Alison CT - Great things never come from the comfort zone.

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a bright and cheerful art journal page.

I chose a white page in the blue Dina Wakley media journal for this project. I began by spritzing the page with water, then I dripped Ecoline watercolour ink onto the page. I then spritzed lightly with more water and left this to dry naturally.

Next I stamped the dots and dashes freehand birder three times, slightly to the left of the page, using versafine clair nocturne ink. I also added some freehand areas of the crackle background.

Using versafine clair nocturne, I add some areas of the script background.

Next I added the clusters of circles stamp from the journal art elements set 2.

I then added the two stamps that are made up of lines to the page.

Next I used tge circle, with dots inside, from the same stamp set to add more layers. I also added three of the numbers from the numbers 1 stamp set.

On seperate card, I stamped two of the large flower from the blooming blooms stamp set. I coloured them with picked raspberry and seedless preserve distress watercolour crayons and a white pencil, which I've blended with a blending pencil. I then cut them out.

I stamped and cut out my chosen sentiment from the ticker tape 3 set.

Finally I glued everything to the background using gel medium.
