Art Journaling – Strathmore – Always Be You

Here’s the next page:

The first thing I did for this week’s art journaling page was to spray some mists into a baby wipe and then rub it along my page to color it.

See the baby wipe? I spray right into it and then just rub it on the page. I used several shades of blue and green.

Then I took my tree from the Mistables stickers by Pink Paislee and colored it with distress ink. And lay some pink and white heart-shaped beads on it. For three of them I used buttons or cabachons just for some fun texture and variety. I also added some Donna Downey Prima canvas letters and wings.

Then I removed the wings, added some stamping, some stitching, letter stickers, and a bunch of birds. The stickers read “Always be You.”

here’s a close-up.

I didn’t like the page, decided to add a bunch more birds.

I like it better now. Still not my favorite but something different. And that’s the point.

And for your viewing pleasure, here’s a little movie, too:

I am creating multiple art journaling pages a week for July and August (and maybe longer). You can read more about it and the book I am using for these pages at the top of this blog post.
