I’m back in my mini Traveler’s Art Journal today. I am creating a collage with old book paper and one of my messy underpapers. For more color I am playing with Stabilo Woodys and some stamps.

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’m creating an art journal collage today using designer papers for the background. I also play with a lot of Texture and Neocolor II Crayons. And as always I am using a lot of stamps.

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 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.
