A Controversial Art Journaling Decision

In today's play we'll be using a gel plate to do speedy stenciling (and it creates an irregular, organic element) as this art journal comes together. What is the controversial decision I made? It has to do with my stance on covering up layers. Check out the full blog post at acolorfuljourn...

It's not magic or random luck getting prints you love and any anyone, including you, can make prints like these when you understand how stencils interact with paint and color on a gel plate.

Want to play? Want to know specific ways to let go and have fun? Join the fun in my free mixed media workshop Permission to Play acolorfuljourn...
You can find me designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, teaching in person and online workshops and sharing the message of O.O.P.S. here on KZbin and on the blog, aColorfulJourney.com
What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
Those “failures” and “mistakes” that we so harshly criticized ourselves about actually became true gifts as soon as you start saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly!
I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.
