Happy Friday and Happy 4th! I have a fun new video for you today, combining one of my favorite art journaling tools - this gorgeous printed tissue paper, made in Italy - with stamps like this script stamp for a layered focal image - it's so easy and beautiful.
You'll see how in the video, but what you'll need is:
- Circle Dies
- Rice Paper (there are a million beautiful patterns and images and a free journal with $35 purchase here)
- Script Stamp
- Matte Gel (This heavier body one keeps your paper from warping)
- Soft Spatula
- Music or book paper, torn into scraps. (I get these at Half Price Books)
- Dark Grey Ink
- Light Grey Ink
- India Ink/Waterproof Ink
- Brick Wall or other Stencil. (This is on sale this weekend.)
- Paper Glitz for wings. (This is on sale this weekend.)
- Makeup Sponge
- Shaper tool.
The process I use lets the script stamp show through the tissue paper, which I love - think of all the backgrounds you could put behind these images, or stencil patterns, etc. Amazing. And the designs on the tissue paper are so highly pigmented and detailed - and the printed images will not bleed when you add all your mediums!
So here is the video!
Here are all the supplies I used today. Come back for my 4th menu!!

What are you doing for the 4th? We will be dodging rain to smoke brisket and make my famous beans!
After I perfected bean making, I mourned for all the cans of ranch style beans I've eaten in my life! Such a big difference.
Anasazi beans are the best bean, hands down, and this recipe is my favorite! I've added notes since I first published this, and documented a half portion, which is what I always cook now.
I'll also be having watermelon - there are these small local ones that I've eaten to the exclusion of almost everything else for weeks, and for the BLUE portion of the menu, these amazing blueberry/coconut/banana muffins, which are a lot more like cupcakes - they are awesome.
What about you?
Whatever you're doing, I hope you have a safe and happy 4th!
Loveyameanitbye.
