Don't Stop Until You Get Enough

The Documented Life Project for this week had a challenge of "When Not To Stop" and a prompt of "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough!"  Mou, for Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft, also posted a challenge to do an art journal page with your favorite beverage so I added that to the mix. Lots and lots of layers going on here. I started with a matte medium to add ephemera to the watercolor paper. Then I added orange and yellow acrylics with ca credit card, stenciled with blue Distress paints, added gesso with a pallet knife, scraped yellow acrylic and removed with a stencil and a baby wipe. Then, I added orange dots through a stencil with acrylics, dabbed some Antique Linen Distress paint. I did the cup on a separate sheet of water color using Faber-Castel Pitt artist pens and cut and applied with Collage Pauge.I added some stamping using my own hand carved spiral and heart and finished with bold words and scribbled thoughts.

    1. Thanks for popping over, Zsuzsa. Sometimes I think I bit off a bit more than I can chew on top of my other two blogs and commitments. But, I love being busy :)
