Art Journaling with Watercolor, Stamping and Mixed Media ~ Bicycle Girl

Hi there. Today, I am sharing art journaling with watercolor, stamping and mixed media techniques. The focal point is the girl on a bicycle for a light and uplifting journal page. I used a mix of stamps and inks to make watercolor and to stamp accents. I also enjoy bible journaling and canvas art. But today, I wanted to try out my new mini watercolor art journal spiral book. I used the lovely rubber stamps by Unity Stamp Company for the girl, the sentiments and the background mixed media accents. The supplies and a video of the process are below.

Helpful Tips:

1. Using watercolor cardstock, stamp the girl using waterproof ink.

2. Stamp the sentiments.

3. Trim or die-cut the girl and sentiments. I used banners or flag dies in different sizes.

4. Onto a watercolor art journal page, add a watercolor wash in two shades, pink and teal.

5. Splatter then dry completely.

6. Using mixed media or text style stamps, partially stamp by hand around the edges of the watercolored journal page in kraft & black ink colors.

7. Add watercolor to the girl panel in complementing colors. Heat set or leave to dry completely.

8. Layer and adhere the girl and sentiments over the watercolor background, to finish.
