 Hi everyone

This page was the first page I've done in almost three years! The recent few I've uploaded were done way back in 2019 - I had only just edited and uploaded them.

It's weird how similar this page is to the previous page (#243).

I am enjoying getting back into my art journals and playing.

 Hi everyone!

This page was done almost 3 years ago! I struggled to work out what paints and mediums I used on this page so I apologise for that. I am now back into my art journaling and feeling much better so look out for weekly videos and weekly live streams! Please let me know what you would like to see me do.

Hi everyone

Today I did the blind 3 challenge where I blindly choose three different paints, along with a black and a white paint, to create a page with only those paints.

The paints I blindly chose were 'espresso', 'pretty pink' and 'lime yellow'.

I used stencils, stamps stickers (black & white) and stamped an image onto white cardstock, fussy cut it out and painted it with the 3 colours I blindly chose!

I think it worked out fairly well in the end.

Hi everyone!

Seems like I'm still on the 'HOPE' feeling with my page today. HOPING (no pun intended) things lighten up soon!

Today's page (the colours anyway) was inspired by my grandson, Justin. I'd recently made an altered file folder for his sister, Amelia, and Justin said he'd like one also. I asked him what colours he wanted and he replied 'gray, blues and light purple'. That's where my background colours came from today!

Only once the background was done did I decide to slap an image on it, a quote and call it done LOL.
