Hi everyone!

Well I tried! Watching Sara (MySerenityCrafts) over on YouTube who suggested we google castle images and draw it from there! I think I could get away with the castle drawing but the colouring and shading leaves a lot to be desired. Good thing my notebook journal can expand to add many pages because it's gonna take that long to get this thing right! LOL

Hi everyone!

Today's page was inspired by Sara (my serenity crafts on YouTube). I have been binge watching Sara's videos for a couple of weeks now. I love her style! It takes me back to my folk art days and my patchwork quilting days. I used to love creating quilts with lots of applique - designs in this style. So when I found Sara I knew I just had to attempt one of her pages.

You can watch Sara's video on how she created this page by CLICKING HERE.

Wish Big Journal Page

Hi everyone!

So today's stream I decided to use my watercolour journal (gifted to me by Zandra). I had no idea what I wanted to create on the page and just let the girls in the chat lead the way, which they did LOL.

So after adding my acrylic paints to the page Kathy and Eileen said I should try to use distress oxide inks over the acrylic. OK, challenge set LOL. I must say it looked awesome! I really love the different shades of brightness from the acrylics against the oxides!

Once we were happy with the background I thought it looked magical so decided to add a fairy! That done, I added a tree to the page then the title. Voila! All in an hour's time too! It really can be done LOL
