SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #116 - D is for Denim

Hello snarky friends and welcome to another fun challenge

starting at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS:

D is for Denim!

Look at Edna, spitting in the face of the fashion police, and getting

her double denim on! Such a rebel! LOL!

I haven't made an art journal page in months, so that's what I did for this challenge:

I found a quote to use while searching on Mr. Google.

I couldn't find the source of this quote, so if anyone

knows, leave me a comment so I can give credit. Thanks!

I tried using rubbing alcohol and a scrap of denim as a resist on the gal's dress,

to make it look as if her dress was denim.

On my first attempt, the scrap of denim was too saturated, and 

bled way too much. 

My second attempt worked much better!

Tip: if you try this technique, do this step first, and

be sure the rubbing alcohol is completely dry before coloring the

rest of it, otherwise what you color next will bleed.

I colored her with Spectrum Noir markers and added details

with Prismacolor pencils. I fussy cut her out and set aside to

work on my page.

I used pink, coral and orange acrylic paints for the base, then added

different stenciled images using the coral plus white and blue. I used

too much paint on some of the stencils, but decided to embrace the mess.

To hide the blobby blue mess I made with the blue paint, I simply

put the stencil back over it when it was dry and traced the image with a black

Artist PITT pen. I used alpha stamps to stamp the sentiment on copy paper.

I trimmed and glued them along with my peace gal onto the page with

matte medium.

After everything was dry, I added a shadow under her to ground her,

and doodled around the words and also added white dots to the blue leaves.

I still wasn't finished stenciling, so I used another one and traced some

flowers with a gold pen. I also added Stickles to her flower tiara and the 

peace sign she's holding.

Here's another pic of the finished page:

Yay, you made it to the end! LOL!
