August 4 - Art Journal Challenge #4

I went crazy adding different colors of acrylic paint to the background.  I swiped them on with an old gift card.

I tried rolling over a bare tree stencil but it turned out to be a negative impression instead of a positive impression.  The paint didn't go through the stencil holes, so I flipped it over and pressed it down while the paint was still wet.  It turned out to be a happy accident.

I cut out some old ads from a 1963 magazine I got at a used book store.  I thought they were kind of funny so I adhered them here as the focus and then added the letters.
