Art Journal Page #4

Here is my newest page!  Even though I don't feel like the whole page is that awesome all together the background was really fun and kind of just happened by accident.  First I had these neon food colors that I wanted to try using.  
First I put a few layers of paper towels down and sprayed them with water.  

 


 Then I used the food coloring and just dropped it randomly all over the wet paper towels
Then I rolled the paper towels up and squeezed them a little to spread the color out through all the paper towels. 

After I unrolled the paper towels and took them apart they looked like this, kind of tie died and splotchy.  I saved these and will probably use them in another page.   

 I spread Mod Podge all over the page and stuck pieces of the paper towels all over it.  When I peeled it off it left this cool pattern of awesome color.  I did this quite a few times to make layers of color and until it looked like enough color.  I also sprayed the paper towels in between to keep them moist and leave color onto the page.


This is the final result.  




 It was really easy and looks so cool.  You could also do it with just one color or just a few to make it more specific to a color scheme
I added the things I'd rather be doing over the top which I love that idea but I don't really like to colors I used for paper underneath the words
