Bringing in the new year with a new Art Journal


Good afternoon! leslierahye here to share with you this fun journal page I created using Graphic 45 Staples, Stampendous! Cling Stamps and Retro Cafe Art Gallery collages. This was the first page of my new art journal and I wanted to capture the essence of this journal with my design. In this journal I will be exploring different techniques throughout the year. 

To create this journal I began by misting the background, lifting off with a towel color to achieve the desired look. Once I was happy with the background, I layered on the Castle Gate image with Mix'd Media Inx. I glued down an ATC sized collage image from Retro Cafe Art and added Graphic45 Staples Flowers. A bit more misting helped to tie the new elements into the page. Once the page was dry, I was able to create some doodling and journaling with my charcoal pencil and white prismacolor pencil. I hope you enjoyed my creation! Thank you for stopping by!
