Accentuate the Positive with an Art Journal spread

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Toward the end of February we had some unseasonably warm weather following a few very windy days. Those windy days left me with a yard full of sticks and twigs that had fallen from the huge River Birch tree in my front yard. The temps were near 70 degrees so I spent a gorgeous afternoon doing a bit of cleanup and managed to get a really bad case of the Spring Fever. I had Spring on my mind when I put together this spread in my art journal. I hope you enjoy!

    Not all decorative napkins have three layers, some have only two. Check carefully to avoid tearing that top layer. Love the variety of tones in the book pages. Thanks for sharing the process as well as the results.

I especially loved experimenting with my supplies without any goal, just going with it. So yesterday I got myself a journal with thick paper and some matte medium. I also went to my parenst for some old books and I’m ready to make another page. Thank you for showing this!

    @@kristina-rae I just finished my first page in my journal and I had a lot of fun! I feel like I want to highlight some things a bit more, but it didn’t really work and I wasn’t sure how to do it better. I’ll give it another try next time. Also, my pens didn’t work very well on top of the matte medium and the gesso, so I’ll have to try some different ones. But, it’s just so relaxing, time flies while you’re journaling!

I love their quirky designs but your idea of stamping the outline on the journal page was genius. Also have to mention - my name is Kristin with middle name, Rae. I have met very few women with the name Rae, as first or middle! So cool to see we are sooooo close to having the same name!

    Hi! Listening to your comment about liking thicker glue reminds me of a challenge I recently had. Got a new bottle of art glitter glue and it was too runny. So my husband suggested I get a pot of hot water slowly going and I set the bottle in the middle. I didn't rush cooking off some water out of the glue as it could form a skin on the glue and make the bottle itself start to collapse. Took me a good hour , doing it at a low temp., but it thickened up my glue. I also use Fabri Tac glue when I use fabric and to thin that down it just needs a bit of nail polish remover. Sometimes we spend more time on our supplies than getting to use them! 😂boiling
