Journaling ~ The Eyes See • Marjie Kemper Designs

I love layering stamps and stencils, and had fun making this page for my journal. After I'd made the page with inks and paints, I added some heavy gloss gel through Tim Holtz's Eye Chart stencil. It goes on white… and dries clear. Love that “eyes see” stamp ~ it's a PaperArtsy Mini.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Let’s keep in touch: Newsletter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, or Twitter.

I know I keep on repeating myself. But this piece is just fantastic. Love your color choices, the depth you achieved due to your layering. And yes that eyes see stamp is something very useable. Would love that too. Thank you for sharing your art and creativity. Just LOVE what you share. You do always inspire me !!!!

Gorgeous art Marjie, you create so much depth and interest in your pieces and this one is particularly vibrant. I love that eye stamp too. You will be surprised at some of my posts coming up over the next few weeks as I am starting to get into the journalling and you are the source of my greatest inspiration xx

Fantastic page, such a great effect from the gloss gel.
Astrid on April 23, 2014 at 3:08 pm

Brilliant Marjie, love this page!! That PA mini is amazing and you have used it to perfection here! Have to say, really liked the gloss gel stenciling when still white, but to have it clear is very cool too, – what do our eyes see???…. Very clever!
Sally Miller on April 23, 2014 at 12:43 pm

Lovely to see this stamp, it’s been a while since I’ve seen it on any blogs :-) and some lovely layers going on there too!

Amazing spread Marjie, all the layers of stamps and stencils and colors, just beautiful for the eyes!
Claudine Criner on April 23, 2014 at 11:04 am

Oh wow, loving that clear effect eye chart, it’s subtle but you can see it. Really nice page Marjie!!
Terry on April 23, 2014 at 10:34 am

Oh this is gorgeous, Marjie! You gave me an idea for using the Gloss Gel, which I am sure would work just like clear EP. Love the colors and layers, GF!
