Today's project is another entry to my art journal. The BPM stamp bundle includes four stamps. I used two of the stamps in the bundle on this project. The stamps I used are:
I am stamping with watercolor markers. This technique involves applying the pigment from the watercolor markers directly to the stamp. There is an option to spritz water to the inked stamp to soften the colors but I did not do this on this project.
I stamped the inked fern to the journal page. The great thing about using watercolor markers is that I did not have to clean the inks off in between stamping. After stamping the fern, I applied the next color creating some blending of inks.
I also did second generation stamping in which I used the residual ink to stamp the fern. This technique creates a softer impression of the fern.
I used a stamp positioner to stamp the sentiment. The stamp positioner helps with precise stamping of an image unless...
I stamp it upside down. If this was a card, I think the orientation of the sentiment won't matter.
To save this project, I cut a slit on the center of the page.
I tear off the area surrounded by the fern frame to create a window.
I used the stamp positioner to plan the placement of the sentiment on the next page making sure the sentiment is showing through the window.
My first attempt on stamping the sentiment was not a good impression so I re-stamped the sentiment using the stamp positioner to guide me where to stamp again.
Guess what? I must have shifted my hand with the re-stamping so I ended up with a double image impression.
To save this project some more, I cut a bigger window on this page so it will be hidden behind the first window page. I did not want to tear the page off the journal. I don't want the pages falling off as I progress through my art journal.
This time, I was able to successfully re-stamp the sentiment. Still not as crisp as I want to but I will keep it as is.
I placed a scrap paper behind the first window page so I can line the torn window with a gold marker.
I flicked gold mica paint on the window panel for some splatters.

I stamped the fern around the sentiment using second generation stamping of a gold dye ink for a soft look.
I stamped dots on this page using a stamp from the Blank Page Muse Petals & Flowers Rubber stamp sheet.
I glued the second window page to the front window page. In hindsight, I could have torn the second page to create a window, and tear a bigger window on the first page for a layered window look.
I adhered the window pages to the sentiment page.
I hope you like today's project. Being resilient to the mistakes I made on this project made this a true art journal for me. When creating, sky is the limit, as the sentiment says.
