Life Is Good {Art Journal} ~ Stencil Challenge @ STAMPlorations

Hello October and Good Day everyone!! I'm so happy to be back designing for STAMPlorations with a new season of challenges. Previously known as Mixed Media Challenge now is Stencil Challenge. You can create anything goes project/s with a stencil from ARTplorations or any brand you have.

This is my art journal to kick start October and inspire you to create and join us this month.

Some close ups:

 I swiped gesso over Crisscrossed stencil on the top and bottom to frame up the main quote created with Life Is Good mask by outlining the quote with black pencil in the first place. Then I used black gel pen to blacken it even more in a relax manner.

 To create all the subtitles as I call it, I used Bold Sentiment stamps: Create, Discover and Explore to  stamp them all. All I did was playing with the sentiments in each set of stamps to create the subtitles I wanted.

 This art journal speaks about my passion for art and the style I love making. I usually use watercolors for background and like to splatter black or white paint for the finishing touch. This piece of artwork consists a lot of layers and did take some ten minutes debate between my heart and brain to pick the colors {lol}.

I sincerely hope my art journal will inspire you to create anything your heart desire. Send in your projects to Mr. Linky before November. Don't forget to include this graphic below in your blog post. Without it you're not qualified for the prizes.
