Hello there! I have a new Art Journal page for the 3rd prompt in Smeared & Smudged’s Kickstart Your Art. The prompt is “Found Objects,” and I went with Laura’s fab tutorial to make my page. Plus, we are celebrating a Wacky Holiday over at the Bombshell Blog. It’s Inspire Your Heart with Art. I have all the details about this cool day on the Bombshell Blog.
I should have probably gone with some deeper tones, but I was working only with Glimmer Mists…so they tend to be a bit translucent. I really need to get some of those Dylusions sprays. I used some buttons, paper clips, and a couple of other things all over the page and sprayed the heck out of them. After the page dried, I stamped some pretty flowers from Bombshell Stamps‘ ‘Till Death set.
So as I was looking at the page…thinking about the prompt and wacky holiday, I realized that even the ordinary can be extraordinary. Nothing is mundane….everything can hold even a little bit of magic. Even those buttons and paper clips that I used to make my pretty (and super shimmery!) background. We just have to look at things the right way. And doesn’t that just inspire my heart. 🙂
I’ve gotta say, I have been loving this journaling-everyday-thing. I have been coming up with uncomplicated pages, but that’s ok. It’s getting me to think, and create with the kids, and get my thoughts on paper. It’s been a blast! Be sure to visit the Bombshell Blog to see more fun projects! Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
Your page rocks! I'm totally going to have to use paper clips soon for this. And you're right…a lot of things in life are about perspective.:) Thanks for playing with us! *hugs*
