“A grownup is a child with layers on.”
— Woody Harrelson
Hey there!
I hope this finds you happy and well. I had so much fun playing with layers this time around for the Jessica Sporn Creative Team, that my fingers are still stained with ink and sticky with glitter as I write this.
Like many of us, I love, love, love adding layer upon layer to my art journaling pages or canvas pieces. The barely visible bits and pieces here and there create mystery and not only draws me in, but hopefully those who come behind me as well.
One of my favorite ways to add sheer layers is with decorative tissue and deli papers. I discovered deli paper through an artist friend of mine who not only inspired me to try it, but also sent me some of her stash so I could! Deli paper is just that - paper used to wrap deli sandwiches. It has a lovely sheen, is matte on one side, and takes wet media like a star. Likewise, tissue paper (I know I’m not the only one who hoards it at birthday parties ;) comes in so many colors, and is so see through, that it too can be so fun to play with.
Follow along as I create this layered piece using Jessica's Women Will Heal the World Stencil and Build-A-Neighborhood Stamp. Put your own personal spin on my project and share it with us on Pinterest. Be sure to tag it with #JSD #CreativeTeam and #KristinVanValkenburgh so we see your creation!
A childhood obsession with Hollywood starlets led to an early life in the theater, where Kristin Van Valkenburgh spent many happy days on set and behind the scenes as both an actress and makeup artist for the stage. Kristin has a passion for all things mixed media and loves to create whimsical pieces with lots of layers, bright, poppy colors, big eyes and positive affirmations. Her work has been featured in numerous Stampington publications including Somerset Studio, Somerset Studio Gallery, Somerset Life, Somerset Apprentice, Artists’ Cafe and Art Journaling.
You can find Kristin on her blog, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
