How to make a Grungy Art Journal Page with a colorful style

Today’s video is a playful process in my junky art journal. It’s handmade and I love to create grungy and colorful spreads in it. For the main images on the page I used some loose colored stamped images from my Sketchy Flowers #1 and the Sketchy Flowers #3 sets. On the background I worked with Liquitex Acrylic Gouache.

Messy Spread in my Junk Art Journal

I love playing with different materials in my handmade junk art journal. It’s bound from left over painted papers, old book pages and tea-dyed papers. I stitched signitures with around 4 papers (= 8 pages) and glued these together with a gummed paper tape. For this spread I played with the Rubber Dance Bold & Beautiful, Mixed Media Borders and Lace Borders stamp sets.

Abstract Watercolor Art Journaling

Playing abstract with watercolors is one of my favourite habits to take some creative minutes off on a busy day. It’s an relaxing, joyful and intuitive process. I combine the watercolors with other materials like pencils, crayons and stamps.

Pages from my Sketchbook

I love to draw in my sketchbook and for about 4 months now it became a daily habit for me. Of course I don’t share all my pages, but here are some that I made to be kind of prepared for our summer holidays in Croatia. I am working in mixed media with Markers, Pastels, Gouache, Colored Pencils and Crayons. You will find my favourite Art Supplies here.

One Stamp Set – Two Styles

For this page I used my Doodle Flowers stamps set. It’s super versatile as you can see here. I created one spread with a more vintage style. I worked in the Dina Wakley Media Journal. I like this journal because of the different kinds of papers inside.
