Cristin's Magic Forest

Hello again!

This week I've been super busy, I launched my first ever solo online class called "The Magic Forest". After all the excitement, I decided to continue working in my Magic Forest journal for this project. 

Today, I'm going to be using: 

• Adirondack Color Wash Spray in Butterscotch (an old fave!)
• Dylusions Spray in "Ground Coffee" (did someone say coffee?)
• Collage - A photograph from one of my favorite hiking spots, and a dried leaf embedded in paper that I created from my class
• E6000 glue
• Black Posca Pens - Broad and fine tip
• Golden Carbon Black Fluid Acrylic
• Ice Stickles Glitter Glue - Orange Peel
• Gold Leaf
• Artistcellar Arabian Nights Series Stencil
• Artistcellar Diamond Series Stencil

To start, I used a Artistcellar Arabian Nights stencil with Adirondack color wash spray. Then, I spritzed the Dylusions spray a few times and let it drip.

Now, we can start layering collage. For this, I used e6000 glue. It's extremely sticky, but it's tough. Since this collage is thicker than normal, matte medium won't be the best choice for it. 

After gluing the collage, I used black pens and acrylic paint to doodle and add splatters.

Then, I applied the Ice Stickles Glitter Glue. The orange peel is AMAZING because it's both orange but with green glitter. It fits in well with the green in my photograph! Then, to finish it all off, I used the Artistcellar Diamond Series stencil with Gold leaf adhesive. When the adhesive had turned clear, I put a sheet of gold leaf on top and used a dry brush to move the excess. 

Ta-da! I LOVE THIS PAGE! It fits right in with my Magic Forest journal.

Speaking of, if you would like to join - the classroom is open now! You can sign up here, (and don't forget to check the description for a early bird special!) http://bit.ly/PanArtMagicForest
