I put black dots of dylusions paint in the center of each flower.
