Красивая страница журнала !!! Люблю смотреть ваши уроки !!!

[@KarenBurchill]

Дуже дякую.

[@kaymerryman2136]

I love the vintage look and pink butterflies! Just beautiful!

[@KarenBurchill]

Truly a winning combo....I think teal would work well...hmmm what other colors.???

[@sonileesmith2256]

Just absolutely beautiful!! My word for the year is RECLAIM!! Perfect!❤

[@KarenBurchill]

Great word to choose. K

[@jenniferscott7203]

Absolutely love those pink butterflies against your wonderful neutral master board..just lovely. Thank you for sharing

[@KarenBurchill]

You are most welcome. K

[@denverdazzle5131]

I agree the pink butterflies make it pop!

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you.....pink is my happy place...brown not so much....but together they do work. K

[@denverdazzle5131]

Yes I love the straight edge next to the torn edge, it adds so much interest!

[@KarenBurchill]

Variation is nice which is why I did it this way....maybe next time will rip both...LOL so many options. K

[@victoriascully4420]

I agree with how you cut the strip and tore the font part. I love this vintage look.

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you....vintage is so easy and forgiving...the grundgier the better. K

[@sherryliberto6749]

Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing. I also love the brown and pink together. During the winter red and brown look amazing too. Have a super fantastic evening. Sending big hugs Sherry

[@KarenBurchill]

Yes...I think brown is a great go together with all....good to use in masterboards as it increases overall usability. K

[@janettegeorge2691]

Love it Karen beautiful colours 👍❤️

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you Janette. I am not a "brown" color person...so I have to deliberately choose to use it .K

[@sherrydmyterko-tramp8654]

Love the neutral color with pink. I like the edge straight with the torn where you did. One of if not my fav of yours.

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you....I always love when I do a neutral background but it never is my go to....so not quite comfortable with it. K

[@peggyr7799]

Hi Karen - this page is awesome - love it !!! Tfs 👵🏻🎨🤗❤️👍

[@KarenBurchill]

Thanks so much .

[@leotapentecost]

Love vintage

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you...happy creating. K

[@annettereeb2685]

Love it. I do like the portrait better than landscape.

[@KarenBurchill]

Thanks so much for watching

[@thegypsy1968]

I would have all the edges jagged and or deckled. However, this is scrumptious and will be giving this a go today I think it would look great as my new art journal cover. Thank you for sharing Karen. Have a super awesome day! Hugs,GinaB💕💖😍

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you...yes I agree and will probably do jagged next time. Happy creating. K

[@triniacosta5012]

Este trabajo si que ¡¡¡¡¡ME ENCANTAAAA!!!!! Gracias por compartir y regalar momentos de alegrías.

[@KarenBurchill]

De nada. No puedes equivocarte usando mariposas

[@craftycx7197]

Love the pink butterflies and finished page. I would have gone for torn edges on the masterboard but that's my comfort zone! Tfs x

[@KarenBurchill]

We are creatures of habit arent we ? I am trying to do things differently...or trying new things like using brown and not ripping....K

[@marcil7389]

Beautiful page!

[@KarenBurchill]

Thanks so much!

[@lindagraham]

[@KarenBurchill]

Wow, thank you! Happy creating.

[@ayshanaleef1123]

Not bad ❤

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you

[@marikareimer4411]

Hello Karen, I love how those butterflies just pop with the pink! Great page! 😊

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you...you can't go wrong with butterflies . K

[@kathrinevogus1389]

Thank you for sharing. I am learning so much from your videos which I just recently discovered. The thing that strikes me the most is how confident you are in your fine motor movements and how comfortable you are with your tools. I tend to hesitate with paintbrushes and I am an absolute klutz with the rotary cutter. I cannot keep that thing going in a straight line! But I'm new to art journaling. Hopefully, time and practice will make the difference.

[@KarenBurchill]

Oh thank you so much. Yes over time you develop muscle memory and everything goes so much easier. I lose myself when I create....it's like the comfortable pair of old jeans....K

[@jocelynannmc]

Very cute and easy to do. The print upside down is messing with my anxiety LOL. My master boards tend to turn out being bright and multiple colors. I like this feel though and may try more neutral shades.

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you. Often I don't even know if I am going to go landscape or portrait..and that is why the print ends up upside down...In a perfect world it would be right side up ( even for me) although I am ok with how it is. I am like you and work more with bright colors....I have to make a conscious decision to go neutral even though I often like what results when I do go neutral.

[@lydiadragan2563]

Beautiful! What is the site for the napkins?

[@KarenBurchill]

ninnysnapkins...the link and a coupon code are in the description box. Have fun checking it out. K
