Unique Art Expressions August Challenge: Add Birds


This month we are Sponsored by:

Always Grateful x2


They have a fantastic Etsy Shop, full of many beautiful kits!
I really had fun working with their products,
and was inspired to create a two page art journal spread.

Here's my project:


Isn't that a fun spread?
I began by creating a smooshed background, using a variety of Distress Inks.
I then fussy cut all the image from the Sponsor sheet, 
and adhered them in place on my pages.

Here's a closer look:


Once everything was glued in place,
I added a few doodle lines with my black micron pen.
I just love the sentiment on this page! :o)

Finally, to finish things off with a bit of sparkle,
I added several pretty sequins.


I love turning the page in my art journal add seeing this cheerful spread! :o)
 
Materials Used:
Small Coil Art Journal;
Distress Inks: Victorian Velvet, Mowed Lawn, Broken China;
