Happy Tuesday!
I hope you’ve had a great week and that you enjoyed our Freaky Friday Blog Hop (if you missed it, it’s not to late to check it out and comment for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the online store! We’ll announce the winners on Friday!).
While the hop was happening, I was making a hot mess in an all day Art Journaling class with Dina Wakley! We had such a fun time, and I tried some new things and stepped out of my comfort zone… it was fabulous! Today I want to share with you the ‘big’ project we did in her new Mixed Media journal– a six ‘page’ spread with one continuous theme. Wow! Since this was a class, I’m not going to be giving you any step-by-step details, though I will encourage you to take a class with Dina if you ever get a chance, she’s a really great teacher! If she doesn’t teach in an area near you, she’s got classes available online and some great youtube videos to check out as well!
As I said, we worked in the new journal and our spread started with a page of watercolor paper, then burlap (2 sides) then a large tag (2 sides-inserted with her Printed Paper Tape) and finally another page of watercolor paper. I used images from the ‘Words in Faces‘ stamp set as my focal point. My color scheme was primarily Lapis, Fuchsia and Cheddar paints from her collection. I also used a variety of other stamps & stencils from her collection… lots of fun stuff to work with!
Space doesn’t allow for me to share a ton of close up photos… but I hope you can get a taste of the creative fun I had! So many things about this stretched me out of my comfort zone, and I loved it! Hopefully it inspires you to move out of yours this week… and make a hot mess 🙂
Inky hugs,
Tara
Glad you had a great time!
