Hi Friends! I'm here to share another art journal page with you all! I noticed that I've been sticking mostly to a blue and green pallet lately and figured it was time to switch it up! This double page spread was created on two A4 sized Finnabair printed papers. Because they already encompassed the colour pallet I was aiming for, I really did very little to the background. I just randomly stamped a script stamp all over the papers with black archival ink and applied white gesso. I was really feeling like adding a lot of texture to this layout, so I used two of my Shnibblybits stencils, Harlequin and Mixed Numbers  with modelling paste, just alternating the patterns randomly over both pages. I let the page dry overnight. Now the colour, I used the following Lindy's sprays, Phantom Fuchsia, Hottie Pattotie Hot Pink, & Sunset Pink. Once that was dry I did a little stamping around the colour with black archival ink and a music notes and a bubbles stamp. I used v

Hi Friends! I'm here to post the process of my latest art journal page. I really had fun with this page and am happy that I was able to finish it relativity quickly. Starting out on mixed media paper, I applied strips of old book pages and various washi tapes with mod podge. Once I was happy with the composition, I covered the entire page with white gesso. With black archival ink and a few Tim Holtz stamps, I randomly stamped around the paper and tape cluster. I then add the colour, using Lindy's sprays in Sea Mint Green and Mystic Malachite, I mostly just stay to the cluster, spraying and using the dip tubes to apply the colour. I used my heat tool to dry and add a few colour splaters here and there. I then glue down a few ripped pages borders, a few rulers from a Tim Holtz paper pack, some scrap ribbon, drywall tapes, and an embossed butterfly as the bases of the photos. I had previously cut out the two small shipping tags from a  Shnibblybits  SVG file and added som

Hi Friends! I'm posting another quick art journal page today. I started this page with scraps of Tim Holtz tissue wrap and masking tape which I adhered with Mod Podge. I arranged and adhered scraps of canvas gesso side down and then gessoed the entire page. Using a blending tool and Distress Oxides in Broken China and Antique Linen I added colour to the background. I then used Lindy's sprays and Inktense pencils to colour and outline the canvas pieces with several blue and brown shades. I randomly added script stamping with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide, pine needle stamping with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide, and stencilled Harlequin pattern with Shnibblybits stencil with Broken China Distress Oxide. After inking the edges of a few Shnibblybits vines with black ink, I adhered them down with all purpose glue. I then added some floral and butterfly die cuts from Tim Holtz to make a few clusters. Finally I added the bird, he's an Arboreal chickadee who frequent
