Never Judge

As soon as I obtained my copy of

Creative Stamping issue 82, I knew

straight away, what I wanted to create

in my art journal!

I wanted a busy, but also subdued background

to emulate chaos behind the calm.

I had watched a YouTube video by

Shawn Petite, on her process of

sandwiches in stenciled backgrounds &

really wanted to give it a try.

You can watch the video here. 

To create the background I used,

Dylusions Paint:- Vibrant Turquoise, 

London Blue, Cut Grass, Pure Sunshine,

Cherry Pie, Peony Blush & Black Marble.

Stencils;

Tando creative - Distressed Sequins,

TCW - Well Rounded, Harlequin, Mini Patterns

& Art Is

Natalie Kalbach - Dots.

Stamps;

Numbers - Indigoblu

Shoes, Signpost, Footprints - CS82

(These were designed by Hunkydory crafts

for creative Stamping) 

The words added to the signpost are done

in gel pen to make them stand out.

Quote created on my dymo label maker.

 I particularly like how the parts of the Art Is stencil

that show through are the words "surface"

"experiences" & "what might"

very apt for my journaling.

It is about never knowing what another person is

going through on a daily basis. Never knowing

the burden they carry, the demons they are fighting.
