Hi,
Today I’m sharing my latest art journal layout that I made with minimal products since I brought it with me as I was traveling last week. I already shared this on my IG so I could play along with the SSS art journal challenge that week but didn’t get a chance to publish it on my blog before now.
The inspiration for this double page art journal was the phrase “and into the woods I go to lose my mind and find my soul” The last couple of years I have enjoyed and used hiking as a way of self care, exercise and adventures with my dog and also with my sons. I love how quiet my mind goes looking out from a nice view when we reached the top. Norwegian nature sure is beautiful 🤩
So back to the project, I worked in my stone paper journal from Stamperia and I first applied thin white gesso with a cheap bristle paint brush you typically get in a hardware store to get a streaky finish as my base. Next I applied Dylusion paint I blue and turquoise with baby wipes to get a very transparent color coat. Than I stamped randomly with a script background stamp around the pages. Since I was traveling by plane and couldn’t take lots of fluids with me I did this at home. I also printed out the flowers that are a free Digi paper from Maremis small art.
On my trip a sat down enjoying and relaxing fuzzy cutting the flowers and gluing them down. Then I wrote the phrase and my page was done. I forgot my white gel pen and my black doodling pen at home but I really had fun crating this pages on the go and that’s the main point. I don’t typically use my hand writing on my pages, and the marker I used wasn’t the best, so I might have another go on a page using the same sentiment some day only because I love the phrase so much.
Thank you for stopping by, I hope you got inspired to create yourself a happy day crafting too.
Hugs,
-Christine💮
