Welcome to August with iCraft and Deb Stephens!
Do Not Surrender- Art Journal Page Instructions:
Start by using iCraft modelling paste with a palate knife through stencil 8511, but only applying so there are 3 roses in the center of the mixed media paper. Dry. Apply more modelling paste through stencil 8605 so there is an assortment of texture around the page. Dry. Apply iCraft white gesso over everything. Dry well. Cut pieces of the decoupage paper and stick around the page with gel medium. This process is about building layers in your work.

Use a wash of gesso again to push
the patterns into the background. Take a baby wipe and remove some gesso from
parts of the patterns so they don’t totally fade into the background. Apply iCraft paint (colours listed below) with a broad, flat brush and blend. Use a bamboo skewer to scratch some
texture into the paint while it is wet. Dry well. Use a water soluble black
pencil to apply in the crease of the rose petals. Use water to break down the
pigments of the pencil in the petals to create shadows. Draw in stems for the roses with the same
pencil and then use a black and white gel pens to roughly sketch some leaves
around the flowers. Stamp some background marks with black archival ink around
the page. Finish off with a wash of the moon white metallic paint over the
raised texture paste to get a beautiful shine. Adhere the sentiment to the page and outline with black pen. Sign and date your work.
