Art Journal Week 24

This is the page in my art journal for week 24.

This page holds my ATC (Artist Trading Card) for The Craft Barn Alpha challenge.

You can read more about it here.

I have followed the prompt on Colour Me Positive (CMP),

which was about Courage.

I used printed text & a butterfly from BGU.

To create the background, I first coated the page in white gesso,
then applied a layer of acrylic paint (Buttermilk).

Once dried, I added detail using a Tim Holtz stencil (Bubble)
with his Distress Stain (picket fence)
& used some Tissue Tape as a page divider.
