Under the sea - Mixed media Art journal page

 Hi,

Todays art journal page is inspired by the ocean and all the beauty that lives there.

I got to try out my new Lindys magical and wow they truly are magical. A little goes a long way and the colors are just stunning! I got the Words of wisdom set and for my background I sprinkeld a bit of "commit to it teal" and "just be kind cobolt" and sprayed water on it to blend the colors. 

Then I used a bit of Dylusions White shimmer paint on Tim Holtz Bubbles stencil and I love the effect I achieved.  I used a script stamp and a small circular stamp with Distress ink "faded jeans" and stamped randomly around the page. I also went around the edges with "faded jeans" and "black soot" distress ink to darken and frame the page. 

Next I glued down some circles that I cut out from a Memory box die, and also the jellyfish die from an old Magnolia magazine.

I used the words discover, timless and magic from Big Chat from Tim Holtz Ideaology and I think they are perfect for life under the sea.

I added my finishing touches with a white Sakura gel pen and my new favorit black pen Pilot G-tec-c4, and splattered drops of black soot over the page and addede some Ranger stickles to the jellyfish to give them some sparkle.

I like to enter this to:
