my art journal pages lately | journal with me ✩ 47+48

October 26, 2020

Hey Lovelies.

Just wanted to share a few pages I’ve done recently in my Get Messy Season of Bloom art journal. I’ve been a bit out of sorts lately and honestly have absolutely no motivation to do anything. It’s been a bit frustrating because I want to work in this art journal and my scrapbook and start my gratitude journal, but at the same time, I don’t want to do anything.

Supplies I Used:

  • Golden Heavy Body Acrylic Paint Titan Violet Pale
  • Holbein Acryla Gouache Pale Aqua
  • Holbein Acryla Gouache Pale Pink
  • Holbein Acryla Gouache Pale Lavender
  • Blick White Gesso
  • Golden Light Molding Paste
  • Charcoal Pencil
  • Platinum Carbon Black Fountain Pen
  • Martha Stewart Floral Stencil
  • Tim Holtz Clippings Stickers

But I sat at my desk the other day and decided to play. It basically began by plopping down some paint on a scrap piece of white cardstock I had left over from a Felicity Jane project. I was chatting with my friend on the phone while applying the paint and molding paste to the page. I ended up working on two separate spreads that day, as I used the left over molding paste to finish up a spread I had previously worked on.

For the main spread I was creating, I cut little scallop bits from different pattern papers I had and collaged them on top of each other so that they create a mountain effect of sorts. I’ve done this technique in the past and it’s always a good one to go to when you don’t quite know what to create.

Since I still had a messy art desk the next day, I sat down and created another spread. I honestly don’t ever know what I’m going to create before hand. I mean, sometimes I have an idea, but I prefer to let my pages form organically. It’s the same way I like to scrap. I like my pages to take shape on their own in the moment.

This spread I really had no clue what I was doing. I just really wanted to use up the rest of the stickers I had on this one Lace & Whimsy sticker sheet. It had this lovely sticker of a cottage that I wanted to include. So did a funky little layer cluster with it, but not before I lathered my page with this bright minty teal green paint that I love.

Supplies I Used:

  • Golden Heavy Body Acrylic Paint Light Phthalo Green
  • Blick White Gesso
  • Lace & Whimsy Sticker Sheet

This spread definitely consists of a random assortment of bits. I ended up painting the entire right page with that green paint. That page was just a piece of white cardstock with a bit of embossing at the top. I ended up layering the prologue to Romeo & Juliet on that page along with some other papers and a mini white doily. Then I used a header I cut from a Daphne’s Diary to write out “Head over heals in love with.”

This spread came out rather quickly considering. Definitely check out the process below. I hope you enjoy.

The nicest things can happen when you let go.

Growth is a series of push and pull, of holding on and letting go.

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
