Floral Art Journal Page

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this art journal page using products from Bee Crafty and Shady Designs by Louise Sims. 

To begin I used Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour paints to create a background.

Next I stamped the filmstrip, from Bee Crafty's texture, filmstrip and circles stamp set, twice joining the together to make a longer strip. I then cut it out.

I then used versafine clair nocturne ink to stamp three of the  flower, leaf, butterfly and leafy branch from Shady Designs oh so circular, celtuc squares and it's a wreath stamp sets. I coloured the fliwers and leaves with watercolour crayons. I then cut everything out.

I glued the filmstrip to the page and trimmed any excess.

Next I added one of the stars, from Bee Crafty's star textures stamp set, using gold delicate ink and some black circles in the form of a sequin background stamp I got free from a magazine using first, second and third generation stamping. 

Then I stamped the border, leafy stem and bird, from Shady Designs blooming blocks stamp set, using black ink.

I then glued the flowers, leaves and butterflies to the page.

Finally I added a sentiment from Bee Crafty's wirdy stickers 1B.
