Here’s a peek at the art journal page I put together using Twinkles &
Wings.
This lovely stamp set inspired me to get in my crafty space and play with a set of gouache that I’ve had for a
couple of years now and just haven't used. Gouache has been referred to as an opaque watercolor and can really give your projects vivid color. After seeing this stamp, I knew I wanted to get in there and give gouache a try along with some modeling paste and a toothbrush splatter technique to make stars.
In the first video, I'm a beginner to gouache but I give you some tips I’ve
picked up on how to make a FUN night sky background for your stamping projects
for art journals, canvas, etc.

using toothbrush splatter.
