I’m finally linking up with Seth Apter for Buried Treasure again. I have somehow missed it since the very first time back in 2009. I had so much fun going back to choose what I wanted to share. Ironically, the first one I chose was the same one I used in 2009. I guess I’m pretty proud of that tutorial. :)

Here is my original post from 2013:

After our snow yesterday…yes you read that correctly…snow on April 5th, I guess I wanted to remind myself that a new season is actually upon us.

It is Spring according to the calendar and before we know it, the weather will be hot and humid.

When I started this journal page I had no idea where it was going.

I spread my super thin, lame gesso over the pages in my Watkins cookbook journal then kept adding layers of paint and stamping.

Next I wanted to try out some molding paste applied through a stencil…a technique I’ve seen several times on YouTube videos. I love the texture it adds. I’ll definitely be trying that one again!

I used water and walnut ink to age this library card which is placed on top of a bit of a forest scene magazine page. Love it when things like that work out.

Still looking for more texture I glued down a bit of flower trim.

I am incredibly happy with the way this one turned out.

And look..the sun is even shiny bright today promising that the Season is actually changing.

I must admit this is still one of my favorite art journal pages. Everything fell into place for me that day.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will again. Also a great big thank you to Seth for providing this chance to check out other mixed-media artists we may not have come across yet. Also thanks to my dear friend Elizabeth who gave me the heads up this year…I guess I’ve been on summer break too long. HA!
