Recently I started art journalling, and I love it! This is where my creativity took me today...
I used warm reds as a background for these pages, which are not my go to colours, so I had prepped this a while ago, then got stuck. The base is brush crystals in Alizarin Red and Crimson, then washed over with a thin layer of gesso to take the colour down a bit.
I gained some inspiration from a YouTube tutorial by Mimi Bondi, her channel is full of inspiration, so check her out!
I added some Dina Wakely paints in Tangerine, Turquoise, Magenta and Lime. I used a Clarity Stamps flower burst stencil in Lime and Turquoise paints, then toned it down with the Magenta, Ruby and Tangerine.
I added the small mesh dots using a tim Holtz stencil and Deco Art black paint, and all the stamps are from PaperArtsy Eclectica ranges, from Jofy, Tracy Scott, and Lin Brown. To stamp the flowers I used Teal Staz On ink, and for the little circles and crosses I used a Memento Brilliance pad in white. The sentiments are stamped in Midnight Staz On ink.
Here's some of the supplies I used! I have used my favourite supplies for these pages, paints, stamping, inks and stencils! To make the flowers pop, I outlined them in a white sharpie pen. To add a bit of sparkle I added some tickles to the circle and flower centres.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges -
Art Journal Journey - Circles
Love to Create - Anything Goes
Crafting from the Heart - Anything Goes
Creative Inspirations - Favourite Things (mine are Brushes, paints and stamping!)
Thanks for stopping by,
