This is the process I followed with this art journal page:
Painted Gesso on an old book page
Sketched in my coneflowers and grass
Painted with acrylics and Galatos
Outlined with pen and ink
Added embellishments
Tammy at My Flower Journal back in 2013 posted a tutorial on her splatter art and how to turn it into flowers. She actually did this with lavender coneflowers on top of Gesso, and I tried it. This is my version of what she did, and I want to give her credit for her wonderful tutorial. Many Thanks, Tammy.

I wish I could photograph a journal page so that things like the ric-rac and the ribbons at the top do not look like they are going crooked and the green button does not appear to be running off the page. UGH! It seems like a hopeless case for me. Also, how in the world do you erase your lightly sketched outlines. I have been using the pen and ink to cover them up. Any suggestions? This is only the second time I have worked with Gesso. I am finding it a fascinating medium.
I am sharing this with the ABC Mixed Media Challenge ~ Crazy for Color
