StencilGirl Free Your Mind Art Journal Page

Hi all

I created this simple art journal page using the new stencil by StencilGirl.

I coated the page with gesso and when that has dried, i spritzed ink over the top

I used blue acrylic paint over the stencil with the faces and then turned the stencil over and used the other side to get a mirror image. I then put a bit of magenta on my finger and stamped away.
