Today is full of possibilities - Art Journalling Page

Hey friends

My goal for 2020 was to step out of my comfort zone and 

try something new. I love all the art journal pages 

everyone creates but I haven't really done much. Those 

that know me well, know why. Art journalling is messy and 

I actually don't like getting my hands dirty.....well 

not so much dirty but painty!!! Oh my.... I'm not an anxious 

person but seeing photos of people with paint covered hands are 

more that I can handle, I really struggle. That is probably the 

main reason I haven't don't much in the way of art journalling. 

So......here we go. 

Oh and I did this page somehow with minimal mess to my 

hands and no I didn't wear gloves!!! HOORAY!!

First thing I did to my page was to lay some tissue paper down 

in a few areas using Monte Marte Gel Medium. I then stencilled 

using light moulding paste and the Hud Stencil.

I used a wet wipe and Lindys Magicals to apply some brown 

colour around the edges of my page and a little bit was 

wiped lightly over some of the page.

I stencilled using the Half Tone Stencil and some Colour Blast paste. The paste gave a nice shimmer to the stencilled circles.

I have die cut out three butterflies using old book paper 

and the Dainty Butterfly Large die. Then I have stamped 

Colour Wheel Love Stamp images and die cut using the

Texture 1 die. This die I cut up into smaller pieces 

and placed near my stamped images. Some washi tape was added then finally three small talk stickers from Tim Holtz Idea-ology.

I drew around the border of my page using a stabilo pencil and around the edges of the stickers with a black uni-ball pen.

So there you go.....the first page in my Art by Marlene journal.

See you again in a few weeks. Stay safe and happy crafting.
