About this series:
I'm sharing some of my intuitive art journal spreads in this series. All videos will NOT be part of any Design Team work. I pick the supplies that I wanna use right in this moment.
Art Journaling is a very big part of my creative life. It means, I find time to get some mental relief, I write down the thoughts or quotes that are imortant for me.
Creating in my journal is also some kind of art practicing. I learn a lot about the different mediums, I am using, and I develope new ideas to use in prospective work.

Of course I will always give you a list of supplies. I know how frustrating it is, if you see a tool in a video and can't find out what it is. You will find the supplies in the video description.

I hope I can give you some inspiration. Art journaling doesn't have to be perfect!!! The result must have a meaning to YOU.
Your body needs movement your soul needs colours, patterns and words - no perfection!

Stamped Watercolor Tag with STAMPlorations

Hi my dear crafty friends!

I have a watercolor tag to share with you today. It's stencil sunday over at the STAMPlorations blog.
It's the first time I've tried this technique. I left the stencil on the wet watercolor background until it was dry. This adds a very interesting texture to it.


My main images are the Trendy Spring Blooms from STAMPlorations. I stamped them with Distress Oxide inks and cut the coordinating dies from DCWV gold foil cardstock.
I added some stamping to the background for more interest.
