Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 31

Day 31 of 31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

So we have 3 colours: Black, Oragne and Green

An Affirmation Quote: Believe in the Magic.

An element: Halloween

I used a Jack and Sally Napkin that I found at Big W this year. Awesome, you get the same image 4 times.

A bit of acrylic paint and white Gel pen through a stencil.

I love love love how it turned out.

So our 31 days are at an end, I did it!

I am so proud of myself because I start these challenges with the best of intensions and only seem to get halfway through!

So now I plan on doing the last 10 days of my July Junk Journal Challenge.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 30

Day 30 of 31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

So we have 3 colours: Gold, Blue and Violet

An Affirmation Quote: The butterfly is proof that you can go through a great deal of darkness and still become something beautiful.

An element: Butterflies

I used my watercolour Paints along with one of my Art by Marlene acrylic paints, Jane Davenports Colorsticks and my Inktense pencils.

Stamps sets by Kaisercraft and Stampin Up with Archival inks.

My girl, butterflies and saying are all from Embrace Change Art Image pack by Elisa Ablett for Michelle Grant Designs.

I enjoyed the process of using a variety of mediums. However, when it came to doing my girls face, another story all together. A few layers later and I called her done.

Am I happy with it, no, do I hate it, no, this challenge is both for fun and to learn.

So I did learn and I loved the challenge.

Next time I will colour any people before they go on my page.

Wowsers, only one more to go!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 29

Day 29 of 31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

So we have 3 colours: Green, Mustard and Blue

An Affirmation Quote: Where flowers bloom, so does hope.

An element: Flowers

I used a Distress Oxide Spray ink and a Dylusions Spray ink through a stencil.

Then I got out my tin of ephemera from Ephemoire when I was on her Design Team and created some clusters for my layout.

My saying is another Art By Marlene Sticker Quote.

I really love how it turned out and combing the ephemera onto my pages.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 28

Day 28 of 31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

So we have 3 colours: Purple, Teal and Yellow

An Affirmation Quote: Let your light shine so brightly that others can see their way out of the dark.

An element: Stars / Lights

I used Elisa Ablett's Secret Garden Wallpapers with Michelle Grant's Expressible, Silent and Paper Dolls packs.

Acrylic paints and stencils.

Black paint splats.

It pretty much represents my work days just at the moment - mixed up and not sure I like it.

The good thing is that I can look back at it in weeks, months ad then decide to redo and maybe do it differently, or not redo and just learn from what I did and maybe what I could have done.

Anyway, 3 more days to go, can you believe we are getting near the 31 days coming to an end.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 27

Day 27 of 31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

So we have 3 colours: Orange, Grey and Green

An Affirmation Quote: Let your dreams be your wings.

An element: Wings

I got the 2021 and 2022 Holiday and Halloween Distress Crayons yesterday so thought today was a good do to do a swatch chart and use on my layout!

My Butterflies are rub-ons from 49 and Market.

My saying is from Karen Yates Little Word Bits #2.

I have to say, this layout is very shinny with those distress crayons.

I love it.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
