Scenic Art Journaling

Hi, friends!  I've been following along with Clare's amazing Art Journaling Classes but I missed one--OOPS!!!  So, I had to fix that this weekend!  Her video this time around was about creating a scene.  I was a bit intimidated, but Clare does a great job on her videos so I think I might have succeeded and that this project will be framed and put in my home or given as a gift!  Thanks, Clare!!!

Here's what I came up with~

Details~

Can you see the splatter from the water & glimmer mist?

Better detail of the bubble wrap stamping. LOVE this!

Authentique paper roses for some flora.

Torn paper hills with fern stamped over them.

Paper pieced birch trees--a glorious image!

More roses.  I love this fabulous paper!

For these fabulous challenges~



This piece of artwork uses patterned papers from Recollections, Authentique, DCWV, and more from my stash that I'm unsure of.  These papers were used for landscape aspects.

For the sky, I used my blending tool by Ranger, Tempting Turquoise ink by Stampin' Up!, bubble wrap (my newest fave!), good old fashioned water, and some gold glimmer mist by Tattered Angels.  I tried out the drip technique with water and the glimmer mist, but it didn't work exactly right although I do love how it created "clouds" in the sky!  Water is an amazing way to create texture!

The trees and fern stamped images are by Clarity, the sentiment is from Stampin' Up!, and the glitter around the edges of things is by Studio 112.  I paper pieced the trees using white paper to show the amazing birch detail of them.  I LOVE how the white just POPS out at you!

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek!  I hope you like what you see and that you're inspired to try something new today!  HUGS and happy art journaling!!! :)
