Good Morning all! It's been a while since I was on, but I am back and ready to create!
Today at Try it on Tuesday,
we have a new challenge up for the next couple weeks...
Black & White + 1 colour.... one of my favourite challenges!!
It's been a hectic couple of months and I just HAD to do some art journaling for me.
I started off by writing down some of my thoughts and feelings on a white journal page, I wrote across the page, then turned it to write down the page.. asemic writing. I often do this as my first layer of an art journal, no one knows what I wrote, but I know what's there and that is the most important thing to me in art journaling.
Next, I added some black acrylic paint through a stencil using a sponge ...
Finally, I added a red heart using TCW Stencil Butter through a stencil, added some red splatters, a border and a word.
Have a fantastic week!

DeleteWelcome back Helen! I like to write on my pages and gesso over the top - I know what's there and it gets it out in the open (well, sort of!) I love this bold page! I hope that Art Journaling continues to be a useful therapy for you. Big Hugs, Chrisx
