Hi Everyone! It's the 7th and final day of SouthernGal's 5 Minute Journaling Challenge on Instagram. I'm definitely getting the hang of this, and it's a great way to fit in some creativity, even when it's too hot, or you're busy.
I got some paint out ready, and chose a great colour combo that PaperArtsy have as their current challenge. Claret, Sage, Mint & Gold. Although I forgot to use mint, and I have turquoise scraps, so it probably won't count. I'm going to enter my page for Try It On Tuesday's Book Paper Challenge though.
I applied the base of sage paint with an old credit card, and used the corner to scribble in it. Such fun! And I used a small round paint brush to create the flower petals and marks, another of my favourite techniques.
This speedy challenge has been such a blessing in the heat this week, so I'm linking to Elizabeth's Count Your Blessings Challenge over at Art Journal Journey too. And Moo Mania & Moo are asking for Sheet Music, so I'm linking there too!
Hope you all have a wonderful and creative weekend,
Alison xox

An inspiring thought, and the 5-minute challenge still strikes me as quite the challenge. I like your arrangement of the colors.

I also like your choice of colors. This was so much fun and I'm delighted you chose to share it with us at Art Journal Journey, too.

Amazing five minutes of creativity - this is beautiful. It's a colour combination I'd never have come up with myself, but I've been really enjoying the PA posts.
