March Art Journal Calendar

Morning Folks!

Here's my mixed media art journal calendar spread for the month ahead.


I collaged lots of painted paper scraps and round teabags for the background, adding scrapes of DecoArt Crackle Paste, and making marks with lego, a paintbrush, an old credit card and DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in teal, green gold and carbon black.


I die-cut tickets for journaling from painted papers, outlining them with a black Posca paint pen, then stamping the numbers. The title was hand-written on painted masking tape. 

I used a small round paintbrush and white gesso to create the flower petals, adding a dot of Tango orange PaperArtsy Fresco acrylic, then lightly brushing it out onto the petals. I finished with some splashes of white paint.



Thanks for dropping by,

Alison xox
