Art Journal

 

I had watched on YouTube JournalArtista talk about an art journal where you can experiment and be really creative.  I loved the concept and decided to start my own.  Now my first take on this was very conservative since I had this fear I would “mess” up.  What I decided to do was experiment with some of the inks that I had never used and “wing” my layout.

I used Walnut distress ink on my background paper and it gave the paper a sort of portrait look like the school backgrounds.

I then added another mat that I inked with Walnut Distress ink and Vintage Photo ink.  I added a Making Memories pendant charm to a bookplate and placed it on the mat.

Finally I place a prima rose and a cameo in the left corner.  I know, really conservative but it was my first one.

 

Thanks for stopping by
