My pages had already been gesso'd. I started with Dylusions stencil " Leaf Flourish - Large" applying Gesso for texture with a make-up Triangle. After that dried I put my second layer on using Distress Stains: Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon which I applied with a paper towel. After that I wiped the center of the leaves removing most of the color, then I applied Bundled sage and Forest Moss over the entire page again using a paper towel. After that dried I used the blues again around the edges.
I then cut out trees, Owls and grass using my Cricut Explore Air and Cricut Design space. Some of the Owls are layered most are print and cut. All the trees and grass are layered.
I used two different stamp sets: Inkadinkado "Meadow" under the grass and Penny Black "Enjoy Life" for the trees in the background and the wheat grass at the bottom of the page. I used India Ink and the large Black Archival Ink pad. I fussy cut several of the background trees to use as masks to get the depth of the forest.
I painted the flowers and some of the background stamped grass using Distress paint Dusty Concord, Mowed Lawn, Ripe Persimmon and Salty Ocean. For the different color flower I used Adirondack Raspberry Acrylic paint.
The black speckles are Dylusions Black Marble and I sprayed the entire page with Perfect Pearls Mists "Heirloom Gold"
I finished the edges with Vintage photo.
