Art Journal - Filled with Love

I came across The Craft Barn's Art Journal Challenge and thought I'd have a go. The theme is Filled with Love, so hearts filled with what you love.


Have to say I've never done this before but I do love making Distress Ink backgrounds - they always turn out differently hence the UNIQUE ART. I also love stamping and heat embossing. I don't have a journal so just used an A4 sheet of card which I can bind into a book later...as I enjoyed creating this page I'm now thinking of doing the House challenge from last month.

Anyway I've used Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick and Aged Mahogany Distress Inks spritzed with a Craftynotions Pink Lustre. There's a Glimmer Mist Screen in the background too. The stamps are from Oak House Studio - Harlequin, Mack Rose and Walesby Flourish - and the writing is my own and definitely the hardest part of the page.

Thanks for looking - I'm off to see if I have any house stamps!!

  2. You love the same things as me! I adore your background - the border is gorgeous. Your misting is so good too - not one of my strong points sadly.I must try harder! Julia

  3. Gorgeous page Elaine. Bit scary doing your first AJ page isn't it? I went out and bought a sketchbook after doing my first one on 8x8 this week, had to trim it a bit but worth it. You mentioned the house challenge from last week, now I'm just going to have to find that one too. Thanks BJ
