Autumn 2024 Journal Page

Hello friends! We had the first night of below freezing here tonight. Today I have an autumn art journal page to share with mixed media techniques.

I worked in my Small Creative Journal and created a mixed media background partly with leftover paste and paint. It was paired with bright autumn colors and some bold letters. The leaves were die cut and I added three stamped sentiment strips. Let's start.

I don't have a photo of the first steps. Coat the page with gesso and when dry, apply texture paste through Tim Holtz Deco Leaf stencil. When the paste is dry, paint it with Distress Paint and mist with water to blend.

Stamp the background with Simon Says Stamp Old Letter background.

Stamp the title with Tim Holtz cool Sign Painter letters. I used Simon Says Stamp Sherbet and Amethyst Pawsitively Saturated inks. Die cut with coordinating Sign Painter Letters and Sign Paint Numbers dies by Simon Says Stamp. 

Ink lightly around the edges with grey ink.

Die cut Tim Holtz Sizzix Artsy Leaves from scrap pieces of watercolor or inky paper. Assemble the leaves with glue.

I really like the textures in the background of this page.

Glue the leaves to the page. The sentiments were stamped with Tim Holtz Tiny Text on inky paper.

These Sign Painter letters and numbers are so cool and it is great to have coordinating dies with them, for when you can't stamp directly to the background or if you want a bright color on a dark background.

I also added to Design Tape Trims to the page, and some more leaves. The flower was made with Simon Says Stamp Crimped Florals.

Scorched Timber turns into a really cool shade of warm brown when mixed with blue.

Thank you so much for stopping by here today! Have a good weekend!

Happy crafting!
