Art Journaling: BE KIND with Shari Carroll
Welcome everyone and HAPPY first day of March!!! I can feel it, Spring is on it’s way. I’m definitely in the mood for some bright colors and fun “free for all” creating.
I’ve added another entry to my art journal. This is a party on a page. It’s exploding with layers of paint, tissue paper and new washi tape from Dyan Reaveley and Dina Wakely. These tapes are amazing to add to your pages with super great colors and patterns!!
I’m working in my Dina Wakely Media journal on the kraft pages. I know it looks white, I added white paint to cover the outside edges once I had my design down.
Ranger has come out with some really cool Dina Wakely tissues for collage and journaling. They are printed with designs and words. I used Matte Gel Medium to glue them down.
Another fun item I used were the Dylussions paint pens. I found that I could draw with them and smear with my fingers to add little hints of color to areas of my page. They are also great for handwriting your journaling.
I had a blast creating this entry, I just let go and put down my items without much thought. I have a quick tip for you; Adhere the ends of your washi tape down with a glue stick or gel medium. This helps them become permanent.
I’ve created a full process video that you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
