Welcome to the blog everyone and happy Tuesday!

I have an art journal feature today that represents my comfort zone. Of all colors, I love neutrals!! Soft muted tones are easiest for me to design with. What colors are you most comfortable with?

I started out with my Dina Wakley media journal (watercolor pages) and some amazing paper from 49 and Market Captured Adventure collection. These papers are 6×6 double sided and are about a 60lb weight, very sturdy! There are 2 sheets of each of 9 designs, and they have 2 sheets of laser cut elements that you can use on your creations.

I used a sheet of 6×6 paper on each of the two pages of my journal layout, then added strips of cut paper to balance the page. I added a bit of embossing past with the Simon Says Stamp Damask and Tim Holtz Numeric stencils. Once the paste was dry, I added a hint of color with Prima Metallique Light Patina acrylic paint.

I glued down a Simon Says Stamp Cosmo Flower Frame and Alexandra Renke Poppy flower die cut from black cardstock. Once I had my flowers in place, I added elements from the 49 and Market laser cuts and Tim Holtz Quote Chips for my journal title.

I’ve shot a video of the complete process, you can view it below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
