Here's an art journal page with inspiration from a class on
Christy Tomlinson's blog called the
Art of Wild Abandonment taught by Junelle Jacobson. The background was such messy fun to make! Lots of layers - tissue paper, acrylic paint, gesso, paint stamping, ink stamping, mod podge, and a sewn border. The flowers are cut from deli paper sprayed with Dylusions ink sprays - really incredible vibrant colors. I added pen doodling, buttons, and gems. The bit of found text seemed appropriate :-)
Here's a close-up of one of the flowers. I love the splotchy spray look on the deli paper. And see...I even sewed my buttons!
It just so happens that on
My Mojo Monthly Sarah has chosen the theme of floral frenzy - an appropriate choice for May, don't you think since April showers bring May flowers! So I'm adding in my funky flowers for the frenzy :-) Take some time to look at
Sarah's recent posts as it looks like she's been bit by the art journaling bug too and is having great fun playing. Such wonderful inspiration to see!
