Hello! It's Crew Member Wednesday again and today it's Marsha's turn with a colourful art journal spread. This month's theme was alphabet soup and I love how Marsha used scraps of text paper from a magazine as a base for her pages!

Hi there! It’s Marsha Valk here today, sharing a colourful art journal page!
The theme this month is Alphabet Soup, so I decided to start by tearing loads of letters and words out of magazines and pasting them into my art journal using matte medium.
Once the collage was dry, I added one coat of white gesso on top and covered the page with acrylic paint in yellow and pink shades.
Next, I stencilled another layer with white, light blue and green acrylic paint and I also stamped a couple of circles from the ‘Scribbled Leafs & Textured Circles’ set using three shades of waterproof stamping ink.
Some of the original collage was still shining through, and I traced random words and letters with pencil and paint marker.
I also added words and phrases from a couple of Birgit’s stamp sets with black waterproof ink.
The Mixed Media Flowers were first stamped on pattern paper (for dressmaking) and then adhered to the page with matte medium.
I painted around the flowers with white, yellow and pink acrylic paint, to make them blend into the page.
The next step was to add doodling, more stamping, more stencilling, more marks and at last some lyrics to finish it off.
