Where to Find Inspiration to start a new page? 😊-FOR BEGINNERS

In this video, I'm taking you one step back in my creation process to show you where you can get inspiration to start a blank page. The start of a new page is always the most difficult, so I wanted to answer this very common question showing you many prompts to help you make that first step 😁

This series is such a great idea and so helpful. Please do continue. I love this spread. The colors are wonderful and I love how you placed the flowers around the frame. It looks like I am lying in a field of wildflowers looking up at a beautiful blue sky. I want to share a book with you. It's called Extraordinary Things to Cut Out and Collage by Maria Rivens. It's published in 2020 in the UK so you should have an easier time than I did in getting it. Mine came from Australia and took almost 6 weeks to get to the US! The book is large, 12x9 inches and is a goldmine of color images (over 1500) to cut out and use. Flowers, trees, animals, people, buildings... it even has a tucan! Please Google it and check it out. Because you like the antiquated sticker book so much, I am sure you will like this book and be able to use it in your art journaling. When it came today and I looked through it, I said to myself - I must tell Umut! LoL. Really (smile) Thanks for all you do. Be well.

[@artjournalstories7313]

ohhh, I looked for it and it's AMAZING! OMG you totally sold it to me, I'm getting it 😂😂 Thanks so much for the recommendation Phinny. Many hugs ❤️❤️

[@rikaengelbrecht9377]

[@leahduncan6982]

Thank you for sharing your inspiration. I have saved many of these color inspirations on Pinterest, but have never used them. Next time I’m feeling stuck on choosing color I will have to look at them.

[@artjournalstories7313]

Thank you for doing the gelatos on the dried modeling paste flowers. I don't know why , but I seldom use my gelatos. I always forget about them. Thanks for the reminder! I'll go see if you've done any videos on the different ways to use gelatos. 😊

[@artjournalstories7313]

Wonderful!I love gelatos, they are so creamy :) ❤️

Beautiful layout

[@artjournalstories7313]

Thanks so much!

[@shellyp8731]

Just so lovely! Yes, this was totally helpful! It’s really helpful to see how you get your inspiration and ideas. I find I go through spurts of inspiration and get tons of ideas and then I go blank for awhile. Searching through color palettes is a brilliant idea! I saved some home painting brochures for that same purpose...but online searching is so much better!

[@artjournalstories7313]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks a lot Shelly! ❤️

Awesome! Thank you!

[@abuzerluxor]

Merhaba Umut, bu video için çok teşekkürler, yıllardır videolar izliyorum ama anladım ki asıl renklerle oynamaktan korkmamam lazım herşeyden önce :) Çok güzel bir sayfa oldu, insanlara sunulan malzemelerin çokluğu bu işin esasında malzemeyle alakalı olmadığını unutturuyor bize. sevgiler, ebru

[@artjournalstories7313]

Merhaba Ebru, cok tesekkurler. Begenmene sevindim. Aslinda daha sonra yayinlayacaktim bunu ama senin yorumunu okuyunca one cektim :) Faydasi olmasina sevindim. Guzel gorunen projelerin cogunun yuzde 80 basarisi renklerin guzel kullanilmasindan geciyor. Tabi ki izleyici olarak ayrimlayamiyoruz bazen, ama kontrast renkler gercekten carpici durur. Benden de sevgiler ❤️

[@meernagosh3859]

That was really helpful, it gave us tons of ideas ! I love this series, I hope you continue with it 💝💝 Lovely page as always 💞💞

[@artjournalstories7313]

Thanks so much Meerna! 😊 ❤️❤️❤️

[@sallyhealey4213]

Thank you for sharing this information. I could not see the link for the cheaper version of the gelatos - could you please add the link - many thanks

[@artjournalstories7313]

It's definitely in the description, says Alternative to gelatos. Please check again. 😊

[@agelinaarti231]

Great work and very helpfull!!Where can i find this stencil?

[@artjournalstories7313]

No idea, I bought it many years ago. You can Google Donna Downey stencils. Thanks! x

[@fburky]

Hi umut. I went to design seeds but my screen isn't showing up like yours. I'm getting a lot of ads, can't figure out how you got such a nice assortment of color combinations to scroll through. This is a wonderful thing, so glad you shared it as I'm often wondering what colors go together. Any suggestions, is it because you're a patron to them? TIA

[@artjournalstories7313]

Not at all Tia, it's all a free page, that's why I showed it and everyone can reach. Maybe you went to the wrong page. but, anyway, here is their website. www.design-seeds.com/
