Be Strong, Be Happy Journal Page

Hi Everyone!

Who'd have thought I'd take to yellow so well?! I have another art journal page to share for Rike's February Colour Yellow theme at Art Journal Journey, and also PaperArtsy's Topic One Colour Mustard challenge.


I'm working in my handmade gel print journal so there was already a background. I added some stamping, using a PaperArtsy Seth Apter stamp set with archival black ink and Snowflake Fresco acrylic. Then I used Dina Wakley stencils for the silhouettes, daisy patterns and words, with Banana, Terracotta and Mermaid Fresco acrylic, and black ink. I finished with black and white gel pen outlines.


Hope you've had a happy and creative day,

Alison xox

  1. Be strong be happy - I am happy you made a new page with yellow - wonderful and very creative! That's fine to have some ready gelli-print backgrounds, they are so inspiring, isn't it? My next pages will be also on ready gelli-prints.
    Thank you for linking another beautiful mixed media page to AJJ! Rike xx

  12. I really love this Alison - and the shades/tones of blue you have used really compliment the yellows.. I am re-thinkng my dislike of yellow as it seems (probably like all colours) its about getting the right shades of each colour to work together :)
    Happy Friday ..have a great weekend.... Gill xx

  15. This is a brilliant page, despite the in your face yellow, lol - only joking - but I'd feel ill if I used too much of that shade. Funny how I love it when others use it...
    A brilliant page, Alison.
