AJJ - Dreams or Wishes

Hi Everyone!

I'm getting myself back into the creative zone with another page for Eileen's Dreams or Wishes theme at Art Journal Journey.


I already had a page painted with leftover red acrylic. I wanted to break this up a bit, so I scribble journaled all over it with black ink. Then I tore one of my recent gel prints into rectangles and collaged these with 3 round teabags. I scraped some white crackle paste over the page to bring it together. Then I used my plastic stitching circle to add patterns with black acrylic, and added three circles cut from my gel print.


I used Tim Holtz word stickers to add my wording, then gave them a black outline with a Stabilo Aquarellable pencil. I used a small round paintbrush to add a red heart. Then I couldn't resist adding some splashes of watery black paint, and used a straw to blow out the larger splashes. Fun!


I hope you're all having a creative weekend too!

  5. I loooove this page, Alison. The phrase you chose is super! Great background. I love your plastic stitching circle. I gather it's not a stencil per se. Where can I get one? Thank you for linking this wonderful page to my dreams theme at AJJ. Eileen xx
