'Make Cool Things'
Art Journal Page
with Lisa Amiet


Hello all! 
It's Lisa here today, and I have a new creation to share with you,
as part of this month's challenge. 

Mandalas & Zentangles!



This is my art journal page based on the challenge. 




I have used a page in my 'Dylusions Creative Journal - Large'.
I have given it a coat of 'Liquitex White Gesso', to seal my page. 

To add some colour I used the gorgeous 
'Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Acrylic Paints' 
in 'Turquoise' to coat my page. 




I have then used my 'TCW 6x6 Stencil - Skylight' and
'Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Acrylic Paint' in 'Prawn'.




to add my mandala pattern to my page. Once in the top right corner, 
and another in the bottom left corner.




I next applied a mix of 'Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Acrylic Paints' in
'Prawn' and 'Pumpkin Soup', that I have blended with my
'Ranger Inkblending Tool'.




I have adhered torn strips of pieces from the
  'Art by Marlene Collage Papers #3',
 to my page.







I have sponged and blended some 'Liquitex White Gesso',
over my page, to lighten the bright colours a bit.  




I decided to add some doodles to my mandalas and paper strips.
I have also used some 'Dina Wakely Media Collage Word Pack',
that I have cut up and used on my page.




I have then gone back through with my 'Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Acrylic Paints',
 to add some more colour around my page.




Finally, I have added some more doodling to finish my page.




So there are lots of layers to this page, but I felt it needed the depth of layers.




Adding doodles to the already existing patterns can also help 
add depth to your layers. 




I am in love with this Mandala stencil. 
If you look there is sure to be more than one that you fall in love with.



I hope that you like what I have created.
I hope you get a chance to play along with us. 

Until next time!

Lisa
