Art Journal Calendar - December 2021

 Hi Everyone.

Today I'm sharing my art journal calendar spread for December.

I started with some collage papers, then scraped on some turquoise and white acrylic paint. 

I used a PaperArtsy Mini doorway stamp for my daily journaling, stamping straight onto my page first, then stamping onto gessoed book pages also. I cut out the inside of the doorways, and adhered them as shown above. 

I used Darkroom Door Alphas and numbers to stamp the title and words, and Hero Arts Alphas to stamp the day numbers. I used a white pen to add highlights to the words, and finished with white ink splashes.

Here's my November calendar, all filled in.

I'm linking my December calendar to Valerie's When one door closes, another door opens theme at Art Journal Journey.

Have a great weekend, and thanks for visiting.

GJJ - Day 20 - A Quote of Gratitude

 Hi Everyone.

I love the quote for Day 20 of Gratitude Junk Journal. It's all about being grateful for what you have, and not complaining about the things you want.

A fairly simple page (for me), just a collage of Seven Gypsies patterned papers and some old book page scraps. A little turquoise paint scraped over with a palette knife, some quickly sketched flowers and outlines with my Stabilo All black pencil, then activated with water. I held up my journal to get some drips, and added some splatters. I stamped the quote out using my trusty Hero Arts alphabet set, then finished with some white acrylic ink splatters.

I'm linking my page to Leah's Art Every Day Month challenge Day 27. 

I think my page has some Summer vibes with the flowers and the turquoise sky, and maybe the drips are a Summer shower, so I'm also linking to Chris' All Kinds Of Weather theme at Art Journal Journey.

I hope you're all having a good weekend.

Thanks for visiting,

Alison
