EASY FLOWERS FOR YOUR JOURNALS

EASY FLOWERS FOR YOUR JOURNALS
Hey, everybody. I sat down yesterday and painted some pretty flowers, inspired by a piece of wall paper that I've had in the shop for a year or more. I love taking inspiration from something and then creating my own version. These flowers are very easy to paint.
I use the acronym G.R.E.A.T. -- a system I created for making layered journal pages.
G = ground floor
R = repeating pattern
E = ephemera
A = art
T = texture
There is always wiggle room with the steps, and it's perfectly okay to flip some steps or skip a step, but going through these five thought processes makes it really easy to create a GREAT journal page. It is an easy formula for getting out of a creative block!
Thank you so much for watching!! Thank you for your support! I appreciate all of you!

Love the flowers! And I must say whenever I log into KZbin you are one of the first channels I look for to see if you've added a new video. You've quickly become one of my favorite KZbinrs💜. What's GREAT stand for again please.

[@abitofbirdsong]

Thank you so much! ❤️ I’m so happy you’re here. I just added the acronym to the description. Forgot to do that when I published the video, and I forgot to mention the ephemera step. 😁 I have a playlist of G.R.E.A.T. journal page videos.xx

1st comment ❤ My dear friend ❤ I swear by your G.R.E.A.T. method since I discovered it IS great!😂 I think I know what I'm doing tonight.❤, I love your water colour set. Brandy will be watching you.🤭😇 I so love your flowers. Thankyou for the 'tutorial'. Much love and long distance hugs. I needed to hear your psychology on the why of doing some art. Thanks girlfriend. 🇭🇲🤗📚🖌💖💖💖

[@abitofbirdsong]

Hi Claire, my friend!! Sorry it’s taken me a little bit to answer you. I love your thought about Brandi. She was a very sweet person. I hope you’re having a good week!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@claireskey5439]

​@@abitofbirdsongNo worries Lynn❤. Time Zones suck, plus your work, sleep, etc 🤭 i even tried some of your flowers. Not too bad a result. I never dipped water soluble pencils in water before, because I love them dry mostly. So I tried that technique too. Groovy! See you soon.🤗🇭🇲💖📚🖌

[@junestartin9146]

Lovely flower designs lyn ❤

[@abitofbirdsong]

Thank you so much 😊

[@potatochipaddict9067]

You always make me want to use paint more often. I always feel like my art isn’t pretty enough so I tend to stay away from it. I’ll have to start using the G.R.E.A.T method.

[@abitofbirdsong]

Keep painting!! ❤️❤️ I always enjoy reading your comments! Even if I haven’t had time to respond to them all. Take care ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
