Cupcake Art 101: Patience

This little art journal page 

was a learning experience for me.

I decided to be daring and do something different,

let me explain...

for the background I used one of the pages of my gratitude journal

glued ripped texted paper randomly here and there.

while that was drying I started making the cupcake

on a separate paper

I used a big index card where I sprayed some paint

(here is how I made the background)

and as you can see I used a read cupcake liner to make this project

the next step was painting the cupcake part 

and outline it with white scribble paint

now... mistake #1 not waiting for this part to dry

mistake #2 taking pictures with my crappy cell phone lol

then as you can see here my cupcake is tilting

so I redid the cupcake liner to make it straight

mistake #3 looking for perfection in my art

(something I have never done before :/)

I cut it out and put it on my gratitude journal background

which it wasn't planned that way by the way :)

so here is mistake #4 not letting everything dry completely

before cutting all around the cupcake; it was wet, heavy and flimsy. 

and here is my final product

mistake #5, since it was still wet

I couldn't turn the cupcake part around to apply glue on it

so I applied the glue on my background - big mistake -

now that is dry you can see the shining from the glue :/

Oh well, my art is done, perfect of not lol

and I had to show it to you since it took so much effort

and share my learning experience so all the beginners out there

don't make the same mistake.

So I am going to call this #artjournal page
