Gratitude Junk Journal Day 8 - A Quote of Gratitude

Hello folks! 

I have an art journal spread to share today for Leah's Art Every Day Month Challenge Day 11. It's a spread I made for the Gratitude Junk Journal course, with a gratitude quote.


I started with a background of teabag papers, scraped some Seaglass Fresco acrylic across to pick up the textures, then painted my tree with DecoArt burnt umber. I added some hanging hearts and a quote, then finished with red paint splatters. I sanded the tree lightly to bring out some texture also.

Here's a closer look at the textures and quote.


You can see what everyone else has been doing at AEDM HERE.

Thanks for visiting,

  1. I had never heard or seen that Wilder quote before, but it certainly goes well with your tree and hearts. I love, love, love the beautiful background you created. I'm always so in awe of how you use your tea bags. This was definitely a fun, fun entry, and one you can be both proud of and grateful for.

  4. What a lovely page and quote! You got some great textural effects. The hanging hearts remind me of an online friend who crochets hearts and leaves them hanging on trees in her area as a message of love.
