Artsy File Folders



I found I blog that I just love. It Roben-Marie Smiths. She does lots of awesome art. I especially like all the file folders she has been creating. I checked out some of her free videos and wanted to try my hand at making some too. The first one I did I used lots of paper scraps I had.

 Next I tried one with watercolor paper. I cut a sheet in half and added half to the front and the other half of the paper to the back. I added a layer of gesso to the paper before adding any paint. I did some spray ink and let it run down the page, some acrylic paint and stenciling too.

 The third one I tried I used mostly spray inks and some acrylics also. I used some  of the acrylic paint for the flower petals. I dipped my finger in the paint and made the petals with my fingerprints. I also went and got some better thread and a stronger needle for my sewing machine.
They are super fun to make. I have lots of file folders so I will be making more.
