Beautiful Day

Welcome friends,

Happy Birthday to the 2nd Blogaversary - Thank you very much for inviting me!

I was just so honoured and excited. 

Country view challenge - Anything goes 

 perfectly theme and so I have choose - no surprise ;-) - Art journaling , 

because it makes me happy!,

it relaxes me and helps me to stress management

used materials + white gesso + decoupage glue

 I have worked with decoupage technique (napkin), 

used stencils, stamps, distress inks, laces and grandma's old buttons.

It's a memory on a very beautiful day in Paris  last year.

I hope you will inspired to discover the fascinating world of Art Journaling. 

In fact, there are no rules for journaling, is anything goes.
This is actually the oft-quoted "The journey is the reward" and the images are created precisely.
The journaling very different forms of expression can be used: painting, drawing, photography, collage, stamps, stencils, writing, .... and much more. Often it is a combination of different techniques in Mixed media style, that lead to pages .

Primed with diluted white gesso, let dry, then use a wonderful napkin with decoupage glue, just the stencils with white gesso, dry it with heating tool. Drawing some branches with black acrylic paint, use some suitable stamps with archival pigment ink and another stencil with distress ink (diamond), glue on some embellishments and last but not least - a personalized text in spidery handwriting and 

voila finished is a new art journaling page.

Just start, having fun and try out!
