I made a new page in my handmade mini Traveler’s Notebook. I started with a black background and build up layers to create my background. My main images are from my Loose Florals stamp set.

I love to paint loose and sketchy flowers with watercolors. I believe this is something everybody can do without having much knowledge about watercolor painting. I really enjoy the process and it’s always something you can fit into a busy day.

I am creating a Christmas/ Winter scene today in one of my handmade art journals. I am working with Distress Inks and Embossing for the background. The houses are colored with watercolor pencils.

Today’s art journal page is made in my handmade mini Traveler’s Notebook insert. I started with an easy collage background and played with water-soluble crayons and one of my Doodle Flower stamps.

On this art journal page I used Stabilo Woodys together with an embossing resist technique. After I colored the background I embossed some stamp images with clear powder on top. The embossing acts as a resist.

I have a mixed media canvas video for you today. I used a watercolor flower painted on old book paper as a focal image. I made it pop combining it with black gesso.

Time for another sketchy watercolor flower. I so enjoy painting loose florals in a mixed media style. I worked in my 6 x 6 watercolor journal and used paints from different manufacturers.

Today I have a new art journaling tutorial to share. It’s super easy and perfect for beginners. I played in my square watercolor journal using Stabilo Woodys and collaging. For my main image I created a vase from old book paper and added the Doodle Flowers. These are also colored in with the Stabilo Woodys.

Today I am sharing another art journal page in my new handmade journal using a lot of layers. I am playing with acrylic paints. My main image is a flower from my Flowers Gone Wild stamp set.
