The background started as a painted background. I went over it with watercolors and let that dry. When I used gesso with the stencil the watercolors mixed to create very soft shades.
Needing some inspiration where to take the stencil next I searched my rub ons. The birds screamed at me to be used.
Once I added the musical notes I began to think of Snow White and all the little birds that were her dear friends.
A quote from a song Snow White sang finished this journal page. Perhaps I was drawn to birds and bright colors to counteract this winter thing here…
Oh, I just love this-it’s absolutely beautiful!
Great job!!!! Love that movie!!!
Oh yes! Whistle while you work and Snow White. the birds did bring that to mind right away. Of course I love the first Disney movies. 😉 Lovely!!
She’s lovely, such an elegant shape! And I like the words too (though unfortuantely, I can’t whistle…) 🙂
Carolyn, I love this!!! I love that you show us your process. I already have that song stuck in my head. That is not a bad thing. It’s a good song. xoxo Terah

I love the combination of colours! for me green and fucshia would be hard but you made it easy, natural and nice to see!
I also had to quit my job if I had to create an art journal everyday! xD
Carolyn, this is so delightful. Whistle while you work is perfect. The colors are beautiful and I love the birds.
Very nice! And I love Snow White.
Thank you so much for sharing your process. I learn so much from you each week. I love the colors and the happy feeling that I get from looking at this journal page. Have a wonderful week and remember to “whistle while you work”. I will.
This is a wonderful piece, and thanks for sharing the process.
Love this journal page and the theme. Snow White was my favorite fairy tale and I always did love the birds flying around her. Great work!
