Art Journalling

I love the art journal style and had a bit of time to play with my own art journal this week. I am entering this into the Fashionable Stamping Challenge, where the theme is journalling!



First I painted the page with acrylic paint, then using Gel Medium stuck on the torn book pages.  I painted over the top of the whole page with a light coat of Gesso.  I used a stencil to create the sunflowers using Distress Ink and foam.

The stamps are a fabulous set by Sam Poole for Creative Expressions. I paper pieced the fairy before adding other motifs onto the page. I used Promarkers to colour some of the motifs and the words were stamped onto paper before cutting out and sticking on.

Be True To Who You Are

Never a true word said ! A couple of months ago I was so lucky to win three stamp sets from Sam Poole through Creative Expressions. I love the art journal style of these.


To make this card I created a background with Cosmic Shimmer Mists. I stamped the fairy onto different papers and paper pieced the final one. I stamped on the dress and overstamped the background with a texture stamp from the set and the quote.

Challenges I am entering:
Fashionable Stamping Challenges - Lets get Inky and Messy
Perfect Sentiments Challenge - Include a sentiment
Word Art Wednesday- Uplifting sentiment
