Get the Original Mixed Media Art Journal Page

I'm here to share another art journal page :) This one started out with frame stickers lol.

I started this page by layering a bunch of frame stickers that someone had given me. They were originally for scrapbooking, but since I don't scrapbook, I decided to use them in my art journal :) And guess what...I love how this turned out!

I also added glittery letter and number stickers and gessoed over the entire page, probably about three coats. I wanted to make sure I had a white surface to work with.

I added many layers of different brown acrylic paints, thinned with acrylic glazing medium. I applied it thickly to get in all the cracks and crevices and then wiped it back after a couple minutes. Then I chose the four middle frames to be my focal points and added shading around each of them to make some look like they are in front and some in behind.

After it was all dry, I added some Ranger Crackle Accents and Nuvo Enamel Drops in Dark Walnut.
