I Have A Dream

Hi Everyone! It feels so good to play in my art journal again! It's been a while. I made a page for Yvonne's A World Of Fantasy Challenge at Art Journal Journey.

Since I saw Mama Mia Here We Go Again at the cinema, I've been listening to the soundtrack rather a lot since I discovered it was on Amazon Music. I think you can tell which song inspired this page.


I went crazy with my favourite PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylic colours, finger painting and adding marks with my plastic cross-stitch aida, a PaperArtsy stencil, and a paintbrush, as well as lots of painty splatters. I made an angel mask by sketching on paper and cutting it out, then sponged black acrylic paint around it. Then I wrote out the Abba song lyrics, and finished with some more white marks.


Hope you've had a creative day too! Singing along to Dancing Queen at the mo! :-)

  14. Look how those colours peep and pop out from the page amongst those blackened areas. Your Angel stencil is so effective Alison. You will have me singing that song for the rest of the day now hee hee!! Stunning journal page.
    Wishing you a happy creative weekend.
