Hello creative souls!
I have used the stunning Writer’s Block collection to create this layout featuring my little son, I love this picture of him… I have used Writer’s Block paper “Burden” for my background, I love this paper because it matches perfectly with every colours your creativity needs! Then I added textures with modeling paste and micro beads, added some stamps to add further dimension, and colours !! Then I layered with different pieces of papers and tags, dies cuts and Stickers from different collections. I also cut some flowers from Homegrown paper’s “Happy”!

Hello dears! Ola here. Today I would like to share with you this mixed media canvas. As my focal point I choose a tag from Fortune Teller collection. This collection has so beautiful and inspiring images! I also cut some flowers from 7 Dots Studio – Homegrown – Happy paper and prepared a several Big Shot die cuts from a few papers from 6×6 paper pads: Fortune Teller and Hazy Days. For the background I picked a 7 Dots Studio – Dreamscapes – Cloudy paper, covered it with a Clear Gesso, added some background stamps and Modeling Paste + black glitter embossing powder through 7 Dots Studio – Fortune-teller – Dots Stencil. Next I built my composition, using papers leftovers, cardstock and chipboard die cuts and flowers. Then I colored my canvas a little bit with water soluble oil pastels, added some glass beads and black glitter and picked a few quotes from several words stickers.

Hi all, I just want to share a little mixed media journal cover I made. I really want to start to art journal and figured well, lets just start with the cover and see where it takes me. I have a number of art journals I have picked up over the years but they sit and collect dust. So I need to just get going with it.

I really love the natural look of the cover and wanted to keep some of it. I added a few little details with stamping and texture with stencils and pastes on the background. But also keeping some of the originality of the cover. I wanted to add details on the back cover to keep the journal easily useable. So hopefully this inspires me to be more creative and start my first art journal. Thank you for taking a look.
