Lindy's color challenge March 2020

The finished spread for Lindy's March 2020 color challenge

Here is my art journal spread for the Lindy's color challenge, March 2020. I did not enter it to the challenge competition because I didn't finish it until April the second. I could have finished it a couple days before that because the background was finished already and it was missing only the focal point and the text. But I had lost the flow again, and also the Corona virus had occupied everyone's mind.

For the background I used a stencil by The Crafter's workshop and the modelling paste by Prima. Over that I put some crackle texture paste by Prima. The crackle paste had thickened quite a bit so I had to add some water to the jar and then let it sit for a while. After that I was able to apply it with a brush. It was applicable with a palette knife before adding the water but I wanted to add it a very thin layer. The daisy was found on the internet and printed after downscaling and color enhancing. I also colored it with the wooden colored pencils.
