Quick & Easy art journal page

Good Morning all! Helen here with a quick and easy art journal page! Sometimes we just don’t have a lot of time to spend playing with our TCW goodies, so a quick and easy art journal spread does the trick.

Finished quick and easy art journal page

The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project.

The opinions I share are solely my own.

The Crafter’s Workshop products used:

TCW966 12”x12” Marrakesh Tiles stencil                 

TCW909 Quadrangle Fan 6”x6” stencil 

TCW9002 Black Gesso 

A while ago, Jaime taught us about analogous color schemes (three colors next to each other on the color wheel) and I find myself using this when I am stuck on what colors to use on a project. This makes things so much easier, especially when you have a short amount of time to play. So, for this art journal page, I used the 3 colors shown below. I grabbed some inks that matched the colors, TCW966 12”x12” Marrakesh Tiles stencil, and sponged these 3 colors through the stencil over the entire page.

I used 3 colors next to each other on the color wheel.... analogous color... and sponged through TCW966 Marrakesh 12x12" stencil using inks over the entire page of my art journal.
3 colors next to each other on the color wheel work so nice together. Here is what it looks like done.

I then used TCW9002 Black Gesso and sponged through the circles of TCW909 Quadrangle Fan 6”x6” stencil randomly over the page.

Finished page after gesso is dried.

To finish this off, I added some stamped words, my little ladies, some washi and a snarky quote.. of course! 5 minutes and done! Now time to go pick weeds!
