For my project today I decided to do my first... I guess you would call it an art journal page. It is not in a book yet, and I didn't use any fancy mixed media stuff...just my favorite stuff that I like. But I guess there is no right or wrong way to art journal...so that is what I am calling it - LOL!

 

 

 

 

 

I used one of my favorite Ching-Chou Kuik images called Dark Sirene and colored her with copics. My page is 6 1/4" x 6 1/4". The Designer paper I chose is from the Gorgeous Girls line...totally my favorite paper ever and I will be getting it listed in the store, hopefully by early Monday morning :) I frantaged the edges, again this will be in the store soon too! The flowers are some of my favorite colors and they are from prima...will be in the store soon too - LOL! The die cut tree is the La La Land Heart Tree Die  and I used the Martha Stewart Branch Punch to punch some branches for under my flowers.

 

I wanted this to look like kind of a dark, mysterious night with a few stars and I thought the gold frontage looked a little like fireflies :)

 

Here is a close up of my journal words that I stamped on vellum:

 



 

This is part of the sentiment that comes with the Ching-Chou Kuik The Seahorse set. I completed my page with one of my favorite butterfly embellishments that I bought of Etsy.

 

Here is a close up of Dark Sirene:

 

 

 

I did the background around her with copics by dotting different colors and then blending them with the lightest yellow and teal I had. Then I sponged the edges with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Shaded Lilac.

Be sure to check out what the other Designers have for you today!! Don't forget to leave comments on all the blogs for the most chances to win to be in our drawing on October 6th!! Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for stopping by!
