Create Your Own Happiness

Hi Everyone,

Stencils are such useful tools to create art journal pages.  In the project I am sharing today, I used an old favourite (Butterflies 3) and one of the new Quotes (Typo Quotes 2) Stencils.  



The Butterflies 3 stencil (STDS016) is a layering stencil with the the outline of the Butterfly at the top and the details at the bottom.  Use a pencil and lightly draw the outlines of the butterfly.  

Use any watercolour paint and start applying paint from the butterfly image to the outsides of the pages, making sure that the watercolour paint is darker around the butterfly and getting lighter towards the edges of the page.  Add more paint if you want it darker or remove paint with a clean brush if you want it lighter.  This is the beauty of watercolours - you can always add or remove paint!



Add the details to the Buttefly with Sakura Koi Coloring Brush Pens.  This water-based inks can be layered or blended with water.


Outline the wings of the Butterfly with a black Posca Paint pen and add some details with White.


Finish off the Butterfly with a white Posca Paint Pen and add a Border, again making use of the black and white Posca Paint Pens.  

Use a pencil and lightly draw the outlines of the quote and "colour in" with a black Posca Paint pen.  Add highlights on each letter with a white Posca paint pen.
