Playing in my art journal has become so rewarding and grounding lately!!
I decided to join in on Dina Wakley's and Ranger Ink's Show Us Your Media Challenge. Dina has chosen the theme Gratitude and June's prompt is 'I Am Grateful For Second Chances'.
This two page spread began with the tag. I had stamped the image and coloured with scribble sticks and then applied a wet scribble stick to stamp to get the water coloured blue dots effect. The tag needed a home so I found some Collage Collectives paper that seemed to be the perfect backdrop for the tag.
First I applied gloss sprays through a stencil on the canvas page and then applied the left over spray on the stencil to the opposite page. I cut out a section of the canvas and adhered it along with some strips of the paper so that this page flowed with the tag page.
This was my first time using a canvas page in the journal, it took a long time for me to get past my fear of the canvas, lol. So happy with how this turned out. My journalling says "Today and everyday I am grateful for second chances".
