Fascinating comments on yesterday's post. Thank you to everyone who left a note sharing why you do or don't art journal. I want to write a few thoughts down in response, but I'm running short on time and it's getting late. So I thought I'd share this layout instead and get back to the art journaling train of thought tomorrow. See you then!
A week or so ago I played a fun game over at Studio Calico. We starting a "scraplifting" chain. Essentially, each person would lift the person above them. I posted right after the very sweet Michelle (aka ravenea). I think her artwork is so free and lovely, so I was delighted to lift her!
This is her layout:
And this is my lift:
I guess I'm obsessed with airbrushing these large pink titles, huh? I just love the look. I think I need some more stencil letters — all different sizes!
Items I lifted (in case it's not obvious):
- I loved the two square photos! I wish I had some black borders like you see on Michelle's photos, but I didn't. So I went with white.
- Her wonky hand drawn border looks so good, so I added a stitched border to my layout. I think it really helps to frame the layout, especially on a light colored background like this one.
- I liked her banner. I mean, who doesn't like a banner? I made mine from a mixture of pennant die cuts and scraps of paper and then stitched it down.
Thanks for stopping by!
Very nice! I like the pink letters too, with the word making over it…nice contrast!
