“Be You” Art Journal page and process video

Leave a comment

Hello, I am sharing an art journal page with a process video today. For this page I used the Sketchy Leaves 5 and Leaves 2 stencils and Loose Florals 2024, Mix It Up 5, Mixed Sentiments 1 and Butterflies and Moths stamp sets.

I started by stenciling modeling paste onto the page thru the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil. I then used Texture Gems clear paste with the Leaves 2 stencil. After the pastes were dry, I applied ocker and light green paint on top. After that I stamped with the Mix It Up 5 stamp over the stenciled areas very randomly. After that I added some Loose Florals 2024 stamped leaves and flowers to the background.

Then I took a heavy body paint in apricot and added highlights with it. Next I used my fingers and a baby wipe to apply some dark green paint for contrast. I also removed some of the paint from the stenciled areas to make them stand out more.

After applying the paint, I used golden pigments to add droplets to the darker areas. Finally, I created a cluster with stenciled and pasted fussy cut leaves and a Butterflies and Moths butterfly. For finishing touches I added some stamped words using the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp set.

Here is the process video with all the steps:

I hope you enjoyed watching the video and got inspired! Do stop by the Rubber Dance store and purchase a product or two. These days with high taxes, every purchase goes towards keeping a small business alive!

Happy crafting,

DAP-journal / December 31st, 2022

Hello! This is the very last page share from my 2022 DAP-journal:

I gessoed the page first, then I added spray inks on top and some Neocolors. On top of that I grabbed some washi tape and stickers from my stash and added the original almanac page to go with them. I then wrote “better times ahead” onto yellow paper scraps and adhered them to the page.


This is the FULL 365 days of journal. As you can see, they did fit into the journal. BUT it is very, very thick. I might need to change the binding to a bigger one and then figure out, what kind of covers I want to add to it.

Here is the “top view”. Very thick indeed ;-).

This is it, when helt together with a hand. If I change the ring binding to a huge one, it might work with covers too. Still need to do that. But it is such a cool journal! Lots to look at and some parts are even interactive, so it makes it more interesting. I had fun doing it. Some pages were hard to do, some came easier. And at some point I thought I´d never finish it. But here it finally is. I am very proud of being able to finish it.
I will share a full flip-thru in near future. Just have to make a video of it first. So stay tuned :). Thanks for sticking with me thru this project! I had a good time – hope you enjoyed watching it!?
And now to other stuff – Christmas card sharing time is just around the corner again ;-). So bare with me for the next days (and maybe weeks), when I share a motherload of Christmas cards here.

Take care!

xxx, Sanna
