Beach Bum Art Journal

I did a bit of playing around in my art journal last week. I was inspired by Mou’s “Take the Challenge” on the Design Memory Craft blog. The challenge is to make something about a favorite destination. I chose the beach. 🙂

I started by mod podging a few gelli prints as a background, then I painted on top of them with gesso to tone down the colors. I stamped with some of my spirograph stamps onto the page then I spray misted a couple of circles with yellow mister huey.
After a bit of doodling and journaling, I applied gelatos to the top edge of the page, misted them with water & let them drip down.
I love the look. 🙂

Have you done any art journaling or mixed media lately? What I love about art journaling is that there are so many different styles.

Your mix media pages always look so pretty and effortless! It would take me forever to fill up a journal but I'm trying to fill up my SMASH book (slowing but surely) 🙂
