Two Paper Divas~ Be the Reason Art Journal Page

Happy Saturday everyone, I'm back to share with you a fun and vibrant journal page I made for Two Paper Divas  using the Be the Reason stamp set. 

I've used this sentiment a lot in cards and tags, but I loved it for this fun journal page. It's one of my favorites and so versatile. :o)

I started with a page in my Strathmore 5.5x8' Journal  and used Cherry Pie and Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions paints for the background. Blending is easy if you dry with your heat gun in between colors and just layer them until your happy with it. ;o) I then added some contrast and texture by adding black acrylic paint thru the TCW Mini Cubist Stencil and a white pigment ink thru the Memory Box Starry Nights stencil. 

I splattered some Yellow and Black acrylic paint diluted with water and a fan brush and added Washi Tape and Heidi Swapp chipboard stars. 

For the sentiment, I stamped it in Jet Black Archival Ink and then went over it with a  Black micron pen. 

There we have it, a fun, vibrant journal page with one of my favorite inspirational sentiments. :o)

 Wait...don't forget to check out the Two Paper Divas Store as everything is now 40% off...that's right 40%! So go on and get your favorites now because once they are gone they are gone.

See you next week with another fun make using stamps from Two Paper Divas!
