Hey there Friend.

I am back today with an art journal page. 🙂

**The Crafter’s workshop provided me some products to create this project. The opinions I share, however, are solely my own. :)***

If you want to watch the process video, you can find it here:

To start off, I reached for my A5 Art journal and started putting some Dina Wakley paint down with a paint brush.  I made some circles and patches that blend together and some just abruptly end.  I wanted to break free from my normal backgrounds that all blend together (Although I love them too.)  These elements in the background will form part of my focal points later.    

Now to add some texture and interest to the background.  I use the same color pallet as in the background, to stencil.  First up I use TCW834 Stone Increase in some of the circles.

Next I add more texture in the olive color to the bottom  and in the dark blue areas with TCW835 Plaid Fringe.  This looks so stunning.

Lastly I use TCW851 Dotted rings with the dark blue color, which just make it pop.

For the focal elements, I add some Art by Marlene Die cuts.

I also add shading around them, using my stabilo all pencil, and activating it with water.

Lastly, I add some mark to the circles in the background and make extra random marks using regular oil pastels.

Loving this look.

And that’s the page done!!  I hope you enjoyed this project and got inspired!
