Mixed Media Art Journal Page - Braver Than You Think - Art Journaling

Timelapse video of my latest mixed media art project using a variety of techniques. Today I am working in my Prima mixed Media book to create an Art Journal Page. In my art journaling I use a combination of Dylusions Paints, Stamps from Darkroom Door & Tim Holtz, as well as stencils from Crafter's Workshop.

Wow, the colors are bright and fun, and I’m absolutely loving the cat and bird stamps. Tfs!

[@artfulevidence]

Thanks Lori. I like this one too :-)

[@suzyhubert7434]

Hello. You're the first cafter that I watched, about a year ago. I tried art journal but couldn't do something I liked so I tried card making and love it. But after watching several of your video these last days, I want to try it again. You inspire me. I'm always waiting for a new video. Thank you.

[@artfulevidence]

Hi Suzy, I'm glad to hear you've been inspired to give art journaling another go - Just think of it as making a card that you stick in a book, rather than send to someone, might might help you :-)

[@lori88ish]

I love the crazy birds and crazy cats still want the dogs one day. The quote fit so perfect, realty cute the colors totally make it pop Thanks again

[@artfulevidence]

You're welcome Lori. Glad you liked it :-)

[@vamps_rock]

At 1m 38secs I was sold. The background is gorgeous!!!

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you very much :-)

[@racheljolley26352]

Yes I have really enjoyed watching you create this fabulous fun piece of artwork, those cats and the doodled tails are magic, love it! Tfs

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you very much Rachel :-)

[@drillteammom56]

I really enjoyed watching this page grow and take shape! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you Nannette, much appreciated :-)

[@ruthannmolyneaux478]

I really appreciate the way you are using these ready-made materials to create a great page! Your detailing is really neat and gives a lot of pow to the work.

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you :-)

[@1tinac]

Something we all need to remember to pull on that strength. Great page. Dun to watch you create. Thanks for sharing. Off to see more.

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you very much :-)

[@Fray4all]

A good lesson on keeping a piece harmonious with a limited color palette. Thanks for sharing. The gesso stenciling dried interestingly and rather transparent.

[@artfulevidence]

Thanks for watching. I only used a very thin coat of gesso, so yes, it does dry to a more translucent finish in this case :-)

[@angelajennings9401]

I always love your choice of colours and all your tips and tricks. Beautiful page.

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you very much Angela. Glad you liked it :-)

[@christinesmith989]

[@mirandaford4907]

Great fun, plus I was surprised by how well that violet ink worked with the distresssed lines stamp on that fabulously bright and cheerful back ground. Thank you.

I want those cat and birds stamps so bad! They sets don't seem to be too bad of a deal. This layout has given me an idea those. MM art with song lyrics... hmmmm. Love the colors, so pretty!

How fun is that, putting together these two Tim Holtz stamps, with the added "fright" of all those arms reaching into the picture!!! Liked the new colors and the sentiment too. BTW, I went back in time and viewed one of your older videos. Think I like the music you have now. Just saying. . . .

Thea videos are so satisfying to watch. 😀 Cute journal page. 🙂

[@suebouch4074]

Just when I think I know what my next art project will be, you change my mind. LOL 😁 I love the way you used the Tim Holtz crazy sets paired perfectly with that impactful quote. Thanks so much for your time and energy to do these daily uploads the last couple of weeks. They have transported me FROM passive inspiration being creative with my familiar options TO being BRAVE enough to explore new possibilities I've been collecting in my stash for several years. My 2018 goal of doing an art project every week has evolved into being creative in some way every day... I'll always be grateful to you for your inspiration and encouragement. Thank you 💟

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you very much Sue. It's really lovely to hear how much my videos have inspired you. Thank you for taking time out of your day to watch and comment. Much appreciated :-)

[@janevincent7103]

Super cool, Rach. I love the mix of colors and animals. I have both the cats and birds T. Holtz sets. In fact I just used the cats for a Mission Inspiration challenge for March. I have the same stencils you used so gives me some inspiration for another page. Thank you. Jane

Loving all your stamps and stencils and how you use them

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you very much Lucia :-)

[@loisseeley5039]

Loved this one. Laughed that you use the cat and bird. One of my all-time favorite of your is the Whimsical Cat tag! As a matter of fact, I am doing a journal page following that tag. Almost done. Of course, I had to scale up everything but your tag was my inspiration!

[@artfulevidence]

I love the whimsical style too - I'd had these sets in my stash for probably 6 months or so and not used them, so it was about time, lol :-)

[@shirleyping7058]

I love this page, you are always so creative in your use of color and imagery, I so enjoy watching..

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you very much Shirley :-)
