Destiny

This will be my final entry using Jo's Texture theme at Art Journal Journey.

In case you can't read the sentiment, it is: She wrote her destiny on her heart.

For the heart, I used two stencils, one gifted and one I created.  Conversely, the heart became a mask in which I was able to outline the heart.

I used the same stencil to leave marks on the left page,

as well as on the sentiment.

This is a stencil on top of a stencil.

For this page, I began by laying down pale green house paint to cover the words on the page.  When dry, I inadvertently allowed the pages to close while slightly damp, so they formed ridges on the two opposing pages.

For the left side, originally, I was just trying to get the dye ink off the stencil.  However, when I saw how the patterns emerged, I decided to use both pages, which meant I could move the sentiment to the left side and leave the right side for the heart.  I added the heart button, left over from a previous project, using E6000.

Thanks so very much for visiting Bleubeard and me today, and for joining us this month at Art Journal Journey.  We also want to thank Jo for her great theme and wonderful journal pages she created this month.  She was also a great host and we are so very happy she took her responsibilities so thoughtfully.  We'll be back tomorrow with a new host at Art Journal Journey.
