"Specimen" - A Grungy Art Journal Page

In this art journal page project I'm creating a grungy background using paper ephemera, stencils, acrylic paints and a few stamped images.

You do have an insect theme going on. I am just finishing off a journal for my daughter with an insect theme at her request. Thanks for sharing. 😀🤎

Sounds great!

[@joaniesjournals5329]

This is spectacular… The insect stickers are reproductions of Tim Holtz insect images… They are lovely though…Great job as usual…❤

[@melindap.ullrich4564]

Hi loved the process of making your version of specimen card. The bugs are fantastic. One suggestion is that when trying to get the backing off stickers try using a pin, needle. Awesome idea.

[@MikeDeakinArt]

Thanks for the tip!

[@christoomey5877]

Love how your page turned out. Is this for the new Mission Inspiration for 24? Having great fun building my WM lapbooks, little by little. Hope my daughter sent my December Mission Inspiration. Thanks as slways for your fab videos, fab products and fab customer service.💜🧚‍♀️😘Chris @ Dark Fairy

[@MikeDeakinArt]

The new Missions will start this weekend!

Thought the stamps and stencils for the IB MM boxes were totally exclusive to the box and will not be available on the IB website or elsewhere. Only the consumables from the boxes will be available. At least, that’s how they’ve been marketed.

[@MikeDeakinArt]

I may be mistaken.

[@amyvetter1830]

Always needs splatters. Like the grungyness.

👋 Hi Mr. Mike! Hello everyone! I just discovered this channel today and I just subscribed, 😂 I’m going to be binge watching every chance I get! I love the idea of being able to work on a art page out of a art journal and then add it in, Brilliant ideal! 😂 I would say our accents are about as different as they come, but I could listen to you talk all day, I’m here to learn! 😊❤🎉 Thanks for sharing. Does anyone know the name brand, the kind of paint 🎨 he is using? Thanks. 😂 “Mr. Bentley flapping his ears “ ❤

[@MikeDeakinArt]

Welcome aboard. I hope you join in and share in our journey!❤️ps the paint used was from IndigoBlu.com
