happy February lovelies!! You'll see alot of red, pink and HEARTS on my blog this month. To get you in the Valentine spirit I'm sharing a mini how-to video + digital image. The artwork in the image above was created by painting with my Graffiti Glam stamps and handmade HEART stencils using Tulip fabric paints and sprays on muslin. I took a photo of the painted fabric using the Hipstamatic app then imported it into Photoshop CS6 and layered with type. I wrote the word "heart" with my Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet.
How has your art journaling practice been going? As for me, I've found that I am journaling more on my iPad. But I did spend the past few days in the studio painting and creating some fun projects that I'll be sharing this month.
I've been having fun creating these little #vine video snippets...it really challenges me to figure out creative ways to share a story in 6 secs. {find me on vine at Traci Bautista}
Here's a short art journaling #howto...XOXO stencil prints!
