Good day to you.. I really hope your day is going well...
The latest card challenge over at
OFF THE RAILS is to add fabric to your card.. I have some denim from an old pair of jeans so I cut some off that and used it on my card.. I cut a hexagon from a die and covered it with the denim and made this little card..
Best Wishes..
And the mood board for April for
SCRAP AROUND THE WORLD was the inspiration I needed to create another art journal page.. my second double pager!!
This is a mood board..
and I created this... I used 4 parts of this board, I just couldn't find a spot for the glasses!!
closer views first..
I gessoed first, then put bits of old book paper down, then gesso lightly again, then stamped, then lightly misted in green, then made the circles and put them on the page and lightly misted them, then added strips of washi tape, then masked on the butterflies and misted with blue before I lifted off the mask, then flicked some paint, then put the butterfly stickers on, then the journaling words.. then outlined the masked butterflies with black pen.. and the end result..
Don't overthink it..
I hope you can see the inspiration I took from the mood board for my pages.. I must admit I do like how a mood board inspires for art journalling, and it is a lot of fun!!
Thanks for dropping in for a few minutes in your busy day, and thank you so much for any comments you leave me!!
