Mixing Old and New

Hi everyone today I'm sharing an art journal page created using the brand new stamps and stencil from Louise Simms and Art Inspirations and older Shady Designs by Louise Sims stamps and stencils. I know when Lou designed the new stamps she hoped they would work with her older ones and I think I've proved they do.

To begin with, I added three areas of peeled paint distress oxide and then added three areas of salty ocean distress that overlaped the peeled paint.

Next, I blended peeled paint through the Squared Up stencil then I spritzed the stencil and dubbed it on to the page. I also blended salty ocean through the Moroccan Trellis stencil. 

Then, I blended black soot distress oxide through the Film Strip stencil.

I, then, blended peeled paint through the hanging garden stencil.

After that,  I  stamped the Be A Square stamp using Salty Ocean distress oxide. 

I stamped the hanging garden stamp using peeled paint distress oxide. 

Next, I stamped all the images using Versafine Clair twilight ink. I coloured them with Kuretake Zig Clean Colour pens, then cut them out. 

Then, I added them to the page using foam tape on some and tucking others under them.

Finally, I added a sentiment from the Be Not Afraid paper pad.
