Working it out in my art journal

A couple of weeks ago, I shared an art journal page with you that I created about my word of the year, Flourish. Having a guiding word for the year is an ongoing process of evaluation for me. When I start to question things, I tend to turn to my art journal to work it out!

Since the deli paper had touches of green on it, I extended that color throughout the page with the 6×6 Endless Swirls stencil.

I edged the page with a black ink pad and called it done!
