Art Journal: Lavinia Backgrounds with Magicals Powders. Mixed Media.



My latest #youtubetutorial #artjournal upload. For this project I used my "Hand Book" watercolour art journal 6" x 6" from Global Arts . The paper in this journal is thick and gorgeous to work with.

 

 The Stamps I used were FINE FLOWERS and FINE LEAVES from #DarkroomDoor,  and the Background is from #LaviniaStamps. The butterfly and Journalling quote are from a sticker book I purchased from Spotlight (available also from American Crafts) from #OneCanoeTwo.  
  

The stamps were stamped in tuxedo Memento Black Ink , then sprinkled and spritzed with #LindysGang Magicals Powders from the Drop Dead Divas range.

Colour Coordination Journalling.

Sometimes it's nice to work on a clean and simple project. I love a neat work station, and you can see from the photo that I kept the theme simple, and the colours coordinated.

I love this shell plate that I bought many years ago, and use it to store what I'm working on. Here I was using leaves, twigs, brown paper bags and Kraft tags, along with twine and soft nature coloured washi tape. This was a serene, calm project, and a very relaxing way to spend an afternoon unwinding.
Happy weekend!
