Accentuate the Positive with an Art Journal spread

- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Toward the end of February we had some unseasonably warm weather following a few very windy days. Those windy days left me with a yard full of sticks and twigs that had fallen from the huge River Birch tree in my front yard. The temps were near 70 degrees so I spent a gorgeous afternoon doing a bit of cleanup and managed to get a really bad case of the Spring Fever. I had Spring on my mind when I put together this spread in my art journal. I hope you enjoy!

Not all decorative napkins have three layers, some have only two. Check carefully to avoid tearing that top layer. Love the variety of tones in the book pages. Thanks for sharing the process as well as the results.
I’ve never encountered one with only two layers. Good to know! Thanks for watching
I really enjoyed watching you create this and I love how it turned out. I’m so glad I came across your channel. 😊
Rhonda, thank you so much!
I absolutely adore this layout. It tugs at my heart strings. Your channel popped up as a recommendation and I subscribed!
Thank you Lori!
I too love that style of stamps. Your page is gorgeous. So happy you popped up in my feed. I will now binge watch several of your other videos. You have inspired me 🤗👍
Oh my goodness thanks Abbie! I’m humbled. I hope you enjoy them all ☺️
You are right, those flowers are so FUNN. I really like how you treated them, too. Well done.
Thank you so much!
Oh my gosh!.... I love this so much! Please make more mixed media videos😍❤️❤️❤️
Tammy, thank you so much. I’m sure there will me more mixed media in the near future. 😉
I love this layout. First time viewer and now subscribed. I’m new to JJ and find it the most fun of any hobby/craft I’ve ever done.
Thank you! Me too … but I love all things arty.
New subscriber here, love your style, and choice of stamps! Will definitely look forward to more videos, thanks for sharing!
Welcome Scarlett! So glad you enjoyed it. ☺️
How oddly creative!!! I LOVE it!
Thank you so much Kathleen
This was the first video I've seen of yours - I had to see it, as I recognized PaperArtsy flowers. I love their quirky designs but your idea of stamping the outline on the journal page was genius. Also have to mention - my name is Kristin with middle name, Rae. I have met very few women with the name Rae, as first or middle! So cool to see we are sooooo close to having the same name!
Kristin, Kristina …. Same difference right! That is uncommon and we’ve found each other. If you tell me you were born in March then we really have something to talk about. 😃 Thanks for watching!
Ahhh, not March but October. What fun though. Happy birthday month to you!
I've not yet tried mixed media,but the more I see videos on it the more I love the look! Love yourpages,tsmfs!
Thank you. It’s so much fun.
Just found you. You are so down to earth in your demo & inspiring. Wonderful journal spread!! Love the napkin effect! I'll be looking for more videos from you. Thank you!!
Thanks Margaret!
First time watching your channel. Love the background and your journaling style. 😀
Thanks so much Sarah!
I am so in love with this! So glad you popped up in my recommended! 😍😍
Thank you so much! 😊
Hi, I really loved watching this a couple of days ago! I even tried it on a watercolour paper and I had a lot of fun. I especially loved experimenting with my supplies without any goal, just going with it. So yesterday I got myself a journal with thick paper and some matte medium. I also went to my parenst for some old books and I’m ready to make another page. Thank you for showing this!
Thank you for sharing this with me. I’m so tickled you found inspiration through this video. Remember the goal is to have fun not produce a masterpiece. Those come by surprise. 😊
@@kristina-rae I just finished my first page in my journal and I had a lot of fun! I feel like I want to highlight some things a bit more, but it didn’t really work and I wasn’t sure how to do it better. I’ll give it another try next time. Also, my pens didn’t work very well on top of the matte medium and the gesso, so I’ll have to try some different ones. But, it’s just so relaxing, time flies while you’re journaling!
Quick practical question, I was worried the matte medium and the gesso would dry on my brush, so I have been running to the sink and back. How do you deal with that? And with all the other mess from getting your fingers in the paint and splattering?
Posca pens or paint pens are the best (in my experience).
A jar of water just like with paint to rinse, but I don’t always rinse, but will drop it in the water to prevent drying. Also baby wipes and/or a wet rag is perfect for wiping messy hands on.
Absolutely love this page ❤️ you are so much fun to watch crafting 😊
Thank you! I always have fun crafting - it’s my happy place. 🥳
Oh my goodness I’m so happy I found your page it popped up this morning and I absolutely love the process of how you did things. Thanks again and I’m hooked now.
Daphne, thank you so much.
Really enjoyed your video, your spread turned out so well, adding the Posca pen added the pop! You can also used clear gloss gel through that stencil right over your images and it just adds a dimension and sparkle like glass!💕🇨🇦
Thank you Cindy! I love using glossy accents or diamond glaze for some projects but didn’t even think about it for this one. Might have to revisit in a couple spots and see how it looks.
Wouaw....wouaw.....c'est magnifique ! 🤩🤩Je viens de m'abonner à votre chaîne ! Ce que vous faites, c'est de l'art ! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank you Evelyn! ❤️
I love that you admit to loving glue!! Me too! I don't admit it though since kids love glue. I guess we are just big kids!!
OMG! I think you just became my best friend!!!!
I love how this turned out - both the elements and the sentiment are great!
Thanks so much Laurie
I like that you showed some of the xacto knife cutting in real time.
And cut out the bloody parts …LOL.
Hi! Listening to your comment about liking thicker glue reminds me of a challenge I recently had. Got a new bottle of art glitter glue and it was too runny. So my husband suggested I get a pot of hot water slowly going and I set the bottle in the middle. I didn't rush cooking off some water out of the glue as it could form a skin on the glue and make the bottle itself start to collapse. Took me a good hour , doing it at a low temp., but it thickened up my glue. I also use Fabri Tac glue when I use fabric and to thin that down it just needs a bit of nail polish remover. Sometimes we spend more time on our supplies than getting to use them! 😂boiling
OMG! So true about spending more time with supplies. I will remember this about art glitter glue because I’ve had some that was too runny. Thanks for the tip. 😃
So glad I came across this video. Educational and enjoyable. I subscribed. Thank you
Welcome Linda!
I love this! So glad I found your channel.
Eugene, thank you so much. 😊
Really nice video! Just found your channel and I am pretty new to art journaling. I have two sisters that have been doing art journaling for years and they have coaxed me along. I loved watching your process. I have always done some form of art, but I am on a pretty new journey of mixing the mediums. Still finding challenges in layering media, using correct substrates, making focal points pop.
OMG Mary! You don’t know what you have been missing. The most fun is discovering what works and what doesn’t. That’s why we call it a journal. You find what works in your journal and then you can create that masterpiece for the Louvre. 😉
Love the end product (and your process, of course) and your joyfulness! Thank you. ❤
Thank you so much Sandra!
I love this. I'm using it as inspiration in my own art journal. Eliminate the Negative is a great messege. Subscribed.
Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing and subscribing.

New subscriber. Beautiful pages!
Hello Deb. Welcome! Thanks for the kind words.
I really like how your art journal turned out. I've never seen napkins like the ones you used. Do you have a source where you can order unique napkins?
Thank you. The napkins came from Home Goods. We also used to get a ton from Tuesday Morning but they closed. I’ve never looked online for them.
I’ve been on a medication that’s made me depressed and I haven’t done much art lately. This has totally motivated me to give it a try. Thank you! How did you make your textured stenciled part green?
I’m so glad the project motivated you!! I believe I used a green Adirondack spray on that too.
An idea i have, is it possible to color texture paste before using it with the stencil? What would you use?
I’ve colored texture paste before just using acrylic paint.
New subscriber right here :-)
Yay! Welcome and thank you.
beautiful. is it a master board?
Thank you. No, just a little fun in the art room.
I’ve just found you so I am seeking more info. What size, kind, style, type name brand, etc. of journal are you using?
Typically I use something with sturdy mixed media pages. I love the Dylusion Journals by Ranger. This was done in a bullet journal I got from Hobby Lobby (not recommended).
Would you share the stamps you used to color thestamps
I think you are asking about the ink colors I used. I used Adirondack Color Wash sprays by Ranger. Red Pepper, Sunset Orange and Meadow.
What kind of glue are you using?
Kayla, I used Art Glitter Glue. I have shared a link in the description.
@@kristina-rae awesome, thank you!
Tutorials are enough on their own with the voiceover.
The music alienates a lot of people.
There are many who will be triggered by sensory overload from the visual, voice and music.
It's such a shame because it's an interesting video.
Thanks for your feedback
Your work is fun to watch however the repetitious music drove me crazy.I would not watch again for that reason.
Claudia thanks for the feedback
Love it! Newbie here! 👍🙏🏻🥁 check out Shawn Petite. She’s very inspirational, like you! 🖌📖🎨
Welcome! I love Shawn’s work. She is very talented.
Thank you for this inspiring project! I am a greeting card maker and typically work small. I have been creating collage papers though in order to begin an art journal. Your doodles looked great at the end!!❤️👍😃
Kathryn you will love art journaling because it can be a paper craft project too.
