Remember This Moment Art Journal Page

REMEMBER THIS DAY ART JOURNAL...

I always find it so relaxing to just create in art journals. 

They are so fun to do...so many sizes of art journals on the market to choose from!

SO...

Your canvas can be any size that you want to create with. 

I used a Tumuranta Water Color Art Journal along with 3 colors of Distress Oxide Inks from Ranger to begin my page. 

Add a few 49 and Market Vintage Orchard Rub-ons to page. 

Stamp with your favorite script background randomly on page. 

Add a few more of the 49 and Market Vintage Orchard Rub-ons ,

Stamp a fun circle border stamp to edge using Ranger Black Archival Ink to edge of page.

Lay a small stencil on top of prepared art journal page. 

Apply DecoArt Mixed Media Crackle Paint over top of stencil. Dry. 

Finish with black spatters. Dry. 

Enjoy creating art journal pages.
