Art Journal - You Really Measure Up

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  Today I am sharing another page from my Art Journal - as I have said before, we are all on a journey, whether it is art, faith, health or something else. I was inspired to journal when I created the Mixed Media project using some of the Spellbinders Seth Apter Collection - you can see the post HERE.


This page is very simple, not a lot of layers, which I usually love, but lots of added details.  The background has been stamped using a gorgeous butterfly background stamp by Penny Black Inc. using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black.  


It has then been coloured using the Crayon Resist Technique where I have coloured parts of the butterfly using White Crayon and then sponged over the stamped background using coloured inks. Take a paper towel and buff the image to remove any ink off the white crayon.  I have randomly stamped postmarks and words using Imagine Memento Ink in Bamboo Leaves and Rhubarb Stalk.

A few stamped ink splotches using Imagine Memento Ink in Teal Zeal and a few little 'additions' from my stash.  The sentiment is an older one from Crafty Secrets and has been trimmed, sponged around the edges with brown ink and adhered above the beautiful ribbon of large red roses - also from my stash - I believe it is from a RAK ( Random Act of Kindness).

Lastly I have cut red card stock using Spellbinders Shapeabilities Die DLites Hearts Etched Dies and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine and adhered to the journal page using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra I just love this journal created using recycled cardboard - I have great plans for it .... hope you join me and help me 'spread my wings' in this journey!!
