Look Around ll Chrissi Mannix

Hello Lovelies

Today I have an Art Journal page I made using using some new Flutterby Designs stencils and the new Parent of the Year Collection.

I started with some of the Flutter Colour Paint and my brayer. I just started applying paint to my page. I did this a few times, then i added in some black to give the page some contrast. To bring that yellow back to the foreground, I applied more yellow over the top of the black. In the end I do like how it turned out- I'm not usually a black and yellow person, reminds me of bumble bees lol but I do love bright colours paired with black. I also used the new Love art foamies, to add a bit more to my background.

To add some texture to my page and add more contrast, I used white gesso through the new No Fucks Given Stencil. I love the added touch it gives the page. Then I found a quote I liked in the Parent of the Year Every Day Etc Cards. I fussy cut it into strips and used it as my focal point for my page.

On the other side of my spread, I decided not to use the same stencil, instead using the love art foamies. I like the contrast the two elements have, and how they relate to the quotes on their specific pages. To make them stand out more, I drew around some hearts with a white paint pen, and coloured them in, just to bring some of that white to the page.

I hope you like my art journal page, and don't forget to check back to see what else the girls do with the awesome new Parent of the Year Collection.
