I used some bright colours that make me happy and feel like summer:
I covered the first page with a coat of white Gesso, let that dry and then had fun with some spritzes of colour. I sprayed on some colour ,added a few sprays of water and let it drip! I just played with that technique until i was happy with the result. I let the paints dry and then used a stencil with some black craft paint for the silhouette. I stamped the quote onto a scrap of vellum and adhered it to the page with some sealer.
The second page was actually done first and I left the canvas unprimed. I dabbed some fluid acrylics through a stencil for the background. Then I played with a damp brush through the remaining paint on the stencil. When the paint was dry I used a rubber stamp with some black ink and stamped the cat. I went over the cat image with a black pen to cover any spots that were too light. The eyes were coloured with a metallic green marker. The quote is a clear sticker that I had in my stash for the longest time. I used some extra sealer to make sure it would stay stuck to the page.
I hope that you are inspired to play along in a journal too.
