I finally found my heART journal!! So of course I had to play…
materials used: gesso, gelatos, acrylic paint, washi tape, diamond netting as stencil, magazine image, clothing tag, butterfly(Michael’s), pre-printed quote, gold pigment ink pad and perfect pearls.
My back is finally feeling up to sitting at the computer for a bit so I can show you a journal page I made several days ago. It was created from bits of this and that laying around.
A couple clothing tags…tissue paper…sheet music and an image I stamped on an old book page. I used watercolor pencils to give her some color. I didn’t even remember that I had this stamp. She’s just so darned cute.
Alright…that’s it…I’m cashed out. Something about having my arms out in front of me just kills my back. I’m going to have to try a laptop on my lap sometime and see if that is any better.
Yesterday afternoon while searching for my heart shaped journal….which I still haven’t found…I came across 2 art journals I had started years ago. One is almost full and the second only has a handful of pages complete.
The large butterfly image fell into my lap as I was digging around through my stash. I decided it was high time that I used it.
I began with gesso and paint for the background in greens and yellow. Sort of thinking rainforest backdrop. After it dried I was convinced that it needed more color and texture. Out came the gelatos! I’m loving them…my new favorite supply! 
I went over top with a little more paint sponged through a bit of punchenella. I searched my bin of found text until some words spoke to me.
