art journal – one lucky day

do you remember last week i had told you all about Liz Hicks offering a FREE progressive art journal workshop.

well this is my second week and today’s brings a very special one for me. it was my birthday yesterday and i celebrated it with my mom who came to visit me from above and with my five besties.

it truly was a special birthday for me. i had such a good day and night.

it is nice to have those in my life who i can be me and am totally accepted for just that whether they agree with everything or not … there is no my way or your way in any of our hearts.

so on to my page.

this week i chose to use only distress stains, archival ink, heirloom gold perfect pearls mist and a couple of pens and some lettering.

i free handed the bird as well as the heart and cut them out of old file folders. for the robin i used distress stains to color and for the heart i chose to zentangle it. i got a couple of zentangle books for my birthday. if you haven’t tried them you should. they are truly meditative. i love how they both turned out. the other two hearts are canvas coloured with distress stain

so here it is, my week two journal page

til next time…

HAPPY SCRAPPING!!!

    Oh wow…I am truly humbled by the beauty of your page! I’ll have to remember to get even more fearless next week….and whip out the juicy inks 🙂 I’m a scrapbooker/card maker, so I have a hard time with not being able to control my mediums. I’ve just started to get comfortable with my soft pastels, but maybe I should whip out some inks, watercolor pencils (which I bought today), etc. and just go for it. What do I have to lose right?
