Brew Your Own Magic

 I was having so much fun playing in my little mini art journal that I decided to buy a bigger one so I'd have more space! I went with the large size Dina Wakley art journal, which has nice heavy pages for watercolors and mixed media. I made these pages for the weekly art journal sketch at A Cherry on Top and it totally fits these 2 challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Not a Card

Festive Friday #206 - I used bright colors, sparkle gems, and a "magic" sentiment

I began by applying a thin coat of clear gesso to the pages and let it dry. I then ink blended some Distress Oxide Inks in Peeled Paint and Seedless Preserves on the pages. I then applied my double honeycomb stencil from A Colorful Life Designs to both pages with a darker green ink. I used some torn book pages in the corner and some kraft paper to create the layout. I stamped the sentiments (Ink Road Stamps) with Versafine Black and embossed them with clear embossing powder. The witch is a printable clipart from Art Outrageous (Etsy) - I used Mod Podge to attach everything to the pages. I flicked some Mica Spray Stain all over and painted the liquid in the cauldron with some as well, the added a touch of Stickles. I used some tiny sparkle gems from Stampin Up to finish it off. Peace.
