Good morning, friends! Nicole here with a few art journaling spreads I created. I don't normally play in art journals, but I was looking for something different to do...so I thought I'd grab a few
Shimmering Matte Acrylics and my art journal to see what would happen... I am using a variety of products from
Art by Marlene for this spread. Her products are super fun and easy to work with.
And what happened was...I HAD SO MUCH FUN! Seriously, I can't wait to create a few more art journal spreads. It was Friday night, and I just wanted to play with paint. To begin, I grabbed four
Shimmering Matte Acrylics in the colors of
Spring Green,
Cajun Pumpkin,
Bohemian Blue, and
Peony. Next, I painted both pages using the Peony Shimmering Matte Acrylics.
After the paint dried a bit, I used a cap to make circles using all the Shimmering Matte Acrylics.
After I finished making a few circles, I grabbed a small pointed paint brush to create some orange plus signs in the background.
I let this dry a bit before gluing down all the fun die cuts! Super simple techniques, but a great way to add color to your journaling spreads!
Are you a fan of playing in art journals? This is a first for me, and I think I'm hooked. Can't wait to share a few more creations with you in the upcoming months.
I managed to tuck a few hidden embellishments throughout the art journal...for fun.
What do you think? Think you're ready to give art journaling a try? You won't know if it's something you'll enjoy until you try it out for yourself.
I truly hope you find this project inspiring, and I hope I inspired you to try something different! Thank you so much for visiting today.
Nicole
